For some bizarre reason Spring always brings out the worst in me. Time to clear out the clutter (along with the dust & cobwebs) & minimise things somewhat.
I like my clothes grouped so that I can see what I have at a glance. I've found if they get messy, I forget I have stuff - which perhaps points to the fact that I have way to much stuff, stuff that I dont wear.
A weekend spent with visitors & kids saw my tops & jerseys from my dresser sitting unsorted on the bedroom floor. How did they get onto the floor? Valid question.
The arrival of some new glass last Friday found me feeling a little overwhelmed, I had packing & posting to do, custom orders to photograph, listings to get up on Etsy & drawers emptied when the surprise parcel arrived. Some new glass to test. YAY!
After much thought, some really good advice ( something about throwing clothes - and ending with "After all, we know us beadmakers have our priorities in the right order...") & not expecting to have the next 4 days with this house being a mini version of Grand Central Station, I hit the torch. That night as I went to jump into bed I realised that it was covered with the contents of my drawers, so I placed all of the piles on the floor, & there they stayed until today. Oops!
I really do need to go through them & GET.RID.OF.STUFF.
But what did I do - placed them all back into the drawers. I'll minimize next week. Might do the wardrobes too...

Cleaning...yuck! I have piles on tops piles at the moment and I keep ignoring them to make beads. If I think about it there are are about a dozen t-shirts I wear and I mix an match them with about 6 pair of jeans. Yeah, there is the occasional "dress-up" but I think I should throw our about half my closet. Maybe that's the key to cleaning....throw it all out!
ReplyDeleteHi mum, I'm trying to minimise but so many handy things to buy, maybe i shall have to make kerry get rid of her handbags.....
ReplyDeleteArgh! If Deb can't sort things out, then how can I expect to succeed at it?? By the way, you should always, always, always make beads if given a choice :)
