A Fantastic Day

 Today I had my 1 1/2 hour targeted back yard sale. It was one day by appointment only.  I sold out of grab bags.  No additional discounts were necessary.  I sold a few cones and house hold items.  To make it easier on me, I will not be running around Tucson to try to get extra cash out.  I will divide it between 2 Charities, and either John or I will drop it off.  The house already seems emptier without the yarn grab bags.  

This is so freeing to get useful clutter out of the house.  Yes, the items are still very useful.  No, I don’t need them anymore.  So off it goes back out into the world.  

Yes 80% of that pile is gone and off to new homes   Hooray for us!!!!!

Changes

The remodeling has brought about a lot of changes real and imaniged. Real changes included Eric's nebulalizer over heating to the point it could not be used any more. The dead nebulizer is pictured below. So I pulled the spare nebulizer out today. Yes, we keep a spare nebulizer, doesn't everyone?   I have also been throwing away old preschool and elementary school arts and crafts projects. Yes all the old and dusty relics have made it to the bin.  I  would like to point out that I really can throw things out. I will spend more time going through the rest of the shellfs tomorrow so construction in that area can begin on Monday. 

I also spent the afternoon clearing multiple craft project off the large couch.  I will try to keep project on the couch to a minimum.  Shelfs had been ordered to help organize the craft room.  We now have room to put in shellfs since the treadmill has been moved out.  Yes, I have lost a hiding place.  

The imaniged changes include a stack of yarn boxes in the garage from my last yarn stash reorganization a few years ago. Since clutter is disappearing at a good rate, they are now visible.  Please do me a favor, if you are a fellow knitter and have gotten yarn out of one of those boxes or you remember me putting them there, please let John know that they did not move in to the garage this month.  Another imaniged  change was on my part. I thought that we could not move forward with the remodel until the tv was relocated to the other side of the room. This is actually going to result in the tv being moved.  John has ordered parts.  After that happens we will need volunteers to help John move the furniture around. 

So ther you have it, the real and imaniged changes for the week. 

A Great Day

Today started out at 4 am with Eric.  The bad pat about that is that I did not have time for breakfast until after 9 am.  That lead to me over buying breakfast items.  I did not over eat them though.  On the great side before noon I managed to get the van fixed, a case of formula delivered to the  Tucson Community food bank and 2 blankets delivered to the Tucson V.A.. By 11:30 I was ready for a nap.   

On the fiber front I knit 1 scarf, spun 3 skeins of art yarn and wound 4 skeins of yarn. Washed  5 skeins of yarn. Pictures tomorrow. Then finished weaving a rag rug.  The rag rug will come off the loom tomorrow. John fixed the Louet spinning wheel with the help of Lisa's dad.  This means that I have to figure out how much I want to sell the Lendrum ST for.  I spent a lot of time restoring it. It spins very well, but I like my Lendrum DT better.  It is time to thin the heard a bit. 

I also made a baby step in de cluttering the kitchen.  The Mr. Coffee and all its filters left the house.  It is finally in the home of someone who loves coffee.  

It was a very busy and productive day.  I hope for the same tomorrow.
