The decluttering bug has hit me again…it happened at the same time last year so maybe it is just the time of the year?
Whatever it is, I have been decluttering around the house the last few days…
the first thing I wanted/needed to do was the sewing room… All the fabric that I use was piled on a chair next to my desk which not only made the room look cluttered and messy but the fabric was wrinkled and hard to find also…
So.. on Friday I went out in search of a bookcase… and I found one… I didn’t pay much because it was the floor model which was a bonus because then I didn’t have to assemble it either…
So on Saturday I placed all my fabric in it, got rid of some stuff that I won’t use and cleaned up my sewing table… I also fixed the little office chair that I was no longer using because it was not too comfortable and was burried under all of the fabric… and at the same time Simon decluttered his clothes which are in the sewing room also…
Yesterday when making the beets I also decided to declutter my pantry… Now that feels good also…
I still have a lot to do in the house but I hope to tackle at least one thing a day and get the house to a level that I feel comfortable with…
Annie will be proud 😉
Aw, I really am. *sigh* *gush*
It must feel so good! I’ve been doing a little of my own decluttering here but of course that’s a year round job. I put a whole bunch of vhs movies on my community bookshelf. All have since been “borrowed”.
I’ll tell ya, it’s hard to declutter when my neighbour/transient alcoholic living in the toiletless basement next door and paying $400/month to do it keeps bringing over bags of clothes and stale food from the food bank. ie. yellow leather knee length skirt. I have no idea why keeps doing this but there are three *big* bags sitting out there on my front porch as I type.
It feels so good doesn’t it? I’ve been doing the same here, mainly because of the babies. I can’t believe we’ve managed to avoid every rummage and craft sale in the area for the past few months! I’m trying to abide by this rule: if one thing comes into the house, one thing (or more) has to go. People have been so generous with giving us stuff for the babies that it has become a little difficult to manage!
