Spring cleaning...heh

I've been doing a little tidying in the treehouse, but let's not call it spring cleaning, ok? I've always thought of that as some sort of seasonal disorder.

Last Sunday, on a trip to Michael's to take advantage of a 50% coupon (more on that later), I purchased these in anticipation of tidying up this:I've always assumed this kind of tangled mess was unique to me, but I've recently learned there are others who share this propensity for untidiness. It happens when the muse drives a stitcher to dive right into a new embroidery project. And when this has happened multiple times, well, there's all manner of disorder.

Then this morning when I stopped at Target to purchase supplies for the special order travel tissue holders.....

.....I found a cute and colorful metal bucket for only a buck. It's just the thing for keeping a tidy button collection.

Then I made my way up the road to Weight Watchers. My weight needs a tad bit of tidying too. Just a few years ago, after decades of struggle, I reached my goal. Then this happened....

.....and I just continued to cruise along like I'd never gotten off the boat. So today, for the record, I've officially disembarked.

Oh, and that 50% Michael's coupon I mentioned before? I decided to use it on the purchase of quilt batting. And since I have no intention of packing that in my suitcase, I'll keep the food quilt project here on the east coast. So now I'm thinking, maybe I need a little more yarn.......
