How goes the decluttering? Have you managed to rehome anything? Find a stash of things that were no better than rubbish, and bin them? Clear out a stash and now have an empty space? Anything, small or large, physical or virtual, counts as a win!

I've been going through my fabric scraps boxes, and thinning them down. I'm allowing a specific set of boxes for whatever I keep, but getting down to that little is really stressful.

It took a few rounds over the years to carve down the fabrics in the closet. It isn't easy.

You could make some scraps into cabbage - finely-cut-up bits and threads that can be turned into stuffing.

I've done a couple of passes on larger pieces, this was the 'oh, but I keep tripping over those' pile.

Am resisting cutting things up -- I have a stash of stuffing bits that I've collected ~over 20 years, and I almost never use. I think I've made a couple of pin cushions with it!
