I'm following your movie watching strategy every night beginning tonight from now until Christmas. I'm also going to have to create a master cooking/ baking list.

I know exactly what you mean about putting on something mindless while working...I can't tell you how many dresses I've sewn and pies/cookies/jams/cakes I've made over the years with "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea" playing in the background! Now, doing that combined with your brilliant paint-by-wall strategy that you just posted about, 2013 promises to be a very productive year!<br />Love,<br />Tracey xox<br />P.S.

I often have projects that take more than a day and this is such a fabulous idea to keep everything corralled.<br /><br />I often watch a movie,YouTube or episodes of Gilmore Girls while I'm working on something. It passes the time especially if it's something mindless or really repetitive.<br /><br />You always have such great ideas!<br />Manuela@A Cultivated Nesthttp://www.acultivatednest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642174337877516716.post-25056237724556997902012-12-13T19:06:10.010-08:002012-12-13T19:06:10.010-08:00Lorrie, you painted such a cozy, serene setting......Lorrie, you painted such a cozy, serene setting...I can just picture it...the knitting takes it over the top!<br />Love,<br />Tracey<br />x0xTracey McBride ~ Frugal Luxuries®https://www.blogger.com/profile/03043055986653442733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642174337877516716.post-60890480138783040912012-12-13T19:02:08.332-08:002012-12-13T19:02:08.332-08:00Happy Holidays to you LTDN!
