The Cleanest Corner in the Whole Darned Building!

Truthfully, although there are some valid ‘excuses’ since I was heavily involved with getting my last 2 books launched into the world during all of those six months, I could have begun this process long before now.

I’m being very brave and posting photos so you can see what I am up against!

The Sea of STUFF to Sort Through!

Daunting — it was seriously, hyperventilatingly daunting to walk inside of that 54 square meter/580 square feet all-one-room building and see boxes stacked half-way up to the ceiling in places and opened boxes that had been partially unpacked and then shoved aside.

Many was the time that I had walked in there, taken a look around, and walked straight back out because i didn’t even know where to begin! Then I’d share that sensation with Mark and he would nod his head with widened eyes and say, “I know!”

So while Mark finishes the new diningroom/study addition on the back of the cottage, I have begun to take nibbles from the gargantuan task of sorting out and deciding what to keep, what to donate, what to give away to friends, and what to sell on ebay. I’m definitely in a less-is-more frame of mind because I feel that if I haven’t had any pressing need for those things over the last 3 years, I have probably forgotten well over half of what is in there and those items, for the most part, can now safely be ‘re-homed’ elsewhere.

Off to the studio to get dusty for awhile!
