Clutterbug!

Calming Sea

Seeking Calm

My home is in chaos! It's driving me mental! I need to rant! I know this will be over and I know that millions of people have far larger problems but holy moly I want it to be over!

We recently had our central heating system totally replaced and now we are in limbo as we organise the ripping out and replacement of the kitchen. Better planning might have ensured that we moved elegantly from one week of heating replacement into the next phase - but it strikes me that I have never involved myself in such a large home maintenance project, or series or projects and frankly have no idea how to plan something this big! We have the design for the kitchen, now we just need to organise the timing/buying etc.

Until then I am stuck with boxes everywhere, more clutter than we usually create, and a sense of frustration because it all seems like such a huge mountain to climb! I want to open a window and throw the whole lot out and sit in a space where there is nothing but me!

*flailing wailing*

Still I did manage to locate my telephone and reserve my space in another storytelling workshop - so I'm looking forward to Friday.

If I could just find my desk I might be able to do something more creative... Tammy has just opened a shop on etsy and reminded me that I only have one polymer clay item listed there... I have been dreaming ideas for new polymer clay projects for a while now but the clay just sits on a shelf untouched - maybe if I find my desk I could have a space to play...

    they say if you can make it through a home improvement, you can make it through anything.

    and if you’re partnered and don’t kill each other it is a very good sign that you will be together forever.

    hang in there!

    Is that book you’re reading good – the cover looks good…

    oh, wouldn’t it be nice to just GET RID OF EVERYTHING and start over?! i love the idea of sitting in an empty room with just the few things you might need. well, okay…i know that is not at all realistic but, hey, it feels good to dream! good luck with your project. i’m sending you some energy–hope it helps! :)
