Snow Day! and some progress, and some randomness...
Yeah!! Another snow day tomorrow! Much sledding and cocoa drinking will be done. We are supposed to get around 14 inches. That should be just enough to snow us in for a day and not so much that we'll be stuck. perfect.
I have a confession. We have a storage unit. and I hate it. We moved from a large apartment to a very small apartment to a smallish house and so some boxes had to go into storage. Also some super cool furniture we found. Now the storage unit is a bit taxing on our finances and we are trying to go through all the stuff before the next billing cycle.
I should add here that the first move was very badly done. No planning at all, and the highlight was my sister tossing things into large garbage bags and handing them to the movers. really. it happened.
The result is that the boxes that are there are totally random things, paper, pictures, an apron, just weird stuff. In order to make the task a little more fun I thought I'd post pictures of some of the random things I find. Keep in mind, I've moved these things twice and then paid to store them.
Exhibit #1-
This is a musical mirror. It winds up on the back and plays 'Love Story'. The date on it is 1983 and I'd say that's about right. Embarrassing? Yes. But it is also very motivating to simplify and completely pair down. I don't know if there will be more of this kind of stuff, but I suspect that there is.
On the crafting front, I've finished 2 birds and made some progress in taking apart the quilt. Here are the birds with some paper whites in my kitchen window.
Aren't they cute? The red one is very popular around here, he looks like the cardinal who frequents our feeders.
And finally, keeping with cute, this little one just tired himself out playing with his house. He fell asleep on the ottoman.
I completely understand pumpkin.
That picture is precious! Just don't put it in that frame...
Should we start a purge-a-thon?
