I went through all of my sewing patterns and books. Extreme job! (Took three days!) I started a donation box for the assistance league and began to go though my closets with the linen closet to do the same. I had a little more time so I re-upholstered my breakfast bar stools and my french ice-cream shop style make up stool in a brown velour upholstery fabric that is a great neutral in a room.
I guess I need to just clean one of the bathrooms and vacuum today so I can sew. I am tired of straightening already.

Thats exactly what everyone does with "a little more time"---reupholster bar stools! Lol ! Good for you.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]540288[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]540289[/ATTACH]Left side is before, right side is after. Not much difference yet, but 15-30 minutes a day is putting a dent in the explosion. Ok the top is before, bottom is after. Forgot that the pictures would be posted vertically

You know what they say about how to eat an elephant? One bite at a time. What's your next "bite"? I'd take the blue laundry basket to a different room where you can sort it by color onto a table. Pick out what I want to keep and donate the rest. That would be about 30 minUtes for me if I went fast, not overthinking.

Ok no more excuses! Finished the Halloween quilt for my DD and then embroidered 4 dish towels for my other daughter and her friend. So I started cleaning out a a sweater holder in the sewing room closet. It is time to let go of all my scrap flannel and my other scraps. My sister is a member of a guild up in Camano Island WA, they do a lot of donation quilts and she said they will use it. So I start packing one box, way too small, find another not big enough, decided to use both still not enough room. How do they multiply so fast? Just year or so ago I sent a lady back in GA 3 boxes.

I have been working in my "corner" today.
Here is a picture of what I have been doing. NOT all of the fabric
was folded today, but I did "shuffle it around on the shelves.
I wish I could say that this is showing a major improvement, but
sadly no it doesn't even look like I was sitting there more of the
day.
