Farewell, Muppet Shelf

A major project of ours over this long weekend has been a gradual re-arranging and de-cluttering of stuff around our house. We'd like to get as much done over the next couple months before Jay gets too pregnant to handle piles of junk shifting around. Since the new baby will be taking over Ariel's current room, Ariel will be moving into our current "studio" room which has housed our computer, animation desk, sewing stuff and most of our toys. So this weekend we started by moving the animation desk into our storage room so it doubles as more of an office space for the occasional animation job. So another big feature of our studio room has always been our infamous "Muppet shelf" where we displayed our collection of the Palisades action figures. But of course with trying to conserve space, grow up and expand the family, we decided it was no longer practical at this point to have them all out as they were. Besides, they usually got too dusty. So I took some pictures for posterity before we packed most of them away. The shelf unit was moved into the new office space where it now stores the animation book collection and some videos. We kept the Swedish Chef set and the Electric Mayhem on the shelf for now, and may perhaps get out some of the others and spread them around in the future.

So it's been fun, folks, but it's time to move on...
