Christmas Cleaning

I don’t know if I can do this. I’m tired and frustrated and, well, just frustrated. Christmas Cleaning Part Two We are done for the day. I have watched and scrubbed boxes and repacked and repacked more. We moved tons of stuff and seconded handed and trashed. We have some order back but we stillContinue reading “Christmas Cleaning”

Booth Prep and Life

I am making progress with a quilt for the booth. Also have a bunch of bags to sew and figured out how to make another style of purse. Also did tons of cleaning out of Christmas items. It is going to be a long process. And emotional. Got rid of bio mother’s Christmas dishes today.Continue reading “Booth Prep and Life”

Upstairs Work

My daughter and I spent more than three hours upstairs cleaning today. I have a plan up there. Fabric is being sorted by theme and, later, will be sorted into sub categories. We trashed a bunch including a broken fan, a cross stich book marker I started 30 years ago and a ton of scrapbookContinue reading “Upstairs Work”

Five years in the cleaning

This has been five years in the cleaning. I realized, early on in therapy, I keep the couch a mess because I could keep people away. It went much deeper and involved abuse by my Grandfather but that was it. Tonight I also realized it involved my mom in that I wasn’t allowed to doContinue reading “Five years in the cleaning”

Sumo Santa

I haven’t done much unhoarding this week. I have a nasty bone bruise on a rib and not up to par with the covid shot. Really tired, mostly. With that said, I will have two quilts ready to go by Monday. It’s not unhoarding but it is getting things in order. One quilt will goContinue reading “Sumo Santa”

Joyful Healing

The living room is better and I am getting excited. The sewing room is better, too. Husband says he’ll hook up the cable tomorrow and I will finish moving in. I have mass and Sunday school tomorrow. When I get home I’ll do some catch up cleaning and then some quilting. I honestly can seeContinue reading “Joyful Healing”

Almost

I am almost moved into the sewing room. We have been moving furniture all day. An antique sewing machine is getting frequent roller miles (it has wheels). I’m too tired to even think about emotions but I am really bummed that I’m not going to finish before I go back to “work” next week. ItContinue reading “Almost”
