Declutter Challenge

 Jumping on the declutter challenge with 

Karen Brown at Just Get it Done Quilting,

I am making very good progress.  

Take out the trash was day 1, easy and 

fast. Day 2 not so good, but cleaned out the 

squatters.  The cutest is the little gnome. 



It was supposed to hold reading glasses 

but didn't work as well as planned. 

Then a large and empty water bottle and 

an empty photo /window frame.There was 

even an extra monitor lurking. I decided to 

cast to the television if I want a really 

large picture. The monitor was also too old 

to do anything but mirror my screen. 

I'm still working on day 3 & 4, magazines

and books.  I have so many books that 

I have to spread them out on my wall of 

shelves to keep the wood from bending!





A big stack is tucked by my bed for night 

reading and purging.

Still working on books and magazines. 

This challenge may turn into 

weekly instead of daily. 

There just isn't enough hours in the day. 

Here is my progress so far. 






A goodly pile of books and magazines

 for donation or sharing.

A very good gleaning from the start of the sort.

I did "rediscover" some really good finds here.  

Since I can't keep up with the daily sort, 

I'll be putting a check list on the side bar

with the list and tick it off as I go. 

There were a few categories I sorted 

out during some rainy days this summer! 

I did bags, (not one of KB's categories), 

scissors & cutters, (I didn't do snips tho, I have a 

weakness there), and quite a few household 

categories! Spices, toiletry extras, and a cleaning closet. 

Now I am going to get back to sewing and planning some

Rainbow scrapping for the year!  The next few

days will be stay home days since we are in a 

deep freeze here. Got down to 43 below last nite. 


The display on my car actually told me to 

plug in a heater , too cold!

Stay frosty and sew on!
