Tidying up

First a confession; this first photo has nothing at all to do with today´s entry. I just wanted to add one pretty picture, as the rest are anything but. So... to the business at hand; tidying up. I am sure none of you faithful readers remember this entry about my interests and passions... or vices (I have very nearly forgotten about it myself).


But since it is mid winter, and I spend more time indoors than I really like to, I can not help but notice the piles of magazines and books that have accumulated on the floor. So today I decided (finally) to try and do something about the matter. After having sorted the various magazines into piles of "keepers" and "non-keepers", I started to flick through the latter pile, in order to see if there is anything worth keeping.


Of course it is more than easy to get distracted while going through old magazines. But I have managed to cut out quite a few interesting articles, and gathered them in old ring binders. It is somewhat tedious work, but the end result is worth it, as it is so much more pleasant to look through a binder full of lovely articles, as opposed to flicking through piles of magazines in search of something potentially inspiring.


But I still have a long way to go before I have dealt with all my magazines. And then there is the pile of books, on the floor of almost every room in the house. Since all the books are "keepers" I guess the only solution is to get more bookshelves (that is if I want the books off the floor). So my tidying up is still very much a work in progress...
