Tackle It Tuesday

Janice created Tackle It Tuesday back in 2006 over at 5minutesformom.com to help her dig herself out of a houseful of clutter. This is how it works

Each week on Tuesday, we are posting before and after pictures of a project or trouble area that we tackled this week. The project can be little or big – whatever you want.
Basically, Tackle It Tuesday is about giving ourselves incentive, deadlines and satisfaction in getting our household tasks done.
(It doesn’t even have to be housework… just whatever is on your To Do list.)

I thought this was a great idea and could really use some incentive to help get some projects done.

For today's tackle I am working on turning this




into these so that I can start listing them in my Etsy shop.



They are called a Child's Coloring Wallet and they are the perfect size to keep in a diaper bag or purse for when you are on the go and need to keep little hands busy. They would also make a great gift for your special little one. They will come with 8 crayons and I will be finishing it off with a pad of paper.


You can check out my shop here and I will have these listed in the next couple of days and you will be able to see the different fabric choices.

Here is today's problem

Just looking at it, it looks like a pile of junk but underneath this junk I have tried to carve out a little space in this small house for just me. I wanted it to be like a craft center where I could place a couple of cool crafting machines that I have that won't fit anywhere else.

Like this

and this

and this

These things are there in that picture you just can't see them and I can't get to them. This part of the counter has always had this problem. I had thought that when I put the cool (not to mention expensive) equipment there that it would not only help with the piling of junk on it but that it would also motivate me to keep it clean. Well you can see with your own eyes that is just not the case. So for Tackle It Tuesday I am going to make it functional again. After I get it cleaned up I will post a picture.

Well today the problem is that I am out of town and this is what I will be doing.



the trip will take me 4-5 hours depending on the traffic or me getting lost which just might happen (cross your fingers or say a little prayer that it doesn't)

I'll update and let you know how it goes.
