Cupboard cleaning...how cathartic! Looks so fresh, now. Hope no more little critters show up. I haven't had the pleasure of such visitors since we built our new house 11 years ago...but let me tell you about the ones I've caught over the years in the old farm house!

The only piece of cornflower corning I have left is a pie plate...originally had 2. I liked the small square ones for leftovers...great to put in the microwave.

At work today, a friend dropped off a big bag of waste triangles...I mean lots of small triangles...mostly in red and creams..will be great for my mini making...sorted them out a bit into piles...looks like I've got 3 reds and 3 creams to play with.

Battle Axe, I certainly could use an Amish neighbor in my neck of the woods. LOL Your cabinets look great!. We have been overrun with mice this fall...we’ve trapped more than 50 (mostly in our basement) and 10 flying squirrels in our attic. We own a late 1700’s home on over 4 acres and we only live here in the winter...so the critters had the house to themselves all summer until we moved back in mid October. I have cleaned every nook and cranny possible.

Battleaxe! glad you found someone to help with the reorganizing- sounds like you are making great progress.

I’m trying to sew my way through some scraps by making scarves- they’re fun to do. I want to reorganize the pantry cabinet- the whole top shelf is filled with things that got put up there four years ago and haven’t been used since. And I am also seeing signs that a mouse has been exploring options for winter housing in my kitchen. It really hurts my heart to kill the little critters but I know I’ll have to get out the traps...

Rob, just checking in to see if you're feeling better. I hope so!

I'm organizing the closet where I keep my play clothes and my holiday decorations. I bought three new big plastic bins to aid in this effort. I can't wait to get home from work to get started.

Way to go, Battle Axe! The cabinets look great! Enjoy them and the new organization in the office!

Thanks, SusieQOH. I’m still not 100%, but am doing much better. Tests showed that my gall bladder is not working as is most likely the cause of the pain, so it’s coming out on Jan. 4. Until then I’m trying to be careful about what I eat- do not want to set off another attack!

Rob, glad to hear they know what is going on. You will feel so much better when they remove it. And I'm glad you're feeling better.

Today I am going to spend some time reclaiming the work surfaces in my office- they have somehow gotten completely buried under a layer of papers, books l have listed on eBay, books I am planning to list on eBay, info on quilt shows I plan to enter, various bits of mail that I couldn’t decide what to do with, etc. And I am going to look for something to donate, sell or trash- it shouldn’t be difficult

After that I’m going to write a quilting/gift making/project to do list with task goals for each. I’m hoping that putting this info on paper rather than trying to keep it in my head will help me make decisions and actually get moving on some projects that have been stalled due to the pinball brain I get every time I look at everything that is in progress in my studio right now.
