Kim's Weekend list

Subject: Kim's Weekend list Sat Jan 20, 2007 3:01 pm

My head is just swimming with ideas this morning. I am inspired to make a list for the year of both books I want to read and projects I want to sew/craft. I think with a plan and some dealines, I'll get more of both accomplished. So I need to explore both my pattern boxes and the bookshelves to make these lists.

Also, I have had a revelation in the last few days. You know how we design spaces to meet our needs and then those needs change? For instance, I used to use my dryer as a changing station and the shelves above held all baby stuff. Well, when my last one abandoned diapers, I got to reclaim the space and had to really think about how to use it.

Well, I am at that point again. My upstairs playroom/sewing room/ school room is huge and subdivided into parts by function. When I had toddlers and babies, I had one side fashioned into a regular preschool classroom. I have long low shelves with toys, dressup area, art station, etc. But now my littlest one doesn't use that space much and he is doing school with us most of the time. Many of the toys are neglected and the shelves are a mess of unused "stuff". Meanwhile, my evergrowing fabric collection is all over the place. I think you see where I'm going. Today I plan to completely rearrange the area, using most of the shelf space for fabric and tossing the toys they don't play with. He keeps his stuff downstairs where he plays mostly now anyway.

Anyway, that is a huge project so it may not be complete this weekend but I'll let you know.

And my trip to the antique store yielded several treasures I want to share. It's a long rainy day so pictures won't be great but I can't wait. Dh wants to go to a movie this afternoon so I may get a date as well. It's a banner day!

Sounds like you've got a busy weekend ahead of you! I find it useful to make lists too, it helps me focus on what I actually want to be doing rather than using energy on pointless tasks!

The problem I have is that I spend so much time making lists and organizing those that it becomes a form of procrastination! Horrible habit of mine!! Hope you had lots of success with your lists!
