I have been busy creating chaos in my house, as I pull out an overwhelming embarrassment of riches, tidying up so that I can start with at least getting rid of any duplicates of 'stuff'
We have polished wooden floors, wonderful for cleaning up after a creative session.
Busily cutting circles of fabric STR (surplus to requirements) for re-purposing as Suffolk Puffs, I dropped and slipped on one piece, upended boxes of already tidy-as-I-went threads,stablisers,beads, ribbons, braids etc., etc.,...you name it, I sent it flying! Of course I hadn't put the lids back on the plastic tubs as I was going to catalogue the goodies. And I don't know whether at my age I have fallen over or reached that dubious place of having 'had a fall'
Severely wrenched my shoulder and a back muscle, in pain +++ now for 2 days. Giving analgesics and anti-inflammatories a work out also.
The 'tidy up' is still all over the place, worse than ever as my hubby made our dining area (using the table no less) safe by clearing everything to one side on pain of death that he throw anything out yet!
I am almost back to being able to laugh about it, mingled with trickles of tears of pain if I laugh too hard(!!)...my computer chair is the most comfortable seat I can manage for any length of time.
I am going to have a sale of 'embarrassingly excess to requirements" (or should that be painfully in excess) at home in the next month or so, with some of the funds to go to our flood stricken fellow Aussies
