four hours and five bags to goodwill later...I discover carpet in my closet

We only see the floor look this good once a year when it is freshly waxed-I love this floor! except for the up-keep

There's an almost inaccessible nook where our closet turns. There's actually storage space back there and nothing is going to stop me from using storage space. It's about as hard to reach as it looks though.

I think it was Elliot Erwitt who said that having a pool right by the edge of the sea must be embarrassing for the pool!

Kits pool is huge, something like 127 meters long - just struck, as long as a 400ft roll of Double X!!!!

Finally put up my quilt design wall (aka two pieces of white felt held up with push pins) and experimented with it.

 

Decided that I need to find my bigger piece of flannel to use instead!

The much overdue closet cleaning resulted in 7 bags of clothes that I will now take to Goodwill this weekend. May I never wait this long to clear out my closet again!

It's really hard to convey how much neater and cleaner my room is in a photograph...

I've been itching to get out in my garden - the weather changed yesterday from winter to spring.

The pegs are many years old. I used Picasa to crop the photo square. And Paint.NET plus the Color Balance plugin by BoltBait to change the colours a little--from bright and fresh to warm and inviting.

the perfectionist in me fixed the crooked box right after I took this picture

The Big Tidy-up: Phase 1

(Mar. 2009) Use your old-school red-cyan 3D glasses to view. This is the last of the Spring Cleaning 2009 series. Yeah, parts are a bit washed out, but I like the layers and confusion of reflections.

 

Spring Cleaning 2009 Series: Since I haven't been posting very much since I got my new computer and my photos got disorganized, I did a spring cleaning and organized stuff and found some half-decent shots that I had not posted.

 

Who knew we were so gross?! We don't wear shoes in the flat and I think we keep the place pretty clean - but we still managed to get this grimness out of our carpets. They are lovely now though!

 

Busy day tidying, moving stuff and cleaning the living room, dining room and hall. I popped up into the village just before lunchtime to drop off a parcel for Tim, pick one up from the delivery office, drop off a bag of clothes at the charity shop, and to grab a couple of sandwiches and a vegan sausage roll from Greggs. I can recommend the latter!

Boxes full of PS/2 keyboard and mouses, sound columns and assorted electronic stuff.

a kind of yucky shot of the tapes in the cans - the light is awful today!

 

I love my bias tape. it's a magical substance.

My goal was to get through my entire closet. I set the rule that everything had to be tried on unless it had been worn in the last six months. No more skipping over things or stuffing them in the back, saying "Oh, that probably fits. I'm sure I'll wear it again." That strategy meant that I had clothes dating back to my first marriage... a long, long time ago.

 

I got rid of my caregiver wardrobe (machine-washable jumpers with pockets, to hold prescriptions) and most of my consultant wardrobe. It was hard to part with the consultant clothes -- they were expensive and beautiful. But assuming I ever pick up my Coach briefcase again, I can't go into a meeting looking like this. I had one jacket that almost reached my knees. Why did we dress that way... why??

 

Now that I think of it, I got rid of almost everything on this list. It went to my favorite thrift store where some teenager will squeal with delight over the 80s treasures she'll find. Yes, I still had a few shoulder-pad classics.

 

I didn't make it through the whole closet. By the time I reached evening wear, I was exhausted. I'll save that for another day.

 

While on the topic of keeping oneself up to date, kudos to Pete for telling me about Young@Heart. He sent me a link to their covers of "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Staying Alive." (Don't miss the female solo -- awesome, funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking.)

 

I love their version of "Schizophrenia" too. Rock on!

Staff had fun sifting through all of the "junk".

(Aug. 2008) "The Passing Song" sculpture by Catherine Widgery, done as a planet using a collage of images (I can't remember how many).

I've taken other photos of this sculpture.

 

At the end of the day, there were still heaps of cool items that we were able to donate to Goodwill. Success!

(Mar. 2009) On a relatively cold (about -10°C) but magical day walking in the Mount Royal Cemetery. Here is some froth created by bubbles running under the ice and coming through cracks.

Window cleaner using a squeegee to wash a window

The summertime heat in the Mojave Desert can make it difficult to give your windows a thorough cleaning, and the August monsoon season can make windows especially dirty with water spots, mineral deposits and outdoor dirt. Add to the natural elements the effects of spiders, insects, pets, dust,...

I was amazed at how easy it was to turn a mediocre, spur-of-the-moment shot into a bright and colourful photo. I simply boosted the light in Google Picasa, adjusted highlights, cropped, and fine tuned saturation. All in a minute!

Janna found a cute sweater, a few new hair clips, and several other treasures at the spring swap.
