Do you ever feel like the walls are closing in around you?
Like you just keep tripping over yourself and everything else?
Feeling overwhelmed?
Lately everything feels a little bit tighter. My work space, the house, MY PANTS. It is winter and we are filling up on all that rich comfort food. Last night my master chef (my husband-Matt) slow cooked a magnificent lamb stew follow by Pears poached in Red Wine and served with custard and fresh cream. Yum yum! Do I need to say anymore about the pants?
The house? Well as I said, it is winter and we are all inside, ALL THE TIME. We have just finished 2 glorious weeks of school holidays in which we all stayed home and made a lot of mess. The great news is 2 out of 3 kids cleaned their room over the weekend!

My work space... hmm lets just say I have been too busy creating to be cleaning, and things just seem to be all over the place. Above is a little pick of the cleaning IN PROGRESS. Now you know where I spend my waking hours.
I was inspired by my friends at Squirt Baby and Cottage Nerd, who have both mentioned recently the impulse to rationalise their space. The question was raised ‘How small does a fabric remnant have to be before you can bring yourself to throw it out?” Cottage Nerd said “Oh... No, you could cover a button with that” Tragic, but true, everything has a use. But are you going to use it?
If you haven't touched it in lets say hmm..... a year, through it out! That is unless you can really really can justify keeping it, because it really ..really .. is too good to throw. And ....well it just might come in handy.

LOVE pears poached in red wine!
ReplyDeleteGlad we were able to inspire you in some way. *g* I have a little mantra at the moment - if it's still useful, but not being used by us, pass it on to someone else. It certainly doesn't come naturally, but it's become a necessity. Good luck with it all!
