I just finished up another eight hour day on that big painting job I mentioned in my last post.
Looks like we're closing in on the finish line of Phase 1 and soon I may be able to share some pictures of what we've been through.
Today I used several plastic grocery sacks as paint-tray liners, so I thought I'd share with you the most recent system I'm using to keep the sacks orderly until I need them (to line small trash cans, paint trays, etc).
Several years ago, one of our 'adopted' shoots showed me how his (real) mom folded them for storage, which I thought was genius and implemented immediately.
I liked the simple half-knot solution because it made it easy to grab just one bag and they took up less room than when left unfolded/tied.
Last week I stumbled across a fold I like even better (you can watch the how-to here, although, believe me, I am not that particular when I fold mine).
Now the bags take up even less space.
That is nice for storage reasons, but it's also great because I like to put several extra bags underneath the ones I'm using to line small wastebaskets; that way I'll have a new liner handy whenever one gets full.
You, Dear Readers, may be way ahead of me on this one, and it's quite possible you don't even care about such a small thing.
I, however, like to get as many small things as possible in order, so I'll have time and space for the big things.
If I can ever figure out what they are.
