During... my bedroom

Just pictures today. I have a metre of ironing to do. Mostly shirts belonging to my Dearest One, but I am on a roll and want to get the kitchen tidier!

    Look at you go! You are a woman on a mission I can tell.

      There's nothing more dangerous than a woman on a mission....

    Yes, stay on that roll! Sometimes you have to let things build up to such a point that you just think "Right!" and then you get motivated and crack on. I need a deadline to kick me up the arse, or else I just faff around for ages. Moving house meant that we did some spectacular de-cluttering last year and actually it was really liberating. x

      We moved house 14 years ago when I was 7 months pregnant. I didn't do ANY decluttering at that time, and almost no organised thought emerged. I'm hoping to feel liberated as well. I don't think I've ever cleared quite as comprehensively as this year; I've been brutal with myself!

    I've been decluttering too. There's a huge pile of stuff to be taken to the charity shop and I went to the dump yesterday with several tins of dried up paint, unused, battered kitchen equipment and empty boxes from items we no longer own but kept 'just in case'. You look as if you are doing well. There are just three of us and we create lots of clutter so it must be even more tough with five of you. Don't forget to take some time out too. Holidays coming to an end soon and I've made the mistake before of spending too much time on chores and not enough actually relaxing.

      Don't worry, I have downtime scheduled as well! This week there is no decorating planned, and next week is a week of washing and packing.

    I have a matching ironing pile apart from a couple of shirts it will be put away un ironed - one day maybe! Good luck with you decorating, we've just finished my mums house & I have no wish to see another paint can for a while!

      I iron nothing if I can get away with it. Mr AJ still has 75cm worth of ironing, but I can see the kitchen wall behind, so that's better!

      There is still a metre of ironing, but that's because I've been washing. Big mistake.

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with ...
