Back in late August I took the first stab at organizing Bjarki’s stuff in his room<\/a>. \u00a0One important part of this organizing was to label his toy buckets so that it would be easier to find toys and tidy up. \u00a0Having all the time in the world, I decided to make my own labels for the buckets I’d managed to sort into<\/a>, knowing full well that I needed to buy more buckets and make more labels later on.<\/p>\n

Of course ‘later on’ dragged and dragged, and it wasn’t until 23rd September that we made it to Ikea to buy more buckets<\/a>. \u00a0The day after, Bjarki was to host his friend after daycare. \u00a0Bjarki’s room was pretty much a disaster still, with random toys littering most of the floor, so that day I finally sat down and SORTED ALL OF HIS STUFF into buckets. \u00a0Finally, the floor was clear, and there was even space for the small table and chair we’d evicted from Anna’s room the day before.<\/p>\n

Bjarki’s room, seen from the door. This picture was taken on 10 November 2012, but the room has looked pretty much like this since 24 September 2012, which is a new record in tidiness-longevity!\u00a0You can see that not all the buckets are labeled though… there are 15 labels missing! \u00a0(In reality, only 14 are missing, one labeled bucket is facing the wrong way…). \u00a0One interesting change, which seemed inconsequential, but turned out to be pretty important: I swapped the floor-rugs around, so that the car rug was closer to the actual wheeled toys. \u00a0This meant the car rug got used more, while the cars traveled less distance away from their ‘home’ and were thus easier to put away.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bjarki’s room, seen from the window, with the little table and chair. Both pictures that hang in this room were made by J\u00f3hanna, my sister-in-law. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0And yes, both children effectively live inside Ikea<\/a> commercials.<\/p><\/div>\n

So yes. \u00a0Well over a month after the final ‘sorting’ took place, I still hadn’t gotten around to taking the pictures to make the remainder of the labels. \u00a0Obviously I needed a good kick in the rear-side, so I was very happy to get a call from P\u00e9tur, my brother, asking to borrow my 50 mm lens for some school-work. \u00a0Yes, the very lens that I used to take the original pictures. \u00a0Lo and behold, magically, a couple of hours before he was to show up, I set up the gear, made the white background by taping together a bunch of A4-sized sheets, and shot away!<\/p>\n

Here is therefore the full set of toy-bucket labels, in mini-form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Phew! \u00a0That’s a lot of labels! \u00a0And a LOT of toys!!<\/p>\n

Now I just have to print this stuff out, and do the last little bit. \u00a0I hope that doesn’t also take more than a month to implement!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
