Farewell to Crap

 

Current Mood : Relieved - DC is back home ! 

 

Busy day, even though I didn't really do much. It took some shuffling, but I got the repro radio placed and plugged in. It didn't look right where I originally had it, and it took a while to get it where it looked good and had an outlet. But it's done, and I get great reception in there ! 

 

Getting that done made me wonder about Brody. I haven't embroidered anything in weeks, and hadn't even plugged him in on the new desk yet. I really didn't know if he had enough room for the embroidery carriage/deck to move, but for some reason, I was really nervous about trying. I mean, if he didn't work on the new desk...

 

Turned out to be another of my useless worries. Brody's just fine on the desk ! True, I worked a smaller design, but I had the ‘adjust' menu run through the four-by-four window, and the hoop didn't bump anything, so it should be fine.

 

And now I know that the doll-size Rebel Alliance logo only takes about five minutes to stitch out ! Yup, I did that one, and hope to turn it into a Leia shirt this week. I may have to resize the design, since the one I stitched today looks almost too big for Barbie-scale clothes. I'll print out a semi-fitted blouse for Leia in Doll Shop Deluxe, see if I can get it to work.

 

Helped Dearest Son clean out his closet and store toys in his new cabinet. The one that used to be in my Lab. He really likes it, and I am sooo happy we can Dumpster the broken dresser. The drawer set that was a nightstand in our bedroom now holds his socks and such, and needed the closet space I helped clear out. Later this week, we're going through the toy boxes for a deep cleaning.

 

I'm hoping to dump all the donations off tomorrow. So there's the final picture ! One mega-bag of fabric, a big bag of props, a sack of fabric scraps, and seven more bags of misc. - everything from posters to park benches. I just hope GoodWill will take it all.

Wow that's a lot of stuff.  I know you will feel good once it's all donated.  And just think of the people you will make happy when they buy your donations later.  Maybe someone will find that scrap of fabric they have been looking for forever.  :-)

Wow! I mean, really, what else can I say, lol. You must feel like you have so much more space now, with all of this on it's way out. Good for you! Hopefully my out box with look something like that soon. But on the other hand, I wish someone around here would donate a haul like that, lol!
