Hi Everyone!

This is your check in for Saturday 9th November. Have you found something to declutter? Made a plan that you can implement later? What is today's decluttering win?

Open to regulars, drive by commenters, and lurkers alike!

One damaged byond repair book binned, two more duplicates in the to go box; a ball of yarn identified as scrap has been added to yarn for a scrap project. I would like there to have been more, but it is what it is.

Chipping away still counts. :)

Adding to this on the right day: I also moved a plastic box into the closet and filled it with woollens for storage over the summer, folded the quilt the way someone mentioned on here a few days ago, moved a box half full of shoes (these are good work shoes, they don't need to be in the entry way while I'm not working, so I've moved them out so there is more space there) in front of the quilt, and generally fit more stuff up in a space that gets used only for storage.

I worked on decluttering throughout the week and managed to purge a few things, like a lot of old clothes hangers, one slow cooker (I had two), extra packing cubes for luggage, two coffee mugs, two collapsible cups, two plastic chopping boards (I will replace with either glass or wood), bars of handmade soaps (I prefer liquid soaps), and the biggie, I decided to part with two pieces of my stainless steel, copper bottomed Revere Ware cookware. A large saute pan without a lid and a small saucepan with lid. The small saucepan is a duplicate and the saute pan has gone unused for a long time. Kinda hurt to part with them, though, as they are good quality.

I also purged my clothes closet again. If this works, here is a photo of the result. A few clothes were in the laundry so it's not everything, but pretty close!

Love a good spacious closet. It's so much easier on the mind.

Looking great!

You reminded me and I put away two half-filled notebooks, and put a sewing kit out to be moved into the sewing bin. Those were previously on the 'sort it out later' pile.

Any progress is good progress!

My kid is back for three weeks and she spent several days with her partner clearing out stuff from her old room. (Six thousand miles is such a long way, thank goodness for video calls.)

Yay for having them clean things out! My youngest isn't quite that far away, but is planning to move back in with us, and I have hopes that their room will get sorted a bit when they do.
