Tommy's Rebuttal

 I, Tommy, must offer a rebuttal to yesterday's outrageous posting. First, I am a pet therapist with an overwhelmingly needy client who has apparently become delusional. But more to the point, the images you saw yesterday are a hoax and the result of a MASSIVE cleanup because my client did not want to audition for Hoarders Buried Alive: Quilters' Edition.
By just seeing the sewing room, you may not have realized that fabric in hunks of a yard or more are stored in a separate room...what would normally be considered "the little girl's room" because of the pink carpet and walls. 
Art books (including quilt books) are in another room...what would normally be considered "the boys' room" because of the blue walls and carpet. Of course, framed pictures are left leaning in a pile against the wall because otherwise they might be decorative.
And finally, let's look behind the design wall in the sewing room. As you can tell, this could easily become a dark pit of despair except for the MASSIVE cleanup of the last few weeks. But now I am forever thankful to Vicki W. for spurring such a cleanup and hopefully she will make this an annual event.

You're welcome!

P.S. I have my own blog at tripodtommy.tumblr.com where I give much needed fashion advice to shelter cats.

Thank you Tommy for clearing that up for us! I bet you were awake all night worrying about it all...

Vicki W said...

Aha! I knew that your stash seemed kind of small. Thanks Tommy for forcing out the truth.

Aha! Busted! (Good thing my two doggies don't know how to use the computer.)

Thank you for two days of fun & laughter!! Needed at this time of year. I love how you have organized your fabric "chunks". What a great retirement resource fabric stash/quilt book idea storage you have. With the current price of fabric-- I can justify my smart investment plan that took me a few years to acquire!! Give Tommy a tummy rub for me

Thanks for the view behind your design wall! I was wondering about that! Oh, and so cool that you have bears as neighbors!

Oh thank goodness!! Let's start a hoarders group. We won't go to meetings because we'd just go shopping and buy more.

So now we see the real extent of your stash of fabrics and books!
Amazing that you have the black bear as a neighbour.
