Once Easter Ends... the Dust Bunnies Get Evicted

Time for Spring Cleaning!

Now that Easter is over, it's time to get full swing into cleaning out the house!  This being my first home and my first Spring cleaning, I am oddly excited.  Everything from Dusting the ceiling fans to washing windows it exciting me (until I start doing it I am sure).  But first, a plan must materialize:

First things First:

The Plan:

- Finish all laundry, fold and put away
- Iron remaining items
- Store away all fall and winter clothing (space saver bags)
- Empty out cupboards of food and supplies
- Throw out old outdated food
- Vacum and wipe shelves
- Put away food
- Wipe down counters and mop kitchen floor
- Clean bathrooms, including drawers and cabinets
- Clean the toilets and tubs, mop bathroom floors)
- New sheets on bed and store away flannel and fleece (winter) bedding
- Find misc. items under beds and in closets. Either find homes or throw out or donate
- Go through books and movies, donate unwatched movies and unplayed games
- Clean windows inside and out
- Wood clean floors (kill all dust bunny armies... leave no survivors)
- Personal Goal: Empty all items from unused master bedroom and clean room to the point of having the ability to purchase the bed set for this room with tax refund.

The Timeline:

Although this looks like most lists people have online, the timeline is always key.  I hope to have this all completed in under 2 weeks.  Starting today with the laundry and iron to dos, we shall see how I progress.  It is almost impossible to fulfill these goals exactly how you want, but if I can get 2/3 of the items done on this list I will be one happy camper.

As it is, the dust bunnies are taking over and frankly, I think my one cat was taken prisoner.

Wish me luck, and good luck to everyone and their cleaning goals this spring!!

Easter is Coming - Egg Time!!

Time to get cracking... hm... poor choice of words....


Now that I'm out of school, working as a lawyer, and in my first home... (updates on those to follow in the next few weeks), it is time to get the egg factory underway.

Etsy shop not open this season... Read on for ordering options...

I have been both dying eggs, trying out nw designs, and making sure old standbys are available.  However, because I have so many new responsibilities, my Etsy shop will not be open this season.  Instead I am taking orders at craft shows, my e-mail (christine.luschas@gmail.com), personal request, and store consignments.  Those avenues are already too much for me to deal with.  If you really need an egg or want something special please contact me one of those ways.  I check my e-mail daily.



Recently I decided that my blog has been neglected so long I need to try to make a monthly post about anything.  Maybe I will even clean my house and try a DIY project from Pinterest in order to make it on the site with a photo of my own.

In the meantime, I am signing off with a wish of good luck for all those egg artists out there working away until the end of this month.  I will try to post again before Easter is over!

Back to Blogging

It has been a long time since I blogged. Between graduating from law school, taking the bar exam, and moving, I was too busy to get anything done on here. Now I am in the new apartment, working on drafts for shows almost every weekend, and waiting for the bar exam results. It is not the perfect time to blog!!!

Recently I got into making cards more than before. Mainly because I now have a craft room!! I'm so excited to have a room devoted to me. I use it for crafts and for office work! As a result, I was able to spread out my card "crap" and have been making lots and lots of new cards. I currently have about 55 waiting for new homes. Hopefully thin October 15 craft show will be a place where several of these little guys find a new owner.

This was just a quick update to show that I will be trying to blog much more regularly!

Happy crafting!!
