Weekend uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What, if anything have you picked to unclutter today?

I spent time in the front hall, working out what is going to specific people, and what isn't. A few things have been moved to the 'must post' pile, things going to (or back to) local friends have been grouped by person, and a lot of the rest of the stuff has gone in a box to go to the op-shop. Including a few things I was hoping to do something more sensible with. Which means Wednesday, I'm of to the op-shop again, but this time I'll have to resist the call of the bookshelves.

A lot!

I sent five screen/lens cleaning clothes to various friends (and I still have several left in my possession!).

I cleaned up the storage bins, which resulted in a few things into the trash.

I listed a thing for sell, offered a thing on fb that has been claimed, and offered another thing on fb.

We hung pictures this weekend! So they aren't gathering dust and dog hair!

I cleaned out my closet and dresser a bit. Not as much as I wanted, but I still like and have occasion to wear many things left. I need to get tougher, since I just bought some more shirts!

Does anyone else have a plethora of wire hangers in their house? Just me? I took 20 or so to a dry cleaner! The lady told me they recycle them, which I hope means reuse, but either way, the hangers are gone!

I mended a skirt before I HAD a mending pile. No sense in waiting for a large pile.

Whew! And the day is still young here...

WELL done

Wow! I'm particularly impressed by the hanging of the pictures, and the lack of mending pile because you fixed the only thing needing mending.

If I get as far as the art supply pile, I'm going to try to cull duplicates from that.

[alexseanchai]

I could donate to local schools art teachers probably?

[fred_mouse]

That is an option -- also any out of school care groups might be interested.

I just posted three craft books on book swapping sites. I weeded them out on Friday because I have a craft book on its way to me and didn't have any room for it in the storage ottomans I use for craft book storage.

Bc I'm a bad person: what books? I might could take them off your hands :)

One book is already spoken for. The others are Better Homes and Gardens Rug Making (1978: hooked, crocheted, knitted, woven, and braided rugs), American School of Needlework Presents the Great Christmas Crochet Book (1982), and Better Homes and Gardens Gifts to Make Yourself (1972). I also have a heat damaged copy of the Big-Ass Book of Crafts 2 (it was sitting on a radiator and the back cover is de-laminating, plus the pages got wavy).

Three for one swap sounds like good progress.

Decluttered a bookshelf right in my line of sight, which has been driving me nuts. There were 15-year-old preschool phone lists, recycled it all!

Well done! I hope the lack of clutter is calming, and each time you go past it you get a sense of accomplishment!
