Cleaning Out the Clutter
I don't know what it is about this winter but it seems to be interfering with my ability to organize. I've got tons of beads and findings and have dozens of projects started but I don't seem to be able to finish anything!
I moved into my new home a year ago. I have plenty of room and plenty of boxes, organizers, and shelves but everything tends to get put into piles on my craft room floor. What's worse, is that everytime I sit down to organize, I find half-finished projects and start to re-work them!
Last night, I found some wood signs that I started painting last summer. Even though I'll probably never use them and likely won't be able to sell them, I sat and painted until early this morning. I'm trying to think of this in a positive light... maybe painting the signs will give me inspiration to finish other projects. Maybe I should paint one more sign and put the rest away. I once saw a plaque that said "Begin, the Rest is Easy." I think my sign will say,

PUT IT AWAY, GIVE IT AWAY OR THROW IT AWAY
Then, I'll hang it so I can see it and put everything else away, including my frustration of not finishing what I started. And then I'll take a deep breath and find a new project to start.
