I have a book in one of my bookcases called "One Thing Leads to Another"...all about just what you went through...that one project leads to, at least, one more....hang in there, enjoy your wine...and happy rearranging!!

I didn't think it was the best thing to have 100+ lbs of old TV sitting on, so I looked and looked for a TV stand that would support its weight.
Do you know they don't sell that type of TV stand anymore? Blah! So, garage sale after garage sale, I finally found one! 6 hours away from my home, while on vacation, I found a really nice one for $5. YAY! I was so excited.
Today, I took on the project of moving all the furniture and rearranging everything to accommodate my growing children. Thing is, their toy room used to be my sewing room. I downsized by 50% when I gave them that room. I didn't realize how much of my stuff I had left in there. Now, I can't even walk through my sewing room. That's really bad because it is the main artery of our basement.
Urgh! The toy room looks great! But, now to finish the real chore. I need to get my sewing room operable again, and quick. I have to start and finish a new quilt within 2 weeks for a friend!
Now that I have vented, I will be drinking my glass of Daffodil Wine and getting back to work. My DH will be home at 8:30. I'm hoping to have it figured out by then.

Good luck honey, it's sort of Murphy's Law gone bad, clean one space, destroy another until you keep cleaning and destroying, until there's nothing left to destroy. I'm still on the path of destruction. But good luck to you, I think I'm a lost cause.

Funny how that goes, I lost my sewing room when my son grew out of the room he had so we needed to move him into the biggest room, which of course was my sewing room. I ended up spread out all over the house - guest room, family room, living room. Then he moved out and I moved back into that room in record time. Only thing is, it's lonely back there, I wish I were back in the family room!

I did that 2 1/2 yrs ago. redid the hardwood floors and that meant move everything out so I got rid of spare bedroom and turned it into sewingroom and my old sewing room is my office still have material in here because I have it in filing cabinets. Now my sewing room has gotten messed up because I have been using it but I will get it straighten up when I make up mind to get it done. When you can't find things then it is time to work on it
