Speaking of heavy machinery, this was a Christmas gift from my (27 year old) daughter:

The cleaning, sorting, etc was, of course, for my sewing room! To say that it was a disaster area fails to adequately describe the state of utter dereliction it had fallen into. After a day of concentrated effort by the two of us I CAN SEW IN MY SEWING ROOM AGAIN! Best Christmas gift ever!!!

BTW, "for-ticket" = certificate. A family joke from the days when certain words could not be pronounced by the children!

A quick scan by the Geo Phys team could be enlightening Or do you think dendro dating more suitable?

Guess it had gone beyond that critical point where even the male eye can see the dirt! :shock: Scary! - he was able to see the carpet underneath the stash

ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	Rosemary--that is what I have going now. The problem is my DH walked in my room the other day and the archaelological strata almost hit the floor. I keep telling him it is not safe for him to be in there. He doesn't believe me.

Margo says.....it sounds like all the "stuff" is stifling your creativity. Take the necessary time to organize the different projects so that you can enjoy working on the one that is calling your name today, and the others will be waiting their turn!
