PP’s Playroom
Well, it’s time to face the lion’s den: PP’s playroom. I’m scared, Mommy!! Hold me!
The outlook, going in. Or should that be the inlook????
Nope, no sound, I forgot! Sorry! I will get better at this, I promise!!
You’re right, if you think not all of that is PP’s!! A lot of the closet turned out to be mine, and DD1’s.
DD1’s memory box, and some clothes.
Rubbermaid tote.
My purple suitcase. But not empty, as DD thought!! Surprise!! Smart fabric stash!
Plus 2 books.
My Grandma book, to fill with info about me, for PP, and CC to read later! And my small wedding album, from marrying Bobby. My lost love, who’s in heaven.
And now, more room, for more fabric!! Don’t even think about it!!
Fold ’em up!
I knew I had more of those fabric squares!! Found ’em finally!! I couldn’t proceed with the twin’s quilts till I did!!
The big blue bag, was mixed clothes, girls’ and DD’s.
So since they’re never used, the toddler beds can go, as well as the pool. They are both so tall, both couldn’t sit in there at one time!! And I’m not gonna try to make them take turns for that!!
Not sure what we’re gonna do with her buttons, and marbles yet. I know we’re keeping ALL her rocks!! She’s been collecting those for 3 years now!
Probably won’t remember to take a video of her clean room, or a pic either. Because by that time, we’ll be gone! 😉

‘Viro Video Version
I already posted pix of XH cleaning the ceiling fan.
This is the full story, in living color.
Enjoy the Video ‘viro version!
I’m so thrilled that I finally learned how to youtube!! Thanks, DD1!! And Stella has been a tremendous help to me in the tech dept, as well. Also, thanks to SF! Without him, I wouldn’t even have a computer to work on! (Which is now fixed, I just need to get a new connector thingy, so I can get back on the net. ARGH!!)

Machine Match
I forgot to tell the story of what happened in between Tasty Tuna Two, and Quilting Quagmire,
Okay, so there I was, with no foot on my machine!!
A very important part is missing!
Help me, Bella!!
Ya can’t feed the fabric with no foot!
I looked in my sewing box.
Nope. I looked in the drawer the box was in.
Nope. I looked in the purdy purple jar.
Nope.
Very discouraging!! Aha! Now I remember! XH had found it, and said, “Don’t you need this??” So, he knows where it is!
Nope. He said he handed it to me. {sigh}
Tragedy!
But, then it hit me, I had another Brother!
- Another Brother, from another mother!!
So, I cannibalized the new one, for the old one! Because the new one was from next door, when my neighbor died (at the MHP), and her daughters didn’t know where the cord was. So, hopefully when I have time to learn the new one, the cord from the old one will fit!!
So, then we had to try to make it fit. My fat fingers got in the way. (Also, I was afraid I’d jab myself with the needle! I have sewn thru my finger before, so my apprehension was well warranted!)
Thankfully, XH made short work of attaching it. At long last, I was ready to sew!! Hip hip, hurray!!
I wonder when , or if!! I will ever find the original foot????

Judicious Jewelry Jet
Last week, after my nerves had settled down after Irma, I needed to do a quick purge of something!
So, I looked around, and decided to grab my jewelry box. Which I have not even opened since we’ve moved here, back mid-May!
Here it is: Inside:
So.Many.Things.
Such an appropriate slogan!
An overwhelming pile of junk stuff. Ok, ok, let’s separate it into categories.
Earrings:
All the purples!
All the sparkles!!
How many sets of ears do I think I actually have????
Other things:
I don’t wear necklaces ever, so….
Whoa!! Whaaaaaat??? Just start with the earrings.
Okay, deep breath!! Strawberry earrings, 3 pairs exactly alike; so I can probably get rid of 2. Good! A brand new pair, with magnet, that have not even been opened!! That I’ve had since 2011!! Guaranteed I will not miss them! And 1 single. Jet!! I don’t do singles, and certainly not posts anymore!! See ya!
Now, out of ten items, only 2 left. Excellent!!
Next!!
2 shamrock sets; I can only wear 1 pair at a time, and St. Patrick’s Day is only once a year, so 1 set has to go. Shoo!!
All the sparkles!!
I don’t like the pink ones, because they snag. And I’m just over the others.
Whew! Those were all pretty easy to work thru. But, Dun Dun DUN!! Now here comes all the purples!!!!
- All the purples!
10 pairs of purples, to be exact.
I hope I can do this without crying!!
I let them all go. Say what??
I let them all go…..
And I didn’t even cry!!
Next! 
These pretty cross ones were made for me by DD2. Not going anywhere!! The light bulbs are my only Christmas ones. Staying!
Next!
Melinda, I just wanna tell you, ya’re doing good!! I’m proud of you! Thanx! I appreciate that!
Huh, well, easy enuff, be gone!
These are tie pins, so technically jewelry, I guess??
Honor roll pin from high school??? college???? I didn’t even remember I had it, so no pain to let it go. DCT pin, I know is from HS. Don’t even care now. Bye! And tiny baby feet, to protest abortion. I will keep 1 set, just not both.
Next!!
Charms:
- I don’t wear necklaces ever, so….
The purple heart, and the strawberry can go. The 2 pix charms, I have larger sizes of both pix, so they can go. The HS key?? I’m keeping, because I lost my class ring, so this is in lieu of that.
Now onto more misc. stuff that is not jewelry!
The clear cover is to my seam ripper. It will go back on there, so I don’t lose a finger! Scissors will go in sewing stuff. Ya think?? Foreign coins are from Mama. I care nothing about them, and she cares a lot! So, back to her they go! The amethyst I’m keeping for now. And the angel is from Bubba, so she stays too.
I forgot about 2 other pair of earrings, till I was scrolling thru my phone, but I got rid of them, so no pix necessary.
NOW: Introducing my new and improved jewelry box!
- My new jewelry box!
FYI, jewelry bottle might be more descriptive.
I purged so hard!! I really am proud of myself! Numbers gone:
Earrings: 46/56!! Charms: 4/5 Tie tacks: 3/4 Coins: 2/2 Misc: 3/5
58 outta 72 things gone!!
And as Jen says, “I never have to touch them again!”

Purse Purging
(More info about Irma stuff, when I can get the pesky pix to load!!)
That time of year again; ye ole annual purging o’ the purse. Since I have a fairly small one now, it could probably be bumped up to biannually, at least!
*Gasp!!* An orange purse??? PurpleSlob, are you sick??
I know, I know! No one I know can believe I bought an orange one!!
Here’s the pix of this go round. Start.
- Da dark depths of da dungeon. I mean purse.
1 lonely earring. That I’ve only worn once, cuz I hate intensely dislike the colors. (Well, I brought them to coordinate with a shirt, that then I got rid of too, cuz I don’t like those colors. DUH!)
- 1 lonely earring. 1 piece clear trash
How many purple pens do I need in my purse??
1 lil, 2 lil, 3 lil pens!
Hint: probably not this many. And I definitely don’t need the orange one! No matter what color my purse is!
Receipts, mostly trash. Except the one for rent, and the one with survey code for free Wendy’s sandwich!
- Mostly useless receipts.
Some more VIT= very important trash.
DD1’s credit card, to get gas, in Vanronica. Yeah, that was pretty much purged immediately, back into her hot little hand! (DD’s, not Vanronicas’!) But honey, it was orange, and I just couldn’t see it against the lining of my purse!
DD1’s debit.
2 things hand sanitizer. Since one is Norwex, guess which one is being purged??
Who’s hands are the dirtiest??
I had previously purged the useless, long, skinny strap:
Useless, long, skinny strap: gone!
Finally, we’re down to the lining.
- Yucky mess! (So what else is new??)
Cleaning the lining will have to wait for another day. I’m bushed! Lol.
