Bad weather

No big complaints here. We are so spoiled. We  encountered bad weather not very often, still when it happens we will discuss, talk, complaint...for days. We forget our friends to the north, those folks really get hit hard, a lot. My shop front porch was destroyed by the high winds, can't put anything of value there. My water lines froze, thank God no leaks. This is how the outside looked after the storm.




Now, brace for this one. This is how the inside of the store looked after a storm named Marta's Insanity.





Ok, I am coming clean after showing you this. For weeks now I have been using  the move as an excuse for my mess in the space I have reserved as a checkout area. It is a tight space, 8x8. Week after week my costumers got to see the worst mess, disorganized, there to see, rats nest of a space, ARG!!!.
Last week I decided to make the most of the time, having no costumers coming because of the bad weather. I sort, organized, trash, almost killed myself working kind of time. I love the results, more so because I turned the space into an efficient machine of a craft room and checkout. It looks pretty good, it will not get a post on "Where women create" but I'm pretty happy with the results. Those pictures I will leave for next White Wednesday reveal. So make sure you come back then. Blessings, Marta.

WOW Marta,
That is crazy what the storm did.
I too, tend to let my check out area get out of control. I usually have to spend 3 solid days to get it back to presentable fashion when I open in April. Never look forward to it but sure do love the end results.
Would love to see a picture of the finished results.
Hugs, Amy (Mom to the Four Sisters)
