In the attempts of keeping a clutter-free home (it's not working for me very well) I made a new rule...
Everything that comes into the home something needs to go out of equal or bigger size/volume...
It's working well..
A little while back I swapped over a useful box of Scrapbooking goods for unused/unusable items...
Then we bought a fan... So I (finally) have that amount of stuff (doubled) to give away...
But today I went further than that.. I've had a large packing box filled with sewing projects.. That have sat their for a year.. Or more.. Waiting for me to get stuck into it and sew and fix..
The passion I had to do these projects have waned and I wonder what was I thinking? These tiny scraps of 100% wool why are you still here?
I've come up with good ideas and have lost interest in them. So I've thrown them out!! or have them ready to give away...
By the looks of things I will now have a 1/3 packing box full of stuff that I'll throw out/give away in a years time..
Actually.. I have plans to sew all week.. So anything left at the end of the week? I think I'll throw out/give away too..
If I had a passion to sew years ago I certainly don't anymore... And so I'm giving up... Just another small part... Of who and what I wanted to be...
A mother who sewed for children and family.... :(
