House hurrah!

Today has been as good as yesterday! I had a slow start, and woke up feeling very floppy and groggy and generally headachy. I therefore wimped out of meeting The Girls for moose and juffins, and instead spodded online for a while. Criossants and ham brought restored vigour and vitality, and I embarked upon the task Robert had spent the previous day enabling - he spent yesterday moving my bookshelf (my very own lovely bookshelf which has been marooned in the yucky dining room for two years!) into the back room upstairs, into the space vacated by the small bookshelf (which is now in the bedroom on top of a chest of drawers)! He'd cleaned it and everything, and put all the books in boxes for me :) I was very happy indeed when I came in last night.

So I got to organise my books! I have almost two shelves of theology/church history/religious-topics books, which makes me feel like I have a brain, and I have my nice copies of Austen all together, and all my Trollope in one place, and all the plays and poetry together on the bottom shelf. It's lovely and wonderful and I'm very pleased. Some of the spare books are now stacked neatly in a box.

Then later I was even more useful. As Robert had moved the bookcase the dining-room was quite a bit less awful than it had been (he'd also thrown out lots of stuff), and so I could get into it and extract all my fabric which has been lying around getting covered in fluff and hair and dirt and yuck. It's in five boes total now; one box of clean fabric (stuff which was put in there when it was brand new), one box of dirty fabric which can be used for peasant costumes, one box of dirty fabric which cannot be used for peasant costumes, and two buckets of scraps divided on the same principle. It's all neat and out of the way! It's great!

Must eat tasty crispbake, going cold.

hoooray! I feel your joy, and also think I need to tackle our dining room in a similar way.

Cool - must be so nice to have your fabric stash all sorted! I really need to get on with doing my room.

Very busy at work today, so i don't quite know when I'll get a chance to sort the photos out. The issue is that i need to resize them all to get small enough copies to upload! I'll have a go at lunch, but today at work is a Bad Day so far :(

Actually there's still some fabric upstairs which is unsorted, but I think it's mostly purple crushed velvet and the like which I won't be wanting to make faux-medieval stuff out of. :) The downside of the fabric-sorting is that it really is all dirty, and washing it in time for this weekend will be hard as the dryer is broken. :/

Don't worry about the photos - it'll be great to see them whenever you have time, but it's not exactly urgent :)
