So, when my parents came this weekend, we took off in both vehicles and filled them full a few times...now all that's left there is my leather sofa (that has a little bit of damage from being stored), my bedroom furniture (bed head and foot pieces, metal rails, 2 nightstands, dresser and chest), and two bar stools plus two large boxes that for the life of us we couldn't fit into that last run of stuff. Then, everything will be here under one roof which will make me oh-so-happy.
The problem with being an artistic person is the fact that you accumulate ALOT of things. I've painted, made jewelry (to display my art), made artistic cards, made collages, sewed, etc...which means I have tons of things. Plus lots of glassware, wood pieces, etc in which to paint on. Some of those things were already painted in a toll style fashion which I was doing alot of back in 2008 and 2009 like this one:
So, as I've started going through these things, I've found so much more work that I need to do. It's overwhelming and the house is full of boxes, here's my view from the hallway into the living room:
hey you don't have the storage unit bill any more .. and you can have a yard sale or - find a consignment shop to sell some items .
ReplyDeletedoes it feel like Christmas or what?
ReplyDeleteyou will get there, take it little by little.
and have fun rediscovering your things.
It all takes time...step by step, day by day. You'll get it all done! I'm with wreath witch on this one - YARD SALE!! :) Or maybe find a craft fair coming up (I know we tend to have a lot of those in the fall here in Texas). Maybe sell supplies in yard sale and finished projects that just aren't YOU anymore in some sort of a craft fair...Just brainstorming...LOL
ReplyDeletelol we all think on the same wavelength I think! I'm planning a yard sale for next week, if I can get everything gone through in time, though I admit it might take me a little longer as everything is so consuming right now. Yes, though I really want to do that. And, Beck, yes it does. There were a couple things I had gotten at some point and found already that will be perfect in this house. I can't wait until I'm doing fun decorative things to the house versus the other stuff I'm having to do right now but everything makes such a nice change and difference in here. Slowly but surely it's all coming together :)
