Chaos no more

Ok, so Spring Cleaning is not the satisfying, cathartic experience I expected it to be. It sucks. Honestly, have you ever tried to wipe down your back door? The damn thing is filthy! Anyway, I did succeed with taming the craft corner, as well as many other junk filled nooks of my house (that means you tupperware container cupboard!). As you can see the craft corner is looking much more streamlined...



I did encounter a few hiccups along the way though, such as this yarn monster that practically attacked me from the depths of the yarn drawer.



So I started untangling it, and then we sort of made friends, and then I got the idea that I could stitch a tiny business card holder for my Moo mini cards (look how cute they are!) and that's about where the sidetracking commenced.



In other news, Scotland trip is almost upon us (well, me) and I have created a blog especially for it. To keep up to date on Stitchybritt news for the next month check Wee Whiskey Woman. Expect there to be cuddles with hairy coos, questions as to the origin of haggis and the odd dram of whiskey too : )

Can't put it off much longer

Yes yes yes... guess what's finished? Amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. Can't wait to wear it. Probably most of all because I'll be wearing it in Scotland. Yippee!

But, unfortunately, finishing one task means time to tackle another. And this one aint a pretty one. Yes that's right, it's been Spring for one month and three weeks here in Melbourne, and I am yet to do an ounce of Spring cleaning. This good virgo girl did manage to write a list of things that needed cleaning, but it didn't get much further than that. And this is where it starts... the craft corner.



Oh dear. No, I didn't style it to look like that. Yes, it does look a bit top heavy. Yes, that is my fabric stash looking like it's trying to crawl it's way out from the bottom of the drawers. And then there's my desk...



And no, I didn't style it to look like that either. It's just my natural flair for complete chaos shining through. This weekend though, it will be mess no more. That's a promise.
