1. walk past your bedroom and grimace as you hate those curtains and you can see the spare headboard propped up against the wall you repainted over a month ago
2. remember that you have a spare pair of curtains in the closet
3. iron and hang new curtains, feel satisfied and then look at the rest of the room, which is in a shambles and storing all the tools and crap from the bathroom renovation currently still taking place
4. take all the crap out
5. bring the headboard you made two months or more ago up from the dining room, where you realise it's been propped up against the wall since you got carpet over a month ago
6. take a Flickr break and look at Betina Larsson's photos www.flickr.com/photos/chezlarsson/3437769743/ , remember that 'simple bed skirt how to' and decide to rip up an old duvet cover and use that iron-on webbing to make a bed skirt.
7. do so, make bed, feel smug
8. wish you had tomorrow off to deal with all the crap you took OUT of the bedroom.
I put up this sign in our office since things were getting really messy. The cutting area always had tools lying around and was just always a total mess. So I took it upon myself to clean up the area. I got a box filled it up with our tools and called it the "Tool Box", I then got a trash can and put it right next to the cutting area so the other designers could throw away the excess papers after they are done cutting. Finally I put up this sign just to remind them to clean up. Two weeks later the place is still as messy and the tools are still lying about. If that wasn't bad enough, turns out someone lost the cutter's cover!! Why do I even bother..
Ursus Wehrli gave a great talk about "Tidying up Art". He was very funny, and surprisingly comfortable giving the whole presentation in English.
or as close as it's gonna get. i don't know why i decided to put all this stuff away now. have a phone interview in austin tomorrow, and if that goes well i'll just have to box it all up soon. better late than never, i guess.
Newly Reformed, Midleton Tidy Towns Association hopes to clean up in 2011
The newly reformed Midleton Tidy Towns Committee hopes to involve the local community to clean up the town and surrounding townlands and approach roads, and with Hurley's SuperValu, Deputy David Stanton TD, Midleton and Area Chamber, local residents and business people and a newly established management committee, they're off to a great start.
Last Saturday Nick Becker, secretary, and other committee members paid a visit to Hurley's SuperValu, Midleton where Tommy Grimes, Manager, presented them with high-viz vests, litter pickers and a generous cheque to help Midleton Tidy Towns achieve their goal of ensuring that Midleton becomes litter-free.
The committee is organising a coordinated approach to clean ups during the An Taisce National Spring Clean Month in April. Volunteers meet in the SuperValu car park at 9.30am on Saturday, April 2nd to help with picking litter. Other clean up dates are Saturday 9th, Sat 16th and Sat 30th April. On Tuesday 5th April the clean up day dedicated to participation by local schools.
The Middleton TidyTowns Group have also set up a Facebook page, where they post regular updates, events and news. The committee is also receiving support from Grow it Yourself (GIY) Midleton and Sustainable Midleton, two local voluntary groups.

It won't stay looking this tidy for long, but I hope to maintain the no-bag status it currently enjoys. My intention is to make sure all the food in these cupboards is put in a glass jar right away. Pantry pests are a real problem in my area and this is another way that food gets wasted.

I love the Streets of our District. Everything is so nice and tidy - it looks like nothing has changed since the 1950's.

The user manuals says that the screen of this cable 'must on no account be earthed' so I covered the end of the cable with heat-shrink sleeving. And fitted 4mm plugs to the signal wires.
Had to go with one colour and one B&W here - missed the focus slightly, as I was still quite nervous about people shots, but was fascinated by this lady..
This was the end of market day, and she was getting all these boxes ready.
I assumed to pack things away, but once all on the trolley, she was pouring water over them for some reason..
