I awoke in the early am and my brain started spinning. We are going to have our bathroom redone this fall and I have been making decisions. Hard work for me. Should we leave that outside door in the room? Don't know. Probably not. Minor details. My sleep deprived brain was agonizing over more important issues, mainly where do I put all the stuff in the meantime? Which leads to weighty issues like where do I put my baskets that are stored in the room? I love my baskets, some are very nice. Maybe I could give them to a daughter, but only if they don't throw them away. And the Norman Rockwell houses are stored up there, what if they all want them? What if no one wants them? They were perfect in our 1911 house on Fancher Street, on the fireplace mantle. I wonder if Katie's new house has a fireplace? I read the Saturday Evening Post every week of my childhood with Norm's paintings on the covers. Loved them.
We have some clothes stored in the laundry room, soon to be bathroom. Where can I put them? Ah, maybe in the under bed baskets in our bedroom. Just have to move out some future gifts, and my teddy bears. What about my teddy bears? They take up two whole baskets. I could just fill up the old cradle in the living room. I don't really even want that in the living room, no place else to put it. I wish Andrea had a huge house. She would take it all. Can't put them in the basement, too damp down there. Maybe the cottage loft with all the toys. Then what is the point. Could I sell them on ebay? Lots of them were gifts, that is just cold. Besides, I really like them. sigh. Who could sleep through this? Birthday gifts for the grands??
Maybe I should get rid of my desk top computer, it takes up so much space in the office/craft/sewing room. Steph has to quit giving me yarn, or maybe I need to get organized! Yes, this is the solution. Maybe I will find the pink yarn I bought for Megan's sweater. Need to get started on that, it will be fall before you know it and she has surely outgrown the last one I knit her. It was too small from the start, I need to knit faster or she needs to grow slower.
Maybe I can sneak in a nap today, after I organize things and take a swim in the lake.

I missed out on the bathroom remodel plan. What are you doing with the other bathroom? How much to hire an architect to redraw plans for the back of the house... gut it and reconfigure so it makes sense back there? You know we don't need anything but I'm sure we could find space for a few special baskets. We have some from Grandma Ann and I am trying hard to keep the girls from playing with them so they can have them when they are older. If you can't think of something to do with teddy bears you could donate to a ped's wing at a hospital like in the morning sun article. Kids would love them.
Or just organize better and then worry about what to do with this stuff later!
You could let the kids pick out a bear every time they come to visit until they're gone. You should find a spot for your little houses. If you love them build them a shelf.
I think you need to organize, I can think of a place where you could get an organizing system. I will hold off on the yarn, unless by request.
Oh, I love yarn. which is part of the problem. Good ideas from you girls. I didn't even mention the closet full of light bulbs, cleaning supplies, hung up table cloths and books. My fav books that I don't give to the library will go in the next door cupboards.
I have a mantle - they are mine!
