Projects

I got home late from work today and had the sudden urge to start about 47 projects in my house that I had been planning to do for ages. It always happens this way for me. I am most productive after 8pm. It's just how I roll. I can work like a horse from 8pm - midnight and be more productive than most people are all day.

The only problem is when I get like this I have no focus. I decided to do many things simultaneous. I'm like a kid with ADD on speed.

I started to rearrange my dressing room. I moved a bookshelf which led to moving the couch which meant I had to move the dresser. But I didn't like the way the spare mattress was (I had hidden it behind the couch) so I took it downstairs.

When I got downstairs I looked through some boxes. Then, I remembered a box of material in the garage and started looking for material to suit another project I've been working on plans for all week. Then I stapled four pieces of plastic (non-slip doormats) to the front steps. Then I decided I needed to store things. In boxes! I grabbed a couple of plastic bins from the garage and decided they were too ugly to leave out on their own. Thus, yet another project was born.

I took some of the material I had found and started winding it through the baskets. Since it was the only project I actually finished tonight, I thought I would show you.

You can see Madison sidling up for a closer look. She couldn't figure out what I was doing.

And here are the final versions. The picture is really dark. I have no idea why. I plan to use these baskets for all my sewing supplies. The shelf below will hold my machine and some books. It should be pretty handy.

Of course, I will likely finish that project sometime in 2045. I will let you know how it goes.



I am participating in NaBloPoMo. But, I am cheating. This post is after midnight so it counts as a post from Monday. So, I can go all Monday and not have to be responsible for a single other post. Ha!!! I outwitted you!!!
