unclutterHave you found anything unneeded hidden away where you least expected it?
I've done two things I'm pleased about in the last few days. The first is that I've crocheted up the four tag ends from the all-but finished most recent blanket project into the centres of Granny squares. Two of these I've also edged! By the end of the week, I should have edged the other two (I'd have done it today, except that I didn't have the right colour yarn with me) and sewn in all the ends! Preventing clutter before it happens.
The second is working out how to combine the large objects in two cluttered areas so as to give us about 3 square metres of floor back! If I can get that done in the next two weeks, I'll be on track for inviting people over the first free weekend we'll have after the kids' extra-curricular activities stop for the year. Tonight's task was to collect together all of the pieces of paper on the small table that has to be moved, and sorting them into 'bin now' and 'needs more attention'. Between that and sorting the mail/other recent paperwork, I filled a waste-paper basket!

Date: 2018-11-14 08:44 pm (UTC)I've been getting rid of a ton of books this year (almost 150 physical books, plus I deleted a few e-books) so I've run out of room in my Bookmooch and Paperback Swap inventory container. I just took 10 books out to put in the Little Free Library next time I go there.
Finally, I've been weaving in the ends on the knitted and crocheted cat beds I've made over the past year or so (both a destash and do something nice for kitties projects). I do one or two beds per day. Once that's done, I just have one or two more beds to make or finish, then I can take them all at once to donate to two different rescues. I will have 11 or 12 beds and I'd like to donate them around Christmas time. I also have a bag of cats toys to wipe off and I'll be donating them at the same time.
