First Things First

After the hullabaloo of the holidays -- stocking my etsy shop, vending local craft markets, gift making, visiting/hosting, cookingcookingcooking -- I am more than ready for some downtime and dying to crack into the yarn I bought myself for Christmas...

... but, priorities. Even though I threw my hands up over the throw pillows (there *must* be a trick to nice fiber stuffing) mid-week, I cannot bring myself to start a new project until This Present Clutter is addressed and it will not be put off until we can get something going in the garage -- I'll go mad! My temporary fix is to commandeer the living room.



Problem being, the living room, since we began renovation, has been a holding cell for the more oft used tools, lengths of trim, drywall schwack, paint, and a catchall for recently packed things which will not fit into our half of the [local rented storage space]. But, before I can banish all of the whatnot, I will have to exorcise the garage.

Priests!
