What I've Been Doing and What I Want To Be Doing.....

Yesterday was a few hours with hubby in the garage putting stuff back into the toolboxes and labeling the drawers.  Notice that the lids are closed (the tops of the boxes) we have not been able to do that in a very long time.

 Later today we will be transfering the contents of the "Wiring" and "Plumbing" boxes into larger ones.  After going through the garage we have found more things that belong in these boxes and they filled right up!

I am sure some of you out there are thinking "gee it sure is taking a long time to get the garage done" but I would rather sort EVERYTHING and go back to it a little at a time than to still have some "baskets" that are have some junk in it and be finished.  Hubby and I will go out again in the next few days when we are both in the "mood".  Yesterday we were able to empty several containers and there are actually still some empty drawers in the toolbox for some of the stuff that is on the bench that still needs a home.  We also will be able to use the two empty boxes from above for more stuff, it will be so much easier finding stuff when it's all sorted.  Except for purchasing three new boxes and this  organizer we have used totes and crates that we already owned to organize the garage.  I would love to be able to go to the home improvement store and buy all those fancy organizers, etc. but we are using what we have and is will work just fine for us.

Here is the Imagine/Frolic quilt with the binding......so I will sew it on and pick at it in the evening while watching TV. 

CAN'T SEEM TO GET MY PHOTOS SO "IMAGINE" THE QUILT, LOL!

Here are several bundles that I will make two "quick" quilts to put in MY livingroom, sorry I sound so selfish don't I.......

YOU WILL HAVE TO IMAGINE THESE TOO!

I have also been playing with these scraps.....I will be using them to make some curtains for a very special little girls room. 

COME ON NOW, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THIS TOO!

Okay I'm getting frustrated because I took the time this morning to take photos and I can't "get" to the rest of them from blogger, GRRRRRRR.  Okay breathe it's not the end of the world.


I just tried ONE MORE TIME to get my photos with no success.  I will try again later.

  1. Can't wait to see the pictures. I know how frustrating it can be when it doesn't work right away.

    Good job on the garage. Organizing takes a lot of time! Way to go using what you had on hand, too!

  3. Denise, Blogger was doing maintenance yesterday around 5 and that is probably why you were having trouble...

    My hubby went through all his tools down in the basement...My Son who just moved into his own home doesn't have tools and are borrowing his Dads...Russ and triple and even quad of some..so he made two piles...one for Dave and one for Tim... They will have their own sets... Dave will probably be moving out in a couple of weeks...so Russ felt he needed some of his own to..Both are getting drills for Christmas..

    Good job tho on sorting..It is all worth it tho..I know what you mean by getting in the mood for it tho..

    Have a great day..

  4. That's one thing I can say about our garage...the toolboxes are always shut! Anyone who leaves out a tool or leaves a tool box open or heaven forbid a drawer open is in big trouble! LOL

I really enjoy hearing your comments, sorry I had to turn on the "word verification" but I got my first comment from a "non-person".......I prefer comments from people.
