BEHOLD! before....
and after!!!
i love the nook, but it had become something of a hot mess. the shower rod i was using as a curtain rod wouldn't stay up. i was doing a bunch of sewing in the downstairs den because i wanted to use the big table. the nook became a good spot to dump things, but not to work in.
today i spent a lot of time (four podcasts of wiretap long time, plus some this american life) moving things around, throwing things away, vacuuming and making the nook into a working space again.
it's not the greatest set up right now; i wish i had a better storage solution for my fabric, and there are still boxes of craft stuff that i should sort through. however, it's miles better than it was, and three grocery sized bags of garbage came out of this.
i dropped my stuff off at the lucky dumpster this weekend! i am officially artist #86 on the roster now. the gentleman that owns the store is wonderful, and suggested i start selling them at a higher price than i thought might sell because moving down to a lower price is easier than raising the price of a thing. which is fair and good advice. he said it might take a bit longer to find the right price, but when i do, it will the highest price, not too low. D came with me too, and he really liked the store and the owner. i came home and ordered some fancy woven labels to mark my stuff with, and felt good about myself.

Nice work!
Our current place has become crazy cluttered. Like, every room. But that's because we went from the balance of two occupants to three last year. When we get back from our trip we will begin the arduous tasks of purging and packing, in preparation for our big move in May.
Whoa, too much alliteration.
