Operation Craft Studio

Over a year ago S and I decided to move our bed to the "guest bedroom" on the other side of our house and turn the larger "master bedroom" into a sewing and craft room. We opted to leave our closets intact and therefore we had one sleeping room, and the other room to dress, craft and take care of laundry.

Well, the laundry has taken over! For the past few months (read: while working way to much) the craft table became the folding table, then it became the storage table and it got to where you couldn't even get to the dresser, so nothing got put away.

This has changed! I had all of Wednesday and a good part of Thursday off this week and all I did was clean!
(Ok, Ok, so I did a bunch of other stuff too. I spent a good long time in my Bible, I am so behind our congregation on Romans! And I finished some cooking and did a bunch of "research" on crock-pot recipes on my favorite crock-pot blog ever! Crock-Pot 365)

But I did clean A LOT! I started with the washer/dryer area. I cleaned off everything on top of the dryer like all the plastic grocery bags that I have said for a year I am going to take to recycle, and the empty dryer sheet box, and the huge clump of miss matched socks.

I ran the washer continually for that whole time washing probably 4 loads of "everyday" clothes and 2 large blankets.

I set up our laundry separator basket thing in front of the washer and filled it to capacity with towels, dirty clothes and dishrags.

I worked on the craft room by getting all the fabric together in the dresser, and all the scrapbook stuff in the scrapbook container (and now the overflow scrapbooking box), and all the thread together- oh! and all the straight pins I found in the carpet surrounding my sewing table.. and... and... and....

Then I found a SPIDER! A BIG SPIDER! and that was the end of cleaning!

Grace gave me a bunch of tips on trapping/killing/getting rid of spiders and I plan on implementing them tomorrow.

My craft room does look a whole lot better and we are enjoying our reclaimed laundry area.

I know, post without pictures are boring- but the camera battery is dead! Oh no! Will find charger in morning and plug in!
