Yes you did read the title correctly my laundry is full of snow. The washing machine has a nice covering of snow and I cant find the laundry detergent. Luckily I did a load or two of washing yesterday so we do have clean clothes.. Though, as I was doing the washing yesterday I remember wondering, if anyone else puts on a beanie and a scarf before doing the laundry????
I have written about my laundry before in a post aptly titled, “shit happens” .(go and have a quick read…) I could have my washing machine inside the house if I really wanted to. The bathroom is quite large enough and there is also the added benefit of running hot and cold water but I need the space for my pottery wheel.
I am halfway through a personal campaign that I have titled, “Operation Chaos”. The spouse has been somewhat lukewarm in his enthusiasm to build me a studio. The fact that we don’t have the materials or the money is neither here nor there. pffft.. The spouse also is obsessively tidy and a stickler for everything in it’s place and a place for everything etc etc etc.
I am lucky that Jeffrey loves me very much, a lesser man would have run screaming into the sunset years ago..
This is what you see when you walk in my front door. I was standing right next to my dining table looking towards the kitchen. Looks pretty chaotic to me..
The dining table is a lovely piece of pine that Jeffrey got when he helped a friend mill up some pine trees. He then turned into a gorgeous table that we are unfortunately not able to eat off at the moment because of operation chaos..
Operation chaos has spread to the loungeroom as well. Jeff also made the coffee table from a combination of macracarpa, myrtle and huon pine.. It is a really nice example of his woodworking skills. Such a shame that it is buried underneath an assortment library books, my tool box, underglazes and greenware.
I am sure that when Jeff comes into the house this is what he sees…
and maybe he wants to do this..
Operation chaos is working though. Jeff is going to put up some shelves for me in David’s old bedroom so that I can store my moulds, glaze materials and other assorted stuff out of our living area. When the shelves are firmly attached to the wall I will take some more photos of my unchaotic home..

I’ll never complain about cold in my laundry again!! lol
good luck with operation chaos! I have my own operation chaos to get into. I need to arrange my study so that I have a place for my craft stuffs. At the moment you can’t even get in the door. lol

If your sweet hubby is such a fuss about tidyness, you’ll have your shelves in no time!
I read the other laundry post, your laundry may have the most amazing view on planet earth, mine only sees the inside of the tumble dryer, but I think I’d want to keep doing it my way, ……. inside !!!

Geez, I thought my place was cluttered.
Maybe David’s old bedroom could become your studio?
wow to the snow..
YAY to new shelves being built..

LOL My washing machine is in the shed but I aint got snow to tramp through!
What you call chaos is really organised disorder 😉
I do solemnly swear I will never bitch about going all the way to the basement to do laundry…. EVER again.
But I SWEAR in a past life, I was you–or your twin. Your house, your chaos, your hand crafted tables are so familiar to me I can’t stand it.
could you actually point out the dining table in that picture for me….

ha ha ha!
that was fantastic
I’m glad I’m not the only one
us arty farty folk need our studio just like men need their shed – to store ‘important’ stuff.
(I really want one too!)
Um, is that a wedge of cheese on the book on the coffee table?
BAHAHAHAHAHAAA River.. It is a sponge that I was using to “sponge on” some underglaze colours to the shells that I am working on…
A teenager lives here so there is never ever any food just casually laying about.. lol
Snow! Wow!
Love your operation chaos!!
Casdoks last blog post..What matters..
It actually looks quite similar to Shortman’s bedroom. Well, without the glazes and greenware.
Rees last blog post..O’Horror Views
It’s a beautiful table.
What to say about the rest of the house? Could use a tidying, but ya know, your children are old enough to not eat off the floor. I’ll bet Amy’s visits are interesting though. Gramma rocks!
Mrs. Cs last blog post..Sweeping
store your washing detergent inside the machine. You’ll always know where it is and it will be protected from snow.
Good luck to your operation chaos. My partner is also obsessively tidy and will rant continuously until an area is fixed. All of us in the family have adjusted already. Lol!

I really was unable to tell which was your washing machine. I know. I’m pathetic.
