    Default I am Switching over for a while

    I am in the painting mood and I will not be quilting for a while. I need a break from all the sewing. I will still read the board and will make a mug rug here and there and if the mood strikes, make something small. I have been in a cleaning and de-junking fit.

    Both hubby and I have going from room to room, mainly my junk lol and pulling out stuff. Two totally loaded cars have already gone to the Goodwill. I got rid of furniture and bunches of craft supplies. It feels so good.

    Hopefully you will get your house in order real fast and get back to quilting. My fits of decluttering doesn't last long. My energy level isn't as high as it use to be. I got rid of most of my non quilting supplies when our oldest Granddaughter moved in with us. That was eight years ago and she moved out this past March. I really miss her but I took her room for a much larger sewing room.
    I don't miss the stuff I donated. I just plan on my quilts with the time I have left here.

    Hopefully you will check in and keep us posted on what wonderful things you are doing even if it isn't sewing! I know what you mean about decluttering - cleaned under the bathroom sink today - threw away two grocery bags worth of junk! How does it accumulate so fast?

    Doesn't it feel great? I have been mega cleaning room by room. Now all my walls are dusted, baseboards clean, windows and screens clean and curtains washed- still have a pair of valances and the bedroom curtains to iron, poo. I maybe the only one to notice, but it sure does feel good. After washing all the baseboards and dusting I know I have a lot of painting to do this winter - in between quilting. My walk-in closet needs a mega cleaning so that's when I go to Goodwill! That's not going to happen until next week, my sisters are coming up from Louisville today and we need to travel to all the quilt stores we can before they go back Sat!

    Oh have loads of fun with that. I keep telling myself to get back to doing some painting but can't seem to do it. Cleaning house does help give one more "room" to do things. Good for you!!
