Today’s focus room is the bathroom, but I have a very clingy, sick toddler, so I don’t know how much I’ll get done. I think that today may also be the day my menu plan comes unstuck, and I’m only on day three! It just depends on if I can get out to go to the butchers & bakery.

On a more positve note, the curtains are up! This is just one side, as they make the room very dark when both closed.
The curtains are ready to hang. The rail is going up this morning. So now I’m porjectless, I’m about to start a new quilt. I’ve been shopping this morning, and found some very yummy fabrics. Now just to cut out one block & decide on the colourway!
The loungeroom, hallway & office are today’s focus rooms, with Skipper suggesting today’s obscure job being a 50 item pick-up in the focus room (the 50 item pick up is a Domestic Guru specialty that has made a huge difference to me!). I know I say this every week, but I really need to get my office sorted out. I don’t know why I find it so hard to just get stuck in, but I’ve got to get over it & just do it!
The curtains are going well, I have one all stitched up except the hem, ready to be gathered, and the other is cut, ready to go. Hopefully I can knock over my focus rooms quickly today & get the second one done, and maybe even hem them both, ready to be gathered tonight! I’ll be back later with a picture of my progress, my dining/sewing room is too dark at the minute.
My new “iron every night” habit is going well, I managed to clear my backlog of ironing last night. I think the secret is to not think about it too much, don’t sit down, and just do it!
I’ve just been down & bought the tape & thread I needed, so I’m about to get stuck in…
Woo-hoo! Halfway through the week! Today’s focus is the bathroom & laundry, and the obscure job is once again a 50 item pick-up in the focus room (Obscure job, & the wonderful 50 item pickup suggested by Domestic Guru)
It’s also project week over at Domestic Guru. My main project for this week is to make some curtains for our loungeroom. If I can get that done, I can get back to doing fun stuff like making quilts! Now I’ve worked out how the photo upload works, I’ll try & post some photos as I go along. Today is stage one, buying thread & tape, cutting the fabric, and starting to iron & pin the hems. I’ll post back with a pic this evening to show my progress!
I’m also starting a new habit, it’s been a couple of weeks, and my other habits are well ingrained now. My new habit is ironing – every night, while watching tv, if there is ironing to be done, I will iron for either half an hour, or until it’s done, whichever comes first. I’m hoping if I do it in bite-sized pieces, it won’t be so daunting, and it may actually get done! Last night was the first night, and I got half an hour done, which saw me about halfway through the collection on my bedroom floor.
