May 1st….Let the Cleaning Begin

By 8:30 this morning I was in the studio to begin the GREAT CLEANING.  I walked in and ………..  froze.  What a big job lay before me.


I had already decided that the first task was to find the cutting table.










But looking at it I wasn’t sure it could be done in only one day.









Every square inch was covered with the debris of projects that have been completed, are still in the works, and/or are being looked at for future works.

One of the things I had decided was that I needed to find places for everything that I was going to keep so it wasn’t just cleaning but also organizing. 









I worked, took short breaks, went out for lunch and worked some more and finally…..




I finished with this.  I knew I would need this space open so that I can use it for sorting and organizing of all the junk stuff I will be going through the rest of the week.  However, I do plan on this table looking like this at the end of each day




I finished around 5 and then spent a little time sewing the binding on Henrietta.  I didn’t get it quite finished because DH called me to dinner and I felt I had earned the pizza we were having. 
Oh, well, tomorrow is another day.
