Time for More Marie!

Yes the new year, new beginning and 

thoughts of decluttering, sharing and organizing! 

Karen Brown at Just Get it Done, is running a

decluttering challenge for most of the month of January. 

Inspirational, but I am marching to my own set of

drums and just doing what every falls off a table or shelf! 

 My first victim of the year is going to be, my rotary cutters!

I have.... yes count 'em , eleven!

Two of them are kaput, the yellow 45 mm Olfa on the right and the 

blue and pink 35 mm komfy cut on the left. 

I am not sure why I was keeping  them, ever hopeful I guess. 

 

The holes are worn and the blades go fafump fafump when it rolls. 

I salvaged the center posts and screws and 

the plastic will be recycled. 

 

 

I am not really thrilled about the burgundy Kaicut either. 

It is heavy, and has an automatic blade guard, variable 

pressure lever but I just don't love it.  

Also leaving is the grey handled 28 mm on the right. 

Who needs that many tiny cutters?  I do not. 

They will be the next guests on the "leave and take" table 

at the guild meeting.  It acts as almost a lending library, 

you leave things, take things and sometimes you 

bring them back and leave them again!

The remaining cutters will be distributed 

around my sewing area for convenience. 

 

One will land in the small sewing room on the 

peg board.  Sewing during zoom meeting and messenger 

sew time with friends or even trimming while on the

 

phone is a great use of time. Others will end up in the to go

featherweight, retreat tool kit and out in the workroom. 

My current favorite is a the 60 mm cutter. 

It resides right on the work table, or whereever lots

cutting and trimming is happening. It can buzz thru

layers of scrap piecing like nobody's business.

Next up : Scissors!!
