Life is full and fast at the moment, and I am feeling like I am constantly running to keep up; but never quite getting everything done that I need to get done. Sigh
But flowers help make everything better...
We are moving some things on from the studio space and are having a BIG garage sale on the weekend. B has been busy moving paper from the studio to the office/studio at home and once here, it has been my job to sort it.
Yesterday a friend and I spent a couple of hours cutting and tearing paper and this is the lovely pile we made.
And this is the box of paper I just ordered! We need some of our favourite grey for book covers that we both have planned, and we only have two sheets left. It felt odd to be opening packets of new paper as I was trying to sort out which papers went where, and if in fact I could move some of them on!
There was paper all over the sewing room/studio space.
But some excellent new paper drawers to put it all in!
After two hours of sorting, B came home and found me like this!
There is method of sorts in my madness - there are piles for sale; scraps for sale, papers free to a good home and some good papers to sell in their packs. It really was one of those jobs best done by oneself - I had a vague plan and understanding of what differentiated this paper from that paper and why, and it all worked out OK in the end.
All I have to do now is do some labels for the new drawers - numbers and descriptors of what they hold -then that job is done. Phew.
And here is a lovely photo of eucalyptus leaves in the sunlight on our kitchen bench, which we have purloined to be the backdrop for some promotion of our Studio Garage Sale.
good luck with the sale !
