saturday

I got up early as I really need to do some housework.

This is what happens when I sew for the day. Yep, I know that was Thursday.

Well it looks like I kept sewing Friday all day too, okay!

Maybe I should start with the bedroom.

I still havent got control of the market chaos in the studio since last weekend.

My sixteen year old has been re-building his skateboard on his bed.

Ive been ignoring the dishes all day.

This stuff belongs somewhere else

But ive just finished these right then, yay 

while making five teenagers banana pancakes and blogging about my morning!

Happy Saturday y'all!



a tidy room

Okay, so youll have to forgive me for posting a bit too much about home lately.

I have a secret. Ive been keeping something from you all. I spent this morning spring cleaning my bedroom because yesterday was Attack The Clothes Monday.

 .

If you dont understand what im getting at you need to check out Samantha's blog, An Organised Mum.

 She has great new tips on some really hard core home organising issues. I thought I was doing okay, fumbling along from day to day, until I decided to try her way of tackling things. Im loving it! Yesterday I found myself folding the washing and enjoying it. All twelve loads that had been thrown on the bedroom floor, and they had sat there and been added to for over a week. Oh... the shame.... 

 Yesterday I wasnt overwhelmed or distracted. I just plodded along and got it done. Okay, ill admit it took me two movies to complete. But today I can show off my bedroom and be proud of what I achieved.
