Cleaning Makes a Mess
Aug. 12th, 2007 01:51 amIn the mad search for my Vista DVD, I emptied my closet. Once again, I know the difference between linear and cubic feet. (Ah, the first time it truly struck me: a 3' x 8' closet made a calf-deep sea of crap of a 10' x 15' room.)
Larry Dixon's thoughtful box of nine lidded tubs and various storage bags has once again proven that one should send this stuff to someone who's had a fire! I took the opportunity to get things out of bags, to organize what had been hucked willy-nilly into the tubs, and find things buried. I made the finding of contents of tubs easier by writing everything in a given tub on a sheet of paper and putting it on top, under the (clear) lid.
There's fabric, interfacing, fusible vinyl, fabrics, fat quarters, spray paints, Ikea hardware. Dolls. Plaques for sculpture bases. Shma. Mumblegrunny. Kipple. My room is still a mess.
But the closet looks great.
New page of RG: RLO on Monday. Thank goodness! I want to get to the parts where the beatings ensue.
