Midweek check-in

 

Block #12 is Crossroads by Amber Johnson was posted Tuesday morning, and I went right to work cutting it out.  Sewing it took less time than choosing which fabrics to use.

I actually spent more time focusing on the decluttering yesterday than I spent in my sewing room.  A car load of things went for donation. And 2 garbage bags of old paperwork went to the trash.  Dave found a couple boxes on the top shelf in our basement storage area containing old materials from workshops and grad classes I was teaching several years ago.  I went through them all, but trashed almost everything in there - old handouts, course notes, and even 6 packages of dried out markers.  I couldn't have put those boxes up on that shelf myself, so I'm guessing he put them up there when I cleared out my office in a local elementary school and moved it all to my home office.  

I'm up to 114 items removed from my house - more if I had counted some things separately, like those packages of markers.  

Next week is the city wide clean-up week when we can put large items out on the curb for pick-up on our designated garbage day.  We've pulled a few items from storage that will be going out that day.  I can't wait to have some empty spaces.
