Reason Number 347...

....for cleaning out the nooks, crannies, and odd spaces in your home.

You find treasure!

We bought this quilt block kit and assorted fabrics last December. Yep, you read that right. December, 2008. The package got put in an odd place and then through out the year, other flotsam and debris ended up on top of it. Shortly before Christmas, I got a burr under my saddle about tidying up the master bedroom. And there it was...just waiting for me.

Now, at least, I know what my next quilting project will be. These little sunflowers will look great in either my kitchen or my studio.

Dissonance

I saw an interesting quote in a decorating article today.

“I’m pretty sensitive aesthetically, and it does something for me when I look at a pretty room,” Ms. C said. “Looking at what the room used to be was the visual equivalent of listening to Bach or Mozart. Now it’s the visual equivalent of listening to Barney.”

This explains to me why my house is driving me crazy. Maybe I'm having trouble writing because my writing areas are cluttered and un-inspiring. Like static on the radio, the vibe is interfering with my creativity.

With that in mind, I've plunged into a massive reorganization of our master bedroom. If all goes well there, I'll attack another area. Hopefully, by the end of the week there will be sweet visual peace in various sections of the house.

Pray a falling stack of 'stuff' doesn't fall on me. (wink,wink) If I'm victorious, I'll post photos.
