Organizing, photoshoots and hopefully I’ll get to sew today
Yesterday and today, I’m helping my son tackle his room (organize, sort and pitch). I think he’s finally out growing his Rescue Heros things. He of his own free will put them in the give away bin.
Done:
- 3 of 4 drawers under bed (for toys)
- toy cubbies
- sorted through all the little collectable/buildable card pieces
Yet to do
- Art supply drawer
- Book shelf
- closet cubbies
- Outside toy bin (I’m kicking this stuff out to the garage.)
I’m also slowly dealing with the kitchen (trying to work the schedule at “I’m an Organizing Junkie“. For the most part it wasn’t too bad. But there were a few problem areas.
Done:
- Swap dishes and pantry cupboard contents. So dishes next to dishwasher and food by stove.
- Clean off the top of the rolling cart. Give that space to griddle. Take griddle out of pans cupboard – it takes up way too much space. Organize pans cupboard.

Before
After (perhaps I need to re-contact paper this cupboard?)
- (craft area) Cleaned out the mess under the far wall counter top. (Will keep this more open to reduce mold.)
- (craft area) Organized sewing supplies (formerly all on counter top) and embroidery. Packed up tablet weaving and dye supplies, I don’t use them as often but am unwilling to get rid of them.
Yet to do:
- (kitchen) Flour/sugar/etc. cupboard
- (kitchen) Tupperware cupboard (/groan) – I think I can help my sanity in this one by putting in large bins to “toss” the tupperware in. Easier in theory to put away and keep “organized”.
- (craft area) Spinning cupboard
- (craft area) misc crafts cupboard
Have been labeling most everything with the labeler I invested in last week. Fun little tool. One purpose, but many uses in my home.

Have one more photo to edit for the last photoshoot I did for a friend. Then I just need to resize them tomorrow and I’ll be done! (Happy dance!) I learned from this experience to have a spray/spritz bottle in my “studio” so that winter wild hair can be tamed before I have to edit it. I can edit staticy hair – but want to minimize it. Will be a taking a break from photo shoots for a while now, so I don’t burn out. One of the edited shots:
Finally got to order a bit of fabric from Sew Mama Sew. Think I will make a bag from it. Thought of sharing the fabric with my daughter. I’m too greedy. MY FABRIC!
