The Rustle of the Leaves

The wind of change are blowing. Again.

This one, however, was not actually prompted by me. I have had to put a temporary hold on Travelling Tails, while I move to a smaller place. Hopefully, it's just for a few months, but who knows!

So, in light of my diminishing living spaces (and to distract me from the sadness of no longer hosting), I have been focusing my attention to finding ways to storing stuff more efficiently and practically.

I tried to make a cat hammock (this inspired me), but I failed - miserably! I had the idea to use metal hangers, since they suck for actual clothes (and were left by one of the previous roommates), and of course, I hate getting rid of stuff if I can use it! I did, however, find a way to make toilet paper storage look cute!

Let me tell you - packing up/organising a house while it is being renovated, having 2 December birthdays, AND having Christmas be around the corner - is a lot more challenging than I would have thought! It's basically a mad dash to get stuff into a box before it gets caked in dust, or accidentally wrapped! I was dusting off and cleaning everything before it got packed away - which I guess is good - but it also felt like triple the effort!

Once all my stuff made it into a box (or the back of the van), it was nice to be in my own space. I already miss the potential of hosting guests, but I am always open to friends coming to stay! (hint hint!) 

Now that some dust has settled, I am putting my energy into maximizing the oddly shaped closets and shelves (which are all crooked and teeny!) So if you have any DIYs or miracle space saving tips - send 'em my way!

Stayed tuned for Travelling Tails' next move!
