They aren't suppose to break Honey......

There's only one answer: Tupperware!

today my mom and I had a wonderful time, I returned home around 7:30pm and
goofed around awhile. Then around midnight I went back into the 'pit'.
I worked on top the table, moving scrapbook supplies, odd quilting notions
like the little 6" square up, 4 different rotary cutters, bobbins, various
containers like old candy tins with stuff in them, and (drum roll) the
Wittman's candy box has arrived! It's was opened and found to have lots of
goodies inside, like a heart shaped chalk wheel, varioius packs of different
size quilting needles, 2 thimbles, several quilting threads that match the
different projects I had last been working on (a million years ago), a tiny
pair of scizzors that had a piece of yarn tied thru one finger hole and the
other end tied thru a spool of thread. Ha, ha, my cheap/lazy answer to the
ones you make by hand, but take all day. This way the yarn goes around your
neck and you have your thread and scizzors RIGHT there to snip a new piece
without budging and chasing falling/tumbling spools, a roll of 1/4" quilting
tape, and one of those tiny little pin cusions that fit in a plastic pop
bottle cap and have elastic to go around your finger - which that part seems
to be missing....hmmmmm and a cross stitch needle!
OK, this is getting pretty good, but tomorrow I will continue to clean
this room, as I need to verify just what all this stuff is and separate out
the 'garbage' that don't belong in there that is taking up valuable room
that I could be playing in!

to tell you the truth... I've uncovered so many little projects that I'm
wondering just what it is that I _really_ want to take the first stitch on!
I'm kind of savoring the thought!

What I did last night to solve this dilemma...I gave a list of the stuff i had to do
to a friend, and she randomly picked a project for me to work on. The dartboard
method works well, too.

LOL
We don't have kids, and haven't had any. But I know my DH is hard on
breakables, mostly because he gets involved in other things and doesn't pay
attention. When he turned 50 we had a "if you get to 50 without growing up
you don't have to" party.

One of my friends said she knew the children had grown-up when she was
able to replace all the plastic glasses with real glass tumblers. I
agree. We still have a few Tupperware glasses but they aren't used
very often. Susan

We apparently aren't too hard on glasses. We've been married almost 37
years and recently broke another of the 12 or so glasses my brother gave
us when we got married. Still have 3 left. Of course, we've gone through
quite a few other glasses. Most of those from the fast food places
didn't last a long time. My glasses are getting to look pretty tough
from the dishwasher, so I think I may be replacing some before too long.
But the old ones will be thrown when that happens.

Yes, but it breaks.

Kate, and Cozy, (and anyone else.........g)
My whole house has succumbed to the effects of entropy and chaos. sigh. I try to
work on it a bit each day, but that doesn't always happen.

Diana.. wow, I'm glad people are enjoying my efforts... I have to admit that
before I began sharing it I was a little scared, thinking people would be
horrified at the state of mess I have going here!

We are - horrified that your health has let you down so far that it has
got in such a mess! However, if you pop over to my web site (URL below)
you can see that mine was also in a dire state, and took some clearing!
Unfortunately, as I am at present advised against lifting boxes of
fabric due to the gall bladder extraction on 23 December, mine has
reverted to chaos... I think it's called entropy!

So many of us have had health and stress issues leading to a like state
in our sewing spaces that we do understand, and cheer you on every step
of the way.

Yes, but I'm not sure you can use it in the microwave. It's pretty
durable otherwise.
