Is that a fabric stash I see? Neatly folded and inside a cupboard? all the sewing books lined up neatly too?

I must have fallen into the wrong life when I woke up this morning, because this one is definitely more tidy than my usual life. In my usual life cupboard doors are there to hide the mess I’ve hastily scraped off the floor because the vicar is coming.

(Or whoever, because the vicar never comes. I don’t even know if vicars do house calls anymore. Are there any vicars left?)

But this new arrangement of opening a cupboard and not having to catch what falls out is very pleasing. I might try it in the kitchen. While I’m there I may even cull the spice rack for out of date spices.

Wooo.

(The saddest part is that I really like organising stuff, even if I can’t be bothered to keep it that way. I honestly think I’m untidy so that I can tidy. I’m sick.)

In other housekeeping realms I decided I would add a link to my flickr page and in doing so managed to delete my links – never do geek stuff when you’ve had too much wine – and so they’re back but I cannot for the life of me get them to look any better right now, so please accept my apologies. (Yes, I know..typepad, I should have… I know…but I’ve got the domain and it’s all set up and I will not give in to technology.)

Also for people who subscribe with bloglines I’m experimenting with using an excerpt, because it doesn’t display my first image for silly reasons, but if it’s annoying to click through let me know and I’ll stop. I’ve recently started clicking through to real blogs again, because I like seeing how people present themselves and, as Florence said once, it is a shame not to see all the colours and all the little extras. I was feeling homogenised by the starkness of the interface, and I don’t think crafters’ blogs really fit into the category ‘stark’.

Enjoy the last day of the year tomorrow folks!
