Ah...much better now

After a full day of cleaning, sorting and de-cluttering I have a work space back! I feel relived!
I went to Home Goods and found a 3 tier shelf with a little drawer to fit beside my work desk.

Now a lot of what was on my work desk is now on this shelf, right next to me- still handy but out of the way. I also put loose items in pretty boxes on the shelves to add hide more clutter.
I feel like creating something again...how nice!

After: Ah...

I also now have a bag of give-away items. My friend is a teacher and I'll be giving the items to her class. I am glad they will be used. Sometimes we artists buy things that we just never use. Now I don't feel like the money was wasted knowing that they will be used by local school kids.

organizational skills

Or maybe it is more like...I can't find one matching sheet or towel set anymore...

A part of me is saying "don't you dare post these pictures"...but the the less sane side of the grey matter won out.

So...

Behold the mess...

And for your amusement, a close up (I cannot believe I am actually doing this).

Notice that the sheets and towels are in complete disarray...

No artmaking for me today...NO-SIR-EE! I got obsessed with cleaning out my linen closet. All week long it's been like this- obsessively organizing and cleaning. I figured that I would go with the urge, as it doesn't strike me often...

and now...(drum roll)... my clean linen closet, with matching sheets and towels.

ahhh.... :-)
