Current Mood : Tired, but pleased.
Current Image Notes : While I didn’t change much on this part of the Great Wall O’ Cases, but there’s a lotta dangly stuff since the last time I posted a photo of it. Two more walls, coming up !
Discovered that I was, once again, avoiding the Lab due to the clutter and guilt about not even taking the dolls I bought over Spring Break out of the tote I took ‘em to Molly in. And Thursday’s lucky find Barbie case made three more since I installed the last ones, taking up limited floor space.
Well, that won’t fly. I got too much to do in there to avoid my Lab. Plus, we had an inch of snow when I woke up, and it was still snowing. I wasn’t going much of anywhere today anyway. The option was housecleaning, more online zoning, or having some fun in the Lab.
You know what won, and it sure as all heck wasn’t the dishes ! I started simply, looking for the plyers to take off the mini-notebook keychains, so I could get those pieces stored. Before long, I was moving furniture in there, so I could shuffle and redo the Great Wall o’ Cases ™ with the latest acquisitions.
What a job that was ! First, I decided to put the narrowest two – the Barbie Goes Travellin’ one and the Little Mermaid suitcase – over the window, which had been blank space. To do that, I had to move the sewing desk and take down the curtains. And get the stepladder, and find nails and cup hooks.
Once done, though, they looked natural up there. I was lucky, and they spaced well. Hung the Quick Curl Boutique (aka Shinobu’s Sewing Room) where the Travellin’ one was, and moved the DP calendar – which had been under the Mermaid case - so I could put the 70s double case I won off eBay last month in its place. Then, I took down the 50th Anniversary tote bag (‘When you look this good, nobody cares if you’re plastic’) and hung up the newest Princess one. The tote went over the doorknob to the Lab.
From there, I redid pattern storage since I had so many new ones lying around. Got Aladdin (now Jaedin) dressed, and introduced Jenny to Debbie (my favorite cousin, and the real Jenny’s sister), the brunette Battat I finally liberated from the yard sale tote bag. Also got the Interactive Cinderella out, and she’s very pretty, but needs new batteries if I want to hear her voice. It’s probably just like Isabella’s (Interactive Belle). Her hair’s still in the factory set.
All that done, so was the day. The snow had completely melted by the time I was done with the cases, so we went out for chips, but that was the big outing of the day. Fine with me – I got a lot done, and had fun !
