As I said earlier, there were several reasons to decide trying this everyday blogging, and one of those is that I miss that FB group, that... was about small (or big) things we keep procrastinating for some reason, and during Advent and/or Lent we were trying to do them, maybe om one-a-day or some other base.
It created a kind of accountability, and I miss that... too, among other things from that group.
Anyhow, what I was not procrastinating anymore...
Yes, I have a lot of stuff, a lot of base-materials for my hobbies (also a lot of clothes, but that is a topic for a different post), for my flat in an Eastern-European type prefabricated building that was not planned to store things in (just the opposite, but that is yet again another post), and I constantly need to rearrange stuff, finding (creative) ways to put away. One of this attempts were a few years ago to rearrange my flat, changing rooms with Chris, etc, you can read about that in my early 2020 posts.
Stuff did not stop to come in, though some did go out, some gotten made into projects, and Chris moved out. So yes, I am at it again.
This spring I kind of haphazardly threw into the small ikea gardrobe in Chris's room the fabrics that were strewn around, some of those still in the bags I brought them in (ahh, this is a recurring theme too, I know at least two other posts about similar situations), to have them out of the way. However, sometimes in the summer, I needed something that was at the bottom of the stack, and trying to drag it out, the stick holding the shelf broke, and the whole pile fell out, on my head. I tried to put it back, however the little stick broke in such a way, it was impossible to put back there. I was in a rush, and really not happy about it, so I kind of closed the door on that room and ignored the problem. Whenever I needed something from there, I carefully stepped over the heaps, and then closed again. I really did not have the time or the inclination to deal with it.
Until last week, when I took everything out, decided to hang odd bits of historical clothes in the half where there is no shelf anymore. You know the pieces that I already made a newer, better fitting, more accurate, etc version, but too good to cull, because they could be loaned to someone, who is starting out in reenacting, or decides to try a period, but does not know if interested enough to invest in clothes just yet, etc.
Also asked Norbert to fix the shelve, and put up the one, I took out from the other half and put in, so I would have smaller heaps of fabrics to deal with.
Now, I can put stuff back and continue to go through stuff Chris left here.
