Shine Your Sink

 

Do you know The Fly Lady?    She says "Every night before you go to bed, shine your sink."  Meaning, tidy up the kitchen.

She's been around for quite a long time.  I discovered her more than 10 years ago.  Her whole idea for gaining order in your home is "start somewhere & work from there."  

This time it started for me when I had the new lights put up in the sewing studio. HERE    I had to move everything out for the lighting guy. As I moved everything back in I cleaned, weeded and put away. 

It was great motivation as I had let things go... moving around the house to the...kitchen... office...living room....bedroom, etc.  And I did not skip the baseboards!  (Who knew there could be so much dust on such a tiny ledge!)

My whole house is in order, even the garage and potting shed!  Is this what they mean by "Spring Cleaning?"  I just  need a plan for continuing the process.  The Fly Lady has some interesting helps on her website. HERE

Plus, FINALLY found a desk that is perfect for sewing!  Just the right height, sturdy and it does not shake and bounce when I sew fast! (And as you can see, Millie is back!)  Purchased from FB Marketplace AND they delivered!

 And, now all is right with the world and I'm ready for the week!

Happy Play Your Ukulele Naked day!

Fall Cleaning

September is wizzing by....I have not posted in a couple weeks.... life got busy with the fall:
*School started (important to my 9-year-old grandson)
*Went on a business trip
*Caught a Cold

And now here it is mid-September.  So, today I'm cleaning up my sewing room.  (It is very dusty in Southern Calif.)

Does this happen to you?  You end up with piles of "stuff" everywhere in your sewing room?  Me, too.

I googled "messy sewing room"  Here is one... want to feel better about your messy sewing room?


Ha Ha.... I feel better already.  Pride goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18) and truth be told, mine is running a close second.






All this STUFF!  So, today I will clean up.  Years ago I read something about de-cluttering on FlyLady.net  Something about getting rid of at least 5 items .... Ok, I can do that!



 I'll check in with you later....






...probably tomorrow.... :-)
