The Living Room

In order to fairly document the mess and my progress in getting rid of it - more importantly, in keeping it gone! - I've taken pictures of the mess.

This is something that I know my Mother would not appreciate.

Oh well! :D

Above you will see several pictures of the living room, in the state it was when I started this blog.

Multiple laundry baskets, things out of order, books off of the shelf. I'm not sure what's on top of my Mother's rocking glider in the corner there, but there's stuff on it so she cannot sit there, anyway.

These images are not in the order I wanted them uploaded in. Rather disappointing, but not much I can do about that, as far as I know.

The top image features the workout bench in the corner (which we can't really get to or use, due to lack of space), the boxes stacked on the little table next to it contain my (Generation One) My Little Pony toys, which I also need to sort through for which ones I want to keep in my collection, and which ones are going to be sold. Also has a portion of the piano, which has the pillows I made on top of it, covered by an old sheet, and some of the stuff at the base of said piano.

The second image features the table ion frost of the fireplace we cannot use (The chimney flue needs cleaning, and the some of the bricks on the out side of the top have no mortar between them anymore, so it's been boarded up since I was a kid), the Yudu machine that I have yet to open ( ^^; ), the home-made light-box that I use for photographing customs and my jewelry projects, and some leftover material. Also featured are the stand I made to hold my cross-stitch pieces, and the corner of a laundry basket.

Picture three features some of said laundry, my papasan chair (which I believe has my old Raggety Ann doll on it), one of the book shelves (which has Mom's flute and some of the scarves I've made on it), and Patches, our Tortie cat, sitting in the open window by the door to the vestibule.

Photo four has the full-on view of the laundry pile, with the other bookshelf, ironing rack, and Mom's rocking glider in the corner. I'm not sure what's on that glider, but I'm pretty sure Mom hasn't been able to relax in it for months. I'm not sure what's on the floor behind everything there, but I'm pretty sure it's going to consist of at least a few books. My yarn for making the scarves is in the bookshelf thing under the lamp.

The last image is of the stuff at the back of the piano, across from the landry pile. Basically, fabric and laundry again, though it's worth noting that there is another table under there. Under the piano is some of my fabric stash (no where near the size of Mother's), and my Generation Three My Little Ponies, which I plan to sort through and sell most of.

Other rooms will be done as separate entries, mainly to make it easier to see what is where.

Obviously, I've my work cut out for me... ^^;
