Post-Holiday Winter Project List

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


January and February are our hunker down months. Except for the daffodils, almost everything is dormant, and while we do get some mild days, it’s often too cold to enjoy outside activities. That makes January and February a good time to turn to needful indoor projects. Here’s what my list looks like:
Mending. I have a huge basket piled high with mending! Admittedly, our lifestyle is rough on clothes, and mending usually gets put off in favor of the garden and food preservation. This month I plan to start tackling that pile.
Kitchen. I can’t believe it’s been seven years since we finished our kitchen remodel. The initial organization and set-up was done with thought and care, but as the years go by disorder sets in, and I find myself analyzing how to organize better. Plus I have a lot of shelves . . .

. . . which in a 100-year-old house heated with wood means a lot of dust. Everything gets dusted periodically, but the kitchen needs a deep clean and I need to sort through the shelf and cabinet contents and reorganize. 
Front bedroom (currently our storage room). I actually made a lot of progress on our storage areas last summer, when we finished one more room of the house for my studio/sewing room. I did an initial unpacking and purge, and managed to reduce storage space from two rooms to one. I feel that it’s time to tackle that remaining room. 
One disadvantage we have, is that we don’t have a basement, garage, nor a readily accessible attic or crawl space. These are typical storage areas that we’ve had to do without. That means that during our slow repair, remodel, and room shuffle, we’ve designated rooms to use for storage until we get the house done. After 15 years, we’re down to one room! And that’s the room I want to declutter and organize this winter.
I confess I have an ulterior motive. 
My Glimakra floor loom

This loom was disassembled when we started renovating, and has been left that way for storage. At the moment, I don’t know if I can manage to carve out space for it now, but I’d really like to. I have a hankering to weave some rugs and blankets, and this is the loom to do it. The room won’t be finished this winter, but Dan said as long as he has room to work around the loom, it would be okay. 
So there’s my list. How about you? Do you have winter project plans, or maybe you just plan to take it easy. Care to share?
