I'm very aware of the new Bratz craze. I have two granddaughters, 11 and 9. But Bratz will NEVER replace Barbie! I have a small collection of Barbies. About 20 assorted and then my Wizard of Oz collection. I also have a Wizard of Oz collection of Beanie Babies. And my sister Jackie, gave me a "Tin Man" for my birthday! He's made of cans and has an oil funnel for a hat and he is so cute! He's supposed to be an outside Tin Man, but I have him inside, where he really belongs!
As I've worked on my sewing room I keep finding things I'd forgotten I had. I have some great fabric! And some wonderful books and magazines. I spent way too much time last night looking at some of my Martha Pullen Sew Beautiful books. I love christening gowns as much as I do my quilts!
I finally managed to get a space clear enough near the wall to hang shelves and put my Wizard of Oz collection back up. I've missed them. Most of my Barbies are on my bookcase and didn't have to be put up, but my Oz collection was on a quilt rack that I'm moving. So... Glenda, Dorothy and friends were packed for a week or so. I really missed them!
Now, they're hanging next to the Tin Man and about half of my fabric is neatly refolded and put on new shelves. ALL my quilting books, including my Martha Pullen books, fit on one of the bottom shelves of my new wire shelves. Whew, that was a sentence!
I have achieved partial floor! Now, if I could just find my scissors....

Maybe you should forget the scissors for a bit while you fold fabric and arrange things. They will turn up just when you need them.......
Hi
I saw your Tin Man and I too have a Tin Man, I made him when I was in university, in Art Class.
We had to do some recycled artwork and because I was doing Education teaching I decided to make a Tin Man, I just love The Wizard Of Oz.
I am also glad to see that my sewing/craft room is not the only deshevelled one.
thanks
