Procrastinating

I'm procrastinating--today I told myself I was going to whip the kitchen and dining room into shape.  I'm taking it really slowly...

And this is after I've already done some clearing away!
The dining room is rarely used for dining purposes.  It's more often my sewing/craft room.  And--here's what really drives me crazy--it is also the room for stuff that has no home or stuff that needs to be put away.  It's a clutter graveyard, and finding homes for this stuff just sucks the energy right out of me.  Somehow the "if it doesn't have a home, get rid of it" idea is much more difficult in practice.

But I know that I really enjoy that sense of "mission accomplished," like yesterday after I returned from the laundromat with clean comforters ready to be put away (where, I'm not exactly sure). 


The comforters--clean and ready to be put away until fall.

And once I'm done, I can go back to reading,


I'm on magazine overload!
I am loving these books and wishing my girls would pick them up--and there's a new one out!
or knitting,

More dishcloths!

or dreaming about tomorrow night's chive risotto cakes!
I'll be making Barefoot Contessa's Chive Risotto Cakes.
