Week 4, September 2013

I know I'm late posting this.  My morning schedule has been changed and I'm now having a hard time getting things done.

I admit, I never finished the bathroom; but I did get the closets and cabinets done.  The rest I can add in little at a time.  It's big for a bathroom, but still a small room and only one small window.

This week is the Guest Room.  It's a disaster, and I can hardly wrap my mind around working on it.  But, it must be done.  I did make a tiny bit of progress in there over the weekend.  A few larger items were passed on to new homes.  I hope sometime today to take several boxes of donation stuff to the car.  If I can get it that far, I have a better chance of getting it to the proper donation site.  Eventually!  I still have some large items to deal with.  I have a huge doll house that I plan to try to sell (Craig's List).  I was so excited when I found it at a flea market - I've always wanted one.  But I find my vision is much too poor to be able to enjoy it.  I can't even see well enough to use the wallpapers I got for it.  And, having said that - if I could find a place I'd still keep it.  There's a huge file cabinet in one corner.  I'm not even sure what's in it, but I eel like it's things that can be either gotten rid of or at least just stored in boxes.  Theres no place to put it where it's actually useful - and it's ugly!!  I'd really like to just get rid of it.  I *think* if I move that out, and rearrange some storage boxes, I can put a table in that corner (that is currently also in the way).  And the doll house could sit on the table.

Before I can get to that, I lot has to be done.  There are 2 plastic drawer cabinets that need better homes.  There are some out-of-date supply boxes that I need to get rid of; and that would free up mor shelf space.

I have to go in the room and work around the perimeter, deciding what has to go - and where.  What a challenge!  

I made progress on the sewing project over the weekend; but I fear I'm soon to another stopping point.  I'm nearly out of bobbins again.

Since I didn't finish and post on Monday, I'm adding to this on Tuesday morning.  I got a bit more done in the guest room.  I pulled out all the donation stuff and put by the dining room door - today I will put it in the car.  There was some empty space in the top of the closet, so I rearranged some things to make better use of that space.  I ended up getting all the junk off the sofa, which was a good accomplishment.  I'm pretty much down to having to move bigger things.  

I will try to post a progress report later in the week.
