I usually go on a creative bender with quilting, knitting, or sewing. But I’ve finished a lot of things this year, at a cost of deep cleaning time. I’ve done something every day this week to bring the tidy back. Even if I can only do one drawer, that’s progress--and it’s adding up. Today I emptied the coat closet, vacuumed cobwebs from the ceiling, and put things back more orderly than I found then. I discovered a very dusty jacket that I probably haven’t worn in 4 years. Tomorrow I’ll wash it so I can donate it. This weekend I’ll do similar in the living room; I need a very clean space in order to welcome Christmas decorations into it. The lesson I take as a maker of holiday magic, is that it doesn’t just happen--you have to make it happen. I can’t get excited about putting up a tree if I’m worried about cobwebs and clutter; so, this is how it’s got to be.🤷🏻‍♀️
