Studio cleanup

In order to kittenproof the house, I had to do some studio cleaning. Well, actually, quite a lot of cleaning. It took more than six hours of work to get to this:

I wish I’d taken “before” photos, because this probably looks messy to you. However, before I started, that table was piled three feet deep in Stuff, the area next to the closet was piled three feet deep in Stuff, and the space behind the dress form was piled two feet high in Stuff. Plus bonus Stuff on the computer desk, on the floor next to the lamp, and so forth. About a year’s worth of dust everywhere. (Nobody ever accused me of neatness.)
