July 2013: Cleaning the House, July 31, 2013

As it's the last night, it was hard to know where to go.  There's still so much that needs to be done.  Alas, rather than a dramatic ending, it kinda falls flat.  (If I wanted to show dramatic, I'd show the before and after of the table.  Sadly, that would be a reverse, since the table is now filled with things that need to go elsewhere in the house.)

Here's the small shelves in the sewing room, the left side.  The top two were done yesterday, but the other three visible ones were worked on today--perhaps not as in-depth as I'd like, but at least something was done with them.

I didn't even move the chair to get a picture.  I started to clean around the chair, but realized that was useless, and moved it.  I have moved it back where it belongs, though.

I've removed a lot of fabric that was just sitting piled on top of things.  You'll notice that I've added some plaid fabric to the upper left cube, but that fabric belongs with the patterns and other fabrics there: the fabrics there are to sew shirts (some of it practice fabric), and this is fabric I would like a shirt out of.  I'm not entirely sure what style, since a plain plaid shirt would not be thisisbeth's style at all, but the colors are pretty much like something I'd wear.  Anyone have any ideas?  I don't, so I'll move onto the right side of the bookshelf.

I hope you can handle the drama of the after picture...

Ta-da!  Look, you can't see inside the boxes.  The beigy colored box on the bottom left actually was full of all sorts of random stuff, as were some of the shoe boxes in the upper right.  Those now only have things that belong in the sewing room, and all the stuff that belongs in the den or the family room are in a pile on the table ready to go downstairs.  So, really, the drama is missing.  However, one positive thing is that many years ago I bought a kit to make these tote bags out of some purple floral fabrics.  The bags were just gorgeous.  However, I started the bags, and the pieces got all separated.  Now, however, the pieces are all together.  Now, when I actually find the pattern again, I can actually finish them!  Of course the pattern wasn't with either of the two parts!  What sort of logic would that be?!
