It's just so true about the surroundings. Currently,it's still beautifully ordered in here as the Elves and the Study Tidiers come in every night and have a scoot around. I'm just worried what will happen when somebody else's study calls.

I've had a good clearout of mine recently, and found all sorts of little treasures, including a tiny yellow duck in a stripy hat my grandma knitted for me years ago. <br /><br />If only they would stay tidy forever though!<br /><br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-1944191921835721182013-03-06T15:17:19.212+00:002013-03-06T15:17:19.212+00:00Thanks Antonia, and sorry the Google demons got yo...Thanks Antonia, and sorry the Google demons got you :( I'm not sure the project felt that exciting at the time but was so worth it - I'm still on a high a couple of weeks later.

It felt totally wrong so I double rowed my husband's books and did a strange lego like wall of my books instead so that I could see all the spines but have felt funny about it ever since because I like neat and uniform rather than neat higgledy. I am now just going to go down stairs and double row them all which will make me feel so much better. Well done for finally getting it all done. Your desk looks the perfect combination of enticingly tidy and organised with a few interesting things to stare at when your mind starts to fuddle.xCatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13781807672539321691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-42732495320942116192013-03-04T00:49:44.037+00:002013-03-04T00:49:44.037+00:00He he, I would love to, Yolanda, but I'm afrai...He he, I would love to, Yolanda, but I'm afraid I'm all out of 'sorting' skills at the moment, I used up a decade's quota over the past few months ;)<br />Thanks for popping in!Jackie Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186723392553752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-28923484725653972942013-03-03T22:58:06.853+00:002013-03-03T22:58:06.853+00:00Wonderful accomplishment!

The only problem is blog came so fast after the previous blog (don't blame you, it is good to share) that I didn't quite get in on time to comment on squashing and sqeezing which did make me think about taking things for granted and not valuing what you have got so am going to say it now! Having lost my previously unacknowledged sense of balance a while ago (happily now returned) I realise that you shouldn't take your oh so valuable senses for granted and I truly do appreciate all of them now.
