We haven't decorated in several years, and I'm OK with that.
I'm tired of being the one to do all the decorating and then the one to put it all away. I've left out a wreath to put on the door. So that tub and box need to be packed away in the storage area under the stairs. One empty tub, one tub, and one box of Christmas decorations This is how it's going to stay for the moment. I'm sure there is stuff that could go, but I decided going from SIX tubs to one was pretty significant. OH - and I have one ornament box, as well. It's primarily ornaments for the tree (we no longer have one), and some things made by me or by M. I have ONE giant tub of Christmas stuff left. I now have three boxes of Christmas decorations that I NEED to donate today so they can get rid of them this Christmas. But my living room is almost back to a living room with NOTHING extra in it. I'll take a picture today after the dust is cleared from the corner. OK - THOSE areas since the quilts are everywhere!īut I also had a few minutes, and I cleaned up the corner of the living room. Let's just say that there's a LOT more work to do to get that area cleaned up. So I'm trying to put them back with the ones I'll least likely ever use on the bottom. It's a great place to store them UNTIL you need the one on the bottom. I had to move them off the guest bed a while back, and well, they never made it back, so I'm in the process of putting some of them back on the bed. My quilt collection has literally been tossed all over the house. Now I have a huge stack of quilts culled from the pack - so many were crying, "pick me!" but I only have so much time to speak! I need to go through them this morning and decide which ones actually go with me. I had to go through the quilt collection yesterday and pick out the modern quilts as that is the topic of the presentation tonight. I'm at the Stratford Quilter's Guild, but I'm unsure if they are taking guests. I do have a presentation, but it's IN-PERSON! Now, how weird is that? There's so much going on and still lots to prep and fit in some writing that I can't focus beyond the current day. I hate to say that I'm living this week from day to day, but I am.
