Mid-week uncluttering

[fred_mouse]

What clutter has come to your attention today?

I've been putting off dealing with my sewing pile, so I'm off to spend a good few minutes sorting through and determining what is in there that I want to fix *this week* and then either rehome or start using. Goal is to find seven things that will each take 5-10 minutes of work, and spend an hour fixing them on Saturday.

I'm cleaning out my daughter's future bedroom. I should have done this a long time ago, but life got in the way. We hope to buy her a bed soon and we haven nowhere to put it right now because that room has been a storeroom for 11 years. So I started with her clothes. She's growing out of most of her 3T clothes, so I washed all of the 4T clothes and put those away. Then I bagged all of the 3T clothes in two bags: one to try to sell in my next yard sale and one to give away to our friend's daughter.

I need to move several pieces of furniture out of my daughter's room, so I need to make room for those in other areas of the house, We will be donating the last of my mom's holiday decorations tomorrow, so that will clear a shelf in the basement that I can move a big storage container with drawers full of craft stuff to.

That sounds like quite the project! Eleven years worth of stuff sounds quite challenging.

Sympathies on the growing out of clothes. I don't miss that aspect of smaller children at all!

Yeah, at one point, probably after my mom died unexpectedly eight years ago, the stuff in that room was piled to the ceiling because I had to cram most of the contents of my mom's apartment into my small house. Granted, the ceilings are low upstairs, but still, the room was packed to the gills. I've been cleaning it out off and on for quite a few years now.

Ugh, I know. At least we have a friend to pass along the outgrown clothes to, but she doesn't live close by, so I have to store them until April.
