2nd Week of September 2013

I did not do as well as I hoped for the first week.  In my defense, I have to say that I've only had limited windows of time to work on it.  I started with the bedroom; and while it didn't need much in the way of decluttering, I also couldn't get in it as much as I hoped because DH spends the majority of his day in bed.  
I did make some progress.  I got all the way around the perimeter of the room with dusting, and organizing where it was possible.  I was not able to get the windows and cutains done (yet) - I couldn't get the curtains through the laundry because when DH was up and out of the room I also had to do laundry for his bed.
Even though a new week starts today, I urgently need to do some rearranging in the bedroom.  My stepson and his girlfriend will be over today to help with that.  I'm hoping to get the curtains and windows donetoo, but I'll have to wait and see how that goes.

I did not get as far along with the sewing project as I had hoped.  I ran into some problems (had to wind bobbins; and rethread the machine several times.  It keeps unthreading, and I don't know why.  Very limited vision is making the rethreading extremely difficult and frutrating!).  However, I have gotten a lot of the pinning done, so when I do have chances to sit and sew I have a lot ready to go.

I forgot to put fall decorating on my list.  That surprises me, as I love fall decorations only 2nd best to Christmas ones.  I got a good start done on it, but have one more box I haven't brought downstairs yet.  I'm pretty sure I got all the summery things packed up (and my pillows all look naked because the runners and pillow covers are in that last box! LOL!)

I'm having trouble (with myself) fitting room-of-the-week projects and sewing projects in with the everyday things that must be done and the weekly cleaning. It's very hard to work out a schedule, since I have to work around a lot of unpredictability. But, I'm getting there.

I haven't taken pictures of everything yet, but I did take ones of the dining table. I will put them in another post (so it won't slow this one for anyone who doesn't want to bother with pictures).
