Example... One shelf in the corner bookcase...
It yielded three cubes that will be room boxes. The smallest one is actually the box with a sliding door for coasters. It will be small half inch or large quarter inch... The box in the middle is a collector's case with little cubbies in the lid for things. The one that is already lined is one that I did some cartonnage work on years ago. I am not sure what I meant to keep in it, but it is going to be used for something now. I built up the sides of the inner box so that they hold the tray when it is closed.
I have about half of the shelves straightened... Not fully cleaned. I am getting there though.Every time I start another shelf, I find more unfinished items...
See that pile of little white boxes in the center of the third shelf? Those are all unopened House of Miniature kits that I found somewhere for cheap. The baskets at the bottom are almost finished...
One of the drawers in the closet holds 7 gift bags to be turned into rooms...
The stuff is at least on the shelves and not on the floor.
As soon as I finish typing, I am going back to conquer the workroom... I am finding way to many unfinished projects in there! I need to finish something! Just one thing would be nice!
There are a couple of room boxes on the top and Zar's unfinished Clockwork Cottage...
She is propped up on her favorite chair eating pepperoni pizza and slurping a Margarita... I don't think that it's helping! Every once in a while she yells at me to put something on a specific shelf... Not helping at all!!!
Maybe I should poke her with one of the pins from the 1940s Pin Jar... I doubt that it would get her moving... Just a thought.
Back to tidying up.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Casey. You do make good use of space on your bookcases. I hope they are anchored
to a stud, so they don't fall on you if overfilled or in an earthquake! Just saying!
I secure all my tall bookcases and there has only been one earthquake since I have
lived in this area for many years. I don't want to be found under a bookcase!
Now I shall go see where I can make improvements to my many bookcases.

Hello Casey,
Maybe I'll clean up my workspace and see if I find any treasures ;)
Poking Tessie with the pin might not work...but you'll never know if you don't try!
Big hug

What is it with all this spring cleaning? A friend of mine in Michigan is doing spring cleaning in her studio too! I did mine last week! Now I have room for my new collage supplies. Good luck with your cleaning!!! And when I say "Spring Cleaning", it is only the art studio. It's the most important room in the house so it gets the most attention!
Karenann, you will notice that I mentioned nothing about throwing out anything. Maybe it should be called Spring Re Arranging?
I threw somethings out and what I was unsure of, I put away. I did throw some stuff out though, or give them to Goodwill! It's funny because I had some special thread that I haven't used in years. I was sure I must have thrown it out and I needed it. Lucky me! I kept it!!! You never know!
