The closet under the stairs in my sewing room hasn't been accessed for years. Why? Because it was so crammed with stuff - wall to wall and floor to ceiling - you couldn't get in it. Just opening the door, you risked a shower of junk raining down upon you.
My sweet and helpful DD helped me clean out that closet today. From something you couldn't get into, to something that has 2 organized stacks of quilt project boxes and room for a skinny 10-year old to lay down in between. The cardboard boxes behind the project boxes are my old Barbie collection and DH's comic book collection.
Ah - it feels good to be organized.
I didn't find as many forgotten quilt project treasures as I had hoped for, but I'm happy with the progress we were able to make.
Now to tackle the one remaining closet in my sewing room, and I know that one is only quilt fabrics, so I'm bound to unearth some treasures within.
I hope you're all having a wonderful, long, relaxing weekend.
That is totally beautiful! I mean the DD and her helping AND the visible floor. Life should give us more of these AH moments! Karmen
ReplyDeleteTwenty-eight projects?? WOW! You'd best teach the ten-year old to sew, and I'll bet she's interested if she hung in there long enough to help you hoe that closet out! LOL WTG on the organization.
ReplyDeleteThe closet looks wonderful. Good daughter!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLily is getting to be such a big girl!! Aren't we blessed to have such wonderful daughters? Good for you for getting that cupboard all cleared out so you can stash your projects in it.
ReplyDeleteLooks Great!! Lisa. I think I'm going to work on organizing a shelf or two this weekend too!! Thanks for the inspiration :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, have you two been productive! I haven't done anything worth noting. Oh ok, I finished my lame marketing class but that took little effort. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that closet looks great, room for plenty more! I think Lily looks like she's grown a foot, how do you keep that girl in long pants? Congratulations on a great reorg, hope you wrap it all up soon!
