Day 41: Nope. Not gone away yet.

Emily wanted to stay in the city for her birthday tomorrow.  So let it be written, so let it be done.  Ultimately, I was in no mood to try and pack the car and drive in this heat anyway.

So Monday is organizing day.  I didn't take any pictures before or after today because I filled the car and took about 5 medium boxes of stuff to Value Village.  It wasn't particularly visually interesting.  And just in case you thought I was a champion getter-ridder of stuff, it was my mom's car not the van.  The van was in for servicing (and expense...).

So I did organize some stuff.  I did enough sorting to realize I've lost an envelope worth of stuff that I needed.  Grrr.  This is the thing about a messy house that gets me crazy; when I can't find what I'm looking for.

I decided to do a bit of artwork to give me something to take a picture of...

This is a 'Curler Unit Ball' from Trash Origami by Michael G. LaFosse and Richard L. Alexander.  It is made up of 12 identical forms folded separately ( Kusudama).  I'm not sure what I would use it for but it was interesting to make.  In general, I prefer origami to make something useful - I already have too much stuff.

P.S.  Why, yes!  That is Barbara Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns.  I found it today at the Value Village.  You've been looking for one forever?  Oh dear.  I'm sure they didn't have a second one.
