Thankful

Have you ever felt like a hamster in a wheel? Spinning and spinning but not going anywhere. I started to become slightly overwhelmed yesterday when I began cleaning up my sewing area.

You can see why ... the task at hand is ... large.

Stuff - everywhere.

And then it hit me. I am so fortunate. So thankful. Not for the material things, but for the space I have to do what I love - sew (and blog - hehe). I began either throwing things away or putting it away. I didn't get too far but that's ok - baby steps as the FlyLady likes to say (you'll see my fly-duster in one of the pictures - ha!)


I am thankful that DH, despite having to step over-walk around-keep his eye open for falling objects every evening when he comes home doesn't complain.


I am thankful that I have a space that can accommodate me and my stuff.

I am thankful for my new el-cheapo bookcase that DH put together with minimal teasing (and willingness to assemble the second one). (He's no fool - anything to 'help' me get organized).

I am thankful for the blinds on the windows since I haven't finished the curtains for this room :) You will see one window undressed ... I took that curtain down to hang the one I made only to find it didn't fit.

I am thankful that the general population doesn't see this room when they come to our house!

I am thankful that I get to paint this room (if the painter ever calls me back).

I am thankful that I will be forced to clean up for the painter :)

I am thankful for you all who read and comment ... little did you know I was operating out of a den of chaos!

But most importantly and, completely unrelated - I am thankful because my sweet-loving-energetic-want-to-please-wears-his-heart-on-his sleeve-little-boy is turning 4 today.

Happy Birthday Henry.
