Okay, I have now found a couple storage tumblrs (though if anyone else can rec me one I'd appreciate it) and gotten some good ideas for some DIY projects for Old Hotness, which still needs a name. Most of this along the lines of storage organization, but some of it is also just cool repurposing shit. If anyone has an idea for a thing or a DIY project to store both hook and stud earrings, too, I'd love to hear it. So far all I can think of is an earring tree, but I can't find a really nice DIY pattern and all the storebought ones are kind of bleh. Well, most of them. I also need to figure out how the fuck I'm going to refinish my crafts table. Isn't there some kind of spray-laminate you can use that people use to cover their penny floors/desks/things?

Packing is definitely going to happen this weekend. Packing and getting rid of shit. I need to put my foot down, or at least have a serious talk with the boy, about things like the Hoyle games CD for Win 3.1 or whatever it is that we've had for years that we really, really don't need anymore. Along with a few other things that just need to be tossed. Actually, mostly, we just need to go through that.

This has all resulted, of course, in me bouncing with energy and needing to CRAFT ALL THE THINGS. Which goes right along with yesterday's WRITE ALL THE THINGS in an utterly unproductive way. I actually also suspect that if I'm not careful I'm going to hit mania, possibly upswing bipolar type mania, and hypergraphia all at once from lack of focus and excess of energy and the culmination of months of upheaval and never knowing when it's going to end. So, self, this means you have to be careful. Got it? Good. No new craft projects yet, and if a brilliant idea strikes, write it down. There'll be time. There are no impending crafts deadlines, only writing ones. And those aren't all that impending either. I need to take a breath and just remember to keep notes in a couple places for great consolidation, and then slowly work on projects one at a time. Come on, self. Also, stop trying to schedule shit in the future, you know what's coming up. Nanowrimo. Yuletide. Be reasonable.

(This rarely, if ever, works. But I can at least try to put the brakes on.)

At any rate. I've done German and shipping, and now it's time to get back to filing and other more immediate do it or it'll rise up and drown you type tasks. Because... well. Sometimes I really do need to put the brakes on my brain and stop trying to do everything at once, and breathe. This is definitely one of those times. I also kind of wish my guitar weren't packed, that's awfully settling. But maybe knitting will help, too.

If the problem with storebought earring trees is the look of them, you should be able to DIY something over that. If the problem is the underlying structure... I got nothin, but I'll keep an eye out.

*mouthscrunch* Mostly, I think, the underlying structure... I don't terribly _want_ an earring zoeotrope. Ideally I'd get something that looks like a wire tree, but then I don't know what to do with the studs. Trying to think on it.

Pinterest is a good source of DIY/storage/whatever projects if you know what you're looking for. I've had luck just searching for something and browsing through the pins for projects that look promising. There's also Ikea Hackers if you plan of making any Ikea purchases for your new place.

[kittydesade]

Ooooh I shall have to get in on that, then. You don't have to join to search, do you? I'd do the Ikea thing except I don't think we have one in the area. Or the state. Maybe.

[oldandnewfirm]

Nope, no registration required to search. You only need one if you want to save your pins (IE favorite links), which will be handy if you end up acquiring a lot of them.

Theoretically you can order Ikea furniture online, but the shipping cost doesn't make it worth it. It's like they took all the savings you'd make in store and built it back into the cost of sending it to you.

[kittydesade]

Woo! And that's what my grand House organization gdoc is for, so, no worry on saving the links.

Yeah, I noticed that. Pfui on them for that, their furniture isn't bad. Even if their store is odd and full of meatballs.
