I haven't done alot of sewing lately, probably because the sewing area has become a dumping ground for everything that doesn't have a home. The majority of the stuff from Waverly's closet last week just got transferred here as well as some toys and books that I removed from the downstairs homeschool/play area. That is on top of the regular junk that needed to be put away.
I managed to get all the surfaces cleaned off. There is actually a space for me to sew if I feel so inclined.

My fabric collection was out of control and although some was organized much of it was in random piles and puking out of boxes. Curt laughed at me one night as I took it all out and refolded each piece telling me that it wasn't any less just because it was folded pretty. I did manage to get rid of a bag of it as rags and another bag to the thrift store and some just went in the trash. I can't believe that what used to take up the whole shelving unit now only takes up two shelves. The other shelves were freed up for craft supplies.

By no means am I done the basement sewing area yet I still have this pile...
and this pile.
however progress was made.
My computer also got a clean out this week, although not planned. I spent most of the week fighting a virus on our computer and in the end did a clean install of windows. Thankfully we didn't lose anything in the process and it appears that we are virus free so far. I'm still a little nervous about the virus since it is one that tries to access your passwords and secure information (ie. banking). I had to change all my passwords and now keep an eye on all my accounts more closely than usual.
A clean instal is something we do about once a year anyway on our computer and it was due.
Would you look at that beautiful clean desktop.
So there is your reminder to back up all your computer files and pictures and make sure your antivirus software is up to date. Do it! Now!
