My new aim is to reduce it to a 55L plastic tub and keep it at that.
The packing box now sits empty and I like it like that. I can hardly believe how much garbage I've had to look at daily for the past year (it's been kept in our bedroom).
Last night I made myself a skirt from a pattern I picked up at a garage sale 3 years ago with a heap of others for $1. I think it looks really nice and it actually fits so I'm extra chuffed at myself this morning.
On today's list of sewing projects is fixing 8 baby bee hinds modern cloth nappies. These things have taken me a year and a half to get to.. I tried awhile back to get them fixed up but they are the most fiddliest left out of the 11 I had to fix up.. (not including the 12 I fixed of a different brand)... Or the 12 I have left to do.. (tomorrow -Wednesday's goal)..
Tomorrow I will Attempt the 11 fitteds that need new elastic.. It's easy done but theyve waited a year and a half too.. What a waste :(
I think I'll start a new rule.. Only purchase stuff if I have available time to do it NOW so things don't sit taking up space for over a year..
If I get the two above lots done.. On Thursday I might upcycle some wool jumpers into longies for my two nappy wearing kids..
Hopefully it will be completed by Friday and I can pack away the sewing machine for another year..
Just kidding..
ETA @ 3:30 I've finished the baby bee hinds so they are ready for use after all this time.. I am really stoked they've been crossed off my list. For the rest of the day is dinner prep and house cleaning.. And dealing with attitudes..
I forgot we had swimming lessons this morning so I had to go out :( but the kids were blessed by it..
