Hello.
It's been another weekend of horrible driving rain and dullness. Master Clicky's rugby was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch, so Mister Clicky put him to work. We've decided that we have lots of 'stuff.' I'm not sure what the stuff is or who it belongs to, but we have a lot. Over New Year we had a chat and decided to have a sort and an organise. Yesterday I bought 4 packs of loft boarding sheets and today Mr and Master have been in the attic above the garage laying it. I have been buying plastic boxes by the tonne and all that stuff will be labelled and properly stored. The next job is to find some good drop down ladders from the loft hatch, so we can get to it easily.
Whilst they were up there banging around I decided to sort out (my) bookcase in the hall. It holds mainly my knitting books. You may remember that back last summer Gillian from Tales from a Happy House put her cookery books on a bookshelf, colours together ~ I'm sorry I tried to find the post but couldn't ~ I thought it was an interesting idea, so.......
.......I've done it too. What do you think? Better? The green/brown books at the bottom are, unsurprisingly, gardening.
Our hall, especially at the moment, is quite dark, so I kept out a set of lights from the Christmas decorations. I love the warm glow that they give, making the hallway more inviting.
Above the bookcase is this picture. I found this beautiful tissue paper when I was Christmas Shopping and sent Mr Clicky out before Christmas to the local DIY store for a frame. I was pleasantly surprised when he came home with this black box frame.
Something else I decided to leave out and not pack away.
I have been trying to take some knitty photos but the light is so rubbish, they didn't come out well. I will try again after school this week, on the plus side it is light when I get home as the nights are drawing out again.
That's me for now.
Have fun..............Clicky Needles. x
I hope that the sorting and organising goes well! It is good to know what is where isn't it. Your shelves look very organised now, and pretty too with the lights! xx
ReplyDeleteI think your bookshelves look better and I like what's on top.. and it was a good idea to leave your lights out.. I have left my white lights out around the dining room windows. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteI try & organise my books in some sort of order but I always fail I like a surprise. I like the way the paper has been frames, very pretty x
ReplyDeleteA good sort out always feels so wonderful. So sorry about all the rain.

Its funny isn't it that this time of year make us sort things out. We've just had shelves built to hold out ever increasing books... love the tissue paper in a frame idea too and colour matching books, I have thought about it myself...
ReplyDeleteWell done on your shelves.....will u come and do mine please? Why not hang the lights around the frame? xxx
ReplyDeleteWe have been doing some reorganizing, too. I really love your lights on the color arranged books in their bookcase in a dark hallway. We also are getting lots of gloomy rainy weather here across the pond...really you would think we are close neighbors :) I think your framed trees are so cheery, too. xx
