Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What have you found to unclutter this weekend? Or is Easter a significant family or religious event for you, and thus you have been busy elsewise?

Myself, I've been at a science fiction convention since Thursday. I've managed to return an item or two to friends I don't see often, and left some crafting items in the family entertainment room, but other than that, nothing. And I have brought home many many exciting books. Including at least one that won an award tonight!

Well done on getting organised enough to return items to friends at the convention. Leaving extraneous craft items in the family entertainment room also sounds like a great idea -- I'm sure the kids enjoyed them.

I haven't done any "deep" decluttering this weekend (partly because the weather has been miserable, so it's ruled out a lot of things), but I have made sure I'm on top of the regular stuff, like sorting the recycling, clearing out my email inbox and other digital clutter, and putting things away that had accumulated on surfaces during the week.

Sorry to hear that the weather has been miserable. Well done on keeping on top of things all the same!

It was a good weekend! I cleaned out the linen closet and reorganized/condensed some things, threw out some things, repurposed a thing, and gave away a thing.

I dyed a shirt that's been laying on the floor for a while, so now I can wear it.

I put many things in the recycling bins and the donation bins, and a few things in the handmedown box. Spouse returned a thing to the store. AND I'm sending 4 things to friends this week, so I'm down to one small padded envelope! Donation bins and recycling bins will be dropped off later this week.

Otherwise I've been organizing the knitting--and I found some patterns to use some yarn I've been holding on to for years. It's good yarn and I don't want to use it for something silly. I want to make something with it that's useful! And I had the pattern all along. In other news, I've been using up my yarn stash well enough that my self-imposed yarn diet is officially over, and I can buy again.

Wow, that sounds like a very busy and productive weekend! Congratulations.

I love that you found you already had the right pattern to use for that special yarn -- and that you've used up your yarn stash well enough (and kept to your yarn diet well enough) to be able to start buying again! I hope you find some really great things to buy and enjoy using.

Lots of wins there, congratulations!

Especially the knitting, and the end of the yarn diet. I hope that you find lovely yarn to add to your 'current projects' :)
