Progress

It doesn’t look like it, but I’m making progress. As usual, my fall cleaning coincides with Thanksgiving. If I was sensible, I’d get this done sooner, but this year there were other things to see to. Actually, I’m a procrastinator, especially when it’s something that I don’t like to do. Do you know ANYONE who likes to do fall cleaning?? (Probably my niece does. There’s no one who cleans as well as she does!)
I started by sorting out the closets in the two guest rooms, and then began on MY closet. It took me several days, but I culled out all the clothes that I needed to give away, and pulled the summer clothes out of the closet. Then, I went through all my winter clothing and tried things on to be sure they still fit. I’ve asked Dear Husband to go through the spare jeans to decide which to keep and which to throw out, and that closet will be DONE!! YEA! Oh, and I also cleaned and reorganized the things on the shelves,and vacuumed up some of the dust! *G*
So, I have just one closet, the one in the office, to clean out. If I run out of time, I’ll just CLOSE THE DOOR! Sounds like a plan, doesn’t it???
I have a chart of what needs to be done, parceled out over the next ten days. It’s the only way I can keep track of how much time I have left to accomplish everything. The nice thing about Excel is that I can move thing around when I find I’ve put too much on one day, or I have more time than I thought I would.

Share a Square

As you can see, there is something new posted to the right. It’s a link to Shelly Tucker’s Share a Square FAQ page. Go ahead, click on it……I’ll wait right here for you…..
Back?? If you crochet, or know someone who crochets, would you please ask them to donate a few six-inch crocheted squares to this great cause? Even someone who is as rusty at crocheting as I am can crank out a square while watching one hour of TV at night. If you watch a lot of TV, you could be helping a good cause at the same time.
Your square doesn’t have to be as elegant as the one on the link. It can be a simple granny square, but be sure to read through the information to see what type of yarn to use (no wool!). I was shopping the other day and hit a phenomenal sale on yarn and picked up four skeins for about six dollars. I’m not sure how many squares that will make, but I plan to use it all up.
Be a sport. Send Shelly some squares, SOON!!
