Perhaps a chat is in order so that you can work together, not against each other. I knw that I want to fill those empty spaces but my goal is to clear the table and then at least bask in that glory for a day or two. Good luck!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654762599199404214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-37635085066829649722022-06-07T06:31:51.243-04:002022-06-07T06:31:51.243-04:00Peg --- yes -- I did invade your brain! And why or...Peg --- yes -- I did invade your brain! And why or why did we buy so much stuff and think we WOULD be able to do it all. I've no idea, but thankfully I've nipped that notion in the bud. Thanks for the tip on the mini-vac. I need to wind new bobbins this week so I'll use it to clean out the machine and that's likely where it'll stay. Good luck with your clearing out and I'll be thinking of you as I continue my journey!!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654762599199404214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-47256961405818755862022-06-07T06:29:46.572-04:002022-06-07T06:29:46.572-04:00Elle --- you are so right about the "found ti...Elle --- you are so right about the "found time". The pandemic has made me much more aware of how I spend my time and how I want my living space to be. It's still overwhelming, including all the little tasks that need to be done, but one step at a time. We will get this done!!

However, my dear hubby (DH) is not making it easy. Any space I clear is covered with his stuff within 24 hours. I have been holding off on complaining about his stuff until I get my own things under some sort of control; but now it just looks like nothing has been done.Beth Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548047186129337972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-326986002819097572022-06-06T09:36:00.114-04:002022-06-06T09:36:00.114-04:00OMG, did you invade my brain??? I have been doing...OMG, did you invade my brain??? I have been doing the exact same thing. One area at a time. I recently discovered our regional recycle site, checked it out and will drive in tomorrow with y car filled. Oh the fabrics and tools I am donating. Did I ever think I would use it all?<br />**Anyway, that small vacuum, I keep in my sewing supplies, just a small tote bag and take it with me to quilting. Comes in handy for a quick clean up of my machine when changing out after 2-3 bobbins. I have the biggie at home near my larger machine. Good luck on the clearing out, and know I amright there with you.<br /><br />Peg Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739103782415860528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-47872769382647838792022-06-04T09:49:37.406-04:002022-06-04T09:49:37.406-04:00You've got this!

The best thing about "the big cleanup", is that along the way you have not added to it but managed the things as they arrive. You've come a long way since "the big shutdown" put your entire work life in your home. So much 'found time' that used to be in your car. <br /><br />Happy Saturday!!!!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918153566288679035noreply@blogger.com
