LINEN CUPBOARD NIGHTMARE

 

In our last home we had 3 linen cupboards, and even more room when I used a wardrobe as well.

When we moved, I gave away a mass of linen, and only kept what we needed, plus a few spares.

But the linen cupboard here is just too small to even hold our minimum.  Some is in the attic in black sacks!

Today I am going to buy some of those vacuum pack bags... so I can suck the life out of some things, so they take up less room.  I'm hoping my stick vacuum does the job, if not... I'll have to borrow Lacy's vacuum.

This is the first home we've had that has not had much storage.  Don't downsize unless you are prepared for having to squeeze ya shit into smaller spaces!  I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was.

At least I've stopped crying now!  😂😅

After I've done that, I will make a start on quilting and binding the 11 runner tops I've just finished making. 

ABOVE: For weeks I've been stressing out about where I could lay out a big roll of batting in this house?

I thought I'd end up having to take it over to Steve 'n' Bex's to use their huge patio.

But no !  It fits (just) in my lounge.  So I cut out all 11 pieces I need for the 11 runners last night.  Now I shall cut out the backing fabric, then quilt... bla bla bla.

A few photos from last night:

ABOVE:  Lily loves having her photo taken!

ABOVE: And Archer does not mind at all.  He's blossomed over the past year, it's so wonderful to see.

ABOVE: Dante was like, NOPE, don't want me photo taken, rolling around on the floor with his shirt over his head.

ABOVE: And then he relented, and posed as only he can, with his baby sister.  She's so tiny next to him!

ABOVE: And not to be left out is our Marley.  She's giving me the side eye, cos she doesn't like having her photo taken either.  😂😅😖
ONWARD... 

11.05 am, and I've been out, bought vacuum bags, picked up the vacuum from Lacy, gassed up my car and now I'm home.

ABOVE:  I'm now going to do this job tomorrow, with Stew's help. He will LOVE that.  😂😅 

So now, it's back to sewing.  Something I can do on me own.
