Keep On Keeping On . . .
Why did I buy all those leaves last summer/fall?
Really - what was I thinking?!
The Guest Room stand:
A close up of that top shelf:
Two shelves of the Sun Room stand (which is currently in the kitchen because the CHRISTMAS TREE is still not put away . . . ). There's plenty of room here - at least for a few days, because . . .
. . . here's the basement stand. Top shelf, second tray from the right - I still have all those to pot up. And that domed tray? Leaves that weren't quite ready to be in the real world yet and a couple of crowns I had to restart. And to tell the truth, on that second shelf, a few of those pots have multiple plantlets - I want them to get a little bit bigger before I split them up.
On that second shelf, far right - plants in that tray will be going to Windy City, and the tray second from the left has plantlets for a friend of mine.
So, I'm making progress, but please, will someone smack me the next time I mention "more leaves" or "going to an African violet show?" The violets came before the yarn - I mean, I've been knitting since I was little, but I didn't acquire the huge yarn stash I have until the past four or five years. This collecting tendency is giving me pause this morning.
I know, those of you who are not rolling your eyes and saying I have a screw loose, are probably looking at the upstairs stands and thinking, "What's the big deal? It looks like there's plenty of space on those shelves." Well, yeah, for now - all those babies are going to GROW. At least that's the plan. And the majority of them are standards. On a 2x2 foot stand (those upstairs are that size), I can get probably four normal standards on a shelf - five if they are on the smallish side. They like their own space and are not happy for long touching each other. Can you visualize the chaos in a few months yet?

A Quick 2012 Goal Update
You might recall that one of my goals for 2012 was to have my office sofa cleared back off by February 1st . . .
This is looking like a fail. I don't see this getting cleared off tonight when I have a tray of living things dow in the basement that must be dealt with sooner rather than later. So - I am updating this goal. I'm giving myself until March 1st. Cross your fingers. :-)
