Current Mood : Falling over tired
Got all the new fabric cheap-serged, and it's in the wash. Last load. Whew. I swear, we generate a load a day, and sometimes, I recycle clothes if I haven't worn them all day. Also put in three hours in Dearest Son's room, generating two Mal-Wart sacks of small-toy donations and three bags of trash. And I'm still not done. This was mostly getting stuff off the floor, and enabling part of the carpet to be seen, and walked without risking an ankle or shin. I haven't gone through any of the toy boxes or touched the closet yet. I'm saving some of the fun for later !
So today was pretty busy. Didn't get to any sewing, and the rain made it kinda hard to do much besides sit and work from there. All the dampness makes it hard for me to breathe sometimes. Got the socks sorted and stored while waiting for the bus, and ran out of day before I got to the dishes. But at least the place is looking habitable. Still cluttery with cobwebs, but no longer a health hazard.
Sorry the entries have been more like a SqualorSurvivors.com recovery page and less like Yard Sale Doll Haven, but it's what's been going on, and maybe this helps someone else. It's kind of embarrassing how much just a bit of effort gets done, and how many times I've had to relearn that, but it's true. Fifteen minutes of doing dishes every other day is certainly better than two to three hours ! And the kitchen doesn't smell nearly as bad, and my attitude is much better, when I don't feel like I have to make sure no one sees how badly trashed the living room is.
Anyway, in an effort to bring at least some doll content in here, let me share a find from CraftBlog.com - this crafter made a dress from Barbie skirts ! Also some Barbie hair and a couple of heads. It's pretty cool, I think !
