Spring cleaning and throwing out things.

This is the pile of magazines and books I have donated to the Rotary Club to sell in their up coming Bookarama, yes I actually threw out almost half my house, food and craft magzines. It was surprisingly easy, no drama just looked at the covers and made a keep or give decision, Aj said "how can you get rid of them without looking through them", but honestly I could tell by looking at them what was in them, weird but true.

The cushion I made for the couch in the kitchen/diner, the floral fabric was a curtain, the piece of patchwork I made years ago and the tartan fabric I bought off Trade me years ago. The little Indian cushion I picked up at a jumble sale at a local church, even "the men" think the couch looks better. Just spring cleaning was a workout in it's self, the house is full of young and old men here to watch the boxing. Time for a cuppa and a sit down. Love Aunt Bee.  P.S. much celebrating here last night. as Ireland beat Aussie, of course in this house Ireland is our second favourite team after the All Blacks. Little jolt last night at 8pm. the house seemed to jump of it's foundations and them back down again. Just a reminder not to get to complacent.

    All smiles until I got to your final couple of lines, they made me shiver, stay safe. On a lighter note you have quite a pile of magazines there, and that is just half of them, mind you top marks for having the courage to sort through them and donate them to charity.
