Blue Monday and Met Monday----sort of----

Hello everyone! I am doing a double post again

for double the pleasure.

Hmmm......

That sort of reminds me of that Doublemint commercial.

Anyway, thank you to Sally over at Smiling Sally for hosting the BLUEs for us.

And thank you to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting the METs for us.

Have you noticed several of our hosts have names that start with "S"?

Now why is that?


After the Easter clean up I had all the clean dishes
all over the dining room table.
I should have taken a picture of that, oh well.
But here is the look after I put the stuff away.
My plates, bowls and cups you can see here.
Notice I have the cups hanging from hooks to save shelf space.
The dishes have BLUE.

We used these Princess House plates for dessert.
See, I have put them away too.
My what a good girl I am.
Now I need a pie to stick in my thumb,
like that nursery rhyme. Heehee.

The wine glasses get put away here.
See our method of saving shelf space.
It really helps to have some of the wineglasses hang from the stem.

Otherwise that upper space is wasted space!

The gravy boat that was used for extra ham glaze.
It gets put away here next to my wedding cake top
which has BLUE!

This gravy boat was one we got on my birthday outing.
We found it at a thrift shop for cheap.

I also have some BLUE wine glasses.

Only 5 though. And 2 water goblets.

They were wedding gifts, but we did not end up with very many.

The towels I used to dry the dishes.

Also full of BLUE.

So that was a mini-met in the kitchen/dining room.

Going from messy Easter meal dishes,

to clean and put away again until next time.

Here is another Metamorphis I am working on.

This messy corner in the family room.

I was getting annoyed with this mess.

Can't find what I want.

This is the bookcase in the messy corner.

A yucky messy place.
And on the floor beside the chair.
More yucky messy stuff.

This messy place is in the sewing/office room.
Actually it was worse before I took the picture.
There was a lot more papers and junk on the floor.
Yucky messy me.
Also, by the time I took this picture, I had actually straightened
the bookshelf some.
It is actually neater here than it was.
If you can imagine such a thing.
That laundry basket there is full of fabric.
This is the worst.
I have not tackled this part yet.
HELP!
I can't even get into the closet!!
Oh me, oh my!

The ultimate goal it to totally clean out this closet and redo
the storage set up in there.
But I needed to do the other straightening and cleaning before
I can even get into the closet.
The closet was never painted white like the rest of the room
which is making it a very dark spooky place.
No wonder I don't want to go in there.
Notice also we have taken the door off.
Gives me more usuable wall space.
But my cutting table is now blocking the doorway.
Half of the room has been painted yellow
which is the color I want in here.
It is kind of a dark room so the yellow should make it cheery in there.

This is a Metamorphis in progress.
So far I have gotten this corner in the family room
cleaned and straigthened.
Doesn't that look so much better?

Now I need to get back into the sewing/office room
and continue where I left off.
I need to keep going so I can make it a room
that is fun to sew and craft in.
This is also the room I blog in too.
The corner where the computer is located
is already yellow.
So I get to look at the cheery yellow while blogging.
And that mess in the pictures is behind me.
I can't see it while I blog.
If I can't see it, does that mean the mess is not there?
Happy Monday everyone!
