spring cleaning
In preparation for selling our house, I am running around like an idiot, shouting, "DECLUTTER!" and "This house is a product to SELL!" Last night I packed up a box of framed photographs and cookbooks and rearranged one side of the built-in bookcase using all those handy staging tips y'all pointed me toward. I am also sewing again after a long break, making curtains -- excuse me, window treatments -- for the kitchen and maybe the office. I am Martha Stewart, on crack.*
When I get in this mode of organizing and cleaning, it's hard to know when to stop. As a result, after I tired of cleaning the house yesterday, I decided to clean up my blog. Welcome to the new decluttered and wishing-for-spring version of Sitting Still.
(If you don't see anything new, hit Refresh in your browser.)
(And if you are reading on a feed, click over, you lazy bum.)
I'm still working on a couple of the pages, and the About and Blogroll links don't work just yet. My blogroll is enormous, but I love it and use it, so it's just getting reassigned to it's new space. In addition, I've added a cool widget thing (technical terms) from Google reader that lets me highlight the posts I'm reading from y'all that make me smile.

Ooh. It's refreshing! Although I do miss the laundry fairy. Maybe she's on her way to my house! :)

Oh, that springy graphic is lovely. Or maybe it's cruel, I don't know. But I like to imagine being barefoot in the grass like that. It's just that I then look outside and reality is so...cold.

I love it, love it!
When you're done with some of that Martha Stewart crack, would you pass it off to me? ;)

I just got home from Target, where I finally bought curtain rods for the window treatments I've been making since, ummm, Thanksgiving weekend.
And I'm very much in love with the grassy, flowery, springy look. Very.

Sounds like you have the cleaning and organizing under control. Somehow the organizing gene was alienated from my DNA :0(
This new look sure is PURTY. It is kind of a tease though. Oh, How I wish spring were here! Instead a Nor'easter is blowing our way!

Hey, can you start calling me jealous! Because that's what I am. I can't do fancy cool stuff with my blog. I tried, I cried, I quit. Boo!
