mid-week uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

How goes your decluttering?

I spent a lot of the day trying to get books sorted. One duplicate is in the box to go, and I have about three others to sort out which copy I'm keeping.

And I cleaned out the fridge. I got rid of a set of tasty brines/vinegars that I've been planning on using for risotto/polenta, because I'm just not cooking that kind of thing any more. And I got rid of a daikon, which I bought with the intention of making radish cake, but I can't find my recipe. I'm counting that one to 'abandoned dream' in my bingo card, because I really really want to make radish cake (less important now that I've found a grocer that carries it in the freezer section).

I cleaned out my fridge yesterday and I'm still rinsing the containers today. The fridge looks empty now, so there will be room for the salads we want to make next week for U.S. Independence Day.

I also got rid of a few more books yesterday and I have a small pile to look through today. I should be able to get rid of at least 100 books this year- my goal was only 50. I'm at 64 of my own books gone, plus I deleted a few ebooks, and I got rid of a few of my daughter's books too, so I'm at 84 books total now.

And finally, I'm hoping to use up some baby yarn by making dresses for my daughter's baby doll. My little girl's birthday is next month, so I'd like to make her thrift store doll some clothes.

Good work on braving the depths of the fridge and cleaning it out. Sounds like you're making some great progress on the books, too. And I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled if you can use up that baby yarn by making clothes for her doll.

Doll's clothes are such a wonderful gift. One of my mother's friends did that for me when I was little, and I cherished those clothes.
