creative stuff...

i've been trying to get things organized around the house so that i can focus on things i "want" to do, without being distracted by all of the things that need done. two things i want to do more: workout and create stuff so in order to do that i have to clean out the garage so i can finally set up our home gym area (need a treadmill and a few more free weights for the weight machine), and get the master bedroom better organized so i can set up a better work space for sewing and crafting (no, not my first choice of locations, but it's all i've got for now). in order to do either one of these, the first thing that needs to be done is to paint a dresser and bookcase i found that someone set on the curb for "free". they will go in our room and probably hold sewing stuff. i also need to paint the armoire for the baby's nursery, and then organize the rest of the garage.

i'm just so tired of only focusing on schoolwork and housework, but finding it impossible to get better organized. i started on nick's room, did the family room yesterday, and am now working on the master bedroom and garage somewhat simultaneously. once my work area is set up, then the front room (living/dining rooms) can be free of my "crafty junk".

there are so many projects i have that need to be done, but with it being so chaotic, nothing ever gets finished, even if i get started. one thing that just popped up on my crafty/thrifty radar is this really cool, simple and cheap
scented diffuser.

hopefully soon i'll be organized and can start really posting great stuff to my creative blog and showing progress on my transition to healthy.
