Work in Progress

Haven't had much time for my variety of creative work lately but we have been working long and hard on the house--cleaning out the old, packing up the things we don't absolutely need for the next three months, etc. So here's the before and after--our living room a month ago, the main staging area for the great clean-out, and the same room (really?!) yesterday afternoon.

A little disconcerted that the up-and-coming stagers (I'm letting them take pictures of whatever they do to build their portfolio, they give me deadlines and advice) decided that my thread racks should be the over-the-couch art, but different strokes, I guess. Anyhow, Alicia the wonder cleaner was amazing, Bob has done a HUGE amount of work, and the kids, though grumbly, have really stepped up as well.
