It was looking so good. But I had to dump the three laundry baskets that had not been touched for years. The fabrics need sorted out by kind and type, evaluated, and either kept in inventory or sent on to other good homes.

Then I dumped the baskets.

The dark mass at the left is actually a pile of what I call “rag rug silks.” These are very rough silks that are woven out of either waste and/or the broken cocoons of silk moths that have survived.

So, global warming and goofy weather being what it is, summer has come to Sonora temporarily. With it has come a stuffed up head, and all the symptoms of inhaling too much very fine dust.

The sort out is waiting.

I’ve begun using thumbnails. Much like this one that accumulated in the spring cleaning. This is the dreadful cat bat. You probably consider it a velcro lint brush. If you click on the image you will get a much larger image.

The spring cleaning continues. The closets are looking better.

The left hand closet is better but the junkyard at the top is still a concern. The Hoffman Bali Batiques have been sorted roughly by color and tidied. More and more boxes are going to Los Hijos de la Vida. I’ll be giving you a hot link for this organization another day.

The dyeboard is actually almost clean. Progress comes at a price. Tomorrow you will see the price.
