more-ganizing

i have got a LOT of keys. it's true. i have extra doors with locks because of the 2-family. i have spare keys to other people's houses b/c i end up house-sitting pretty frequently. and, i have a pretty large set of keys that go to locks i'm not sure of. so, i got this idea for a key organizer from a martha stewart book and i decided to slap it together right quick. this goes completely against my nature to agonize, deliberate, plan, measure, and finally postpone any project i undertake. but, i realized recently that these are hallmarks of perfectionism, which is a trait i thought i had outgrown long ago. so now, i am practicing the art of doing things badly. as my dad said recently, even if it's wrong, just DO SOMETHING. ah, that Joe D. he is so wise. that reminds me that Tommy has taken to calling us Erin and Joe, as in "Erin and Joe took me to that picnic," and "Erin and Joe, look
what i can do'. this simultaneously delights and terrifies me. i NEVER call him Joe - to his face.

  1. ERIN! This is gorgeous. At my house I have a little pretty teapot that I don't use for tea, but I use it for our spare keys, therefore, it is affectionately called the KEYPOT.

    I love your board.

    I am undertaking my own GOP this summer, its quite all-consuming. I'm making a Goodwill pile, an Ebay Pile, and a Trash pile, in addition to resorting reshuffling, and rediscovering a bunch of cool stuff I forgot i had. Good times!

  2. once again, I am impressed with your craftyness! and your "just do it" attitude! I am starting to stock-pile lots of ideas in my head.. but few have come to fruition-- keep motivating me!
