Once a Day Thing

 Many moons ago, I actually trod the stage 

in a high school musical.  One of the songs 

that sticks in my head was the , " Once a year day". 

Well, I think I may switch that up and try the once

a day , (more like a vitamin than a classic musical) 

and aim to remove one thing a day from my 

sewing room. That could be called forced Marie Kondoing? 

I didn't want to do the annual decluttering with 

"Just Get It Done Quilts" this year. 

I seem to be piling up rather than moving out.

 I would like to challenge myself to get clearing 

so I have more room to function. 

My rehoming box is in my work room 

and currently it looks like this!

There is a really good bag I can't bare to get rid of, 

some thread storage and a few patterns too!

I already see a few things that could be transported to another's

sewing or craft area! Who needs two identical hole punches?

I also have a neck light that has been used rarely and could be 

appreciated deeply by an applique wizard I know.

If I add this to my daily sewing room visits, I might find a 

routine way to help me tidy and decrease the weight of my

possessions. Please note, no fabric will be harmed in this

 undertaking!

Let's see where it leads.

 I have a friend who brutally rehomed

a number of items according to the calendar date!

 Very minimalist!

Too difficult for me to attempt! 

Happy Decluttering!

Declutter , Marie Kondo all together now!

 Well the declutter challenge has gotten under 

my skin and I found my self stuck  in the closet,

rummaging thru some candy and 

playing with sharp pointy things!!

Thank you Marie ( Kondo) and Karen ( Brown, just 

get it done quilting)!

So far I've done the first four declutter  tasks. 

Then I got side tracked by, gasp, sewing.

I have been managing to do some sewing every 

day and kept the buying to a zero!!

Then, getting ready for a trip, I had to inventory 

the deep freeze, and the kitchen freezer. Since 

the pantry needed a check too, 

I found some things for 

the drawer with the family chocolate/candy 

stash, and I  started straightening that out. The 

drawer bottom was looking ragged so I got out some 

paint and freshened up the bottom! 

 Some things were

from the drawer next door so that got the same treatment!

Barbeque skewers and turkey lifters are very sharp!

The drawers look good but I am way off task!!

The adventure isn't over and I got a bit back on the rails 

by needing my tweezers and sorted out my snips while looking!

Thirteen snips and counting, 

who knew they were such desirable items!

It looks good so now let's get stitching!!

Green squares are calling me and the chevron will not 

be finished up by sewing elves!

Stay safe and sew on!

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!
