Today, up to my ankles in old software! The week's project is to redo the computer, including weeding out all of the old software that somehow just accumulates...
CY365: where i stand
This photo is the desktop after drawing the initial sketch, marking up the lines on the original 4X8' plywood, cutting straight edges, jigsawing curves, applying edge banding, and some sanding!
goodbye, Australia.
Flying over Sydney just after take off, on June 20th. I was sitting just behind the wing, so the blur you can see across the middle is from the jets!

Picked up a couple lamps from IKEA. I'm finally startin' to slowly declutter this office. Picked up a Logitech VX Nano mouse as well.

Sideboards:
Declutter your dining room with a functional, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing storage solution: sideboards! Since most sideboards are designed to house primarily china, stemware and silverware, in addition to any mundane necessities, such as bottle openers and coasters, you can be assured that you’ll always be ready to tackle any last minute entertaining. The sideboard, however isn’t limited to storing dining essentials. Take advantage of the many drawers and shelves built into most sideboards and use to store extra miscellaneous supplies.
Another view of edge banding. I was less careful with the bottom side of the desk surface for obvious reasons.
2 shot blend in photoshop. Captured just before sunrise. Wish I had more time to wet the stone tiles down, but was busy trying to declutter. :/
This is a very thrifty/upcycled bag. The only new material used was some thread. The hedgehog was from a pattern that I found in a thrift store magazine. The doily it is stitched on was given to me by a friend, who got it from the thrift store they volunteer at. The buttons were from another friend. The yellow and red fabric was from a friend of a friend, who was moving and had to declutter their craft supplies. I'm very proud of how it turned out.

A Victorian inspired swimming costume for Snuffle. Complete with bathing cap.
Made as part of the KAL on Fuzzy Mitten Toys forum.
Started as part of my DeClutter Session in July.
bit.ly/1hPpbRsDuring my school years I remember being an easy target because I was picked on a lot by the other kids. It got harder and harder for me to go to school, but I finally finished high school in 2007. I had no future plans and remained home with my family for the next three years. I spent most of that time on the computer playing games.
My mom and I talked and decided it was time to call and get some professional help. I got involved with Community Mental Health and they helped me create a personal plan to learn better social skills, think about my future plans and to make money.
When I came to Goodwill Industries of St. Clair County my life started to get better. I felt more comfortable and began making friends and receiving a steady paycheck. I had good supervisors and great co-workers that helped me come out of my shell. I learned janitorial duties and how to assemble parts in a production workshop
Goodwill taught me how important it is to be on time, how to follow a schedule, how to get along with others and to improve my communication skills.
I was honored when my co-workers elected me to represent them in our monthly client delegate meetings. This was an opportunity to address everyday work concerns with Goodwill board members and staff. I felt like I was an important part here at Goodwill.
As my self-esteem increased, my counselor suggested Goodwill place me in a short-term work trial at a local grocery store to see if I was ready to work in the community. I was so happy that it went well.
Not long after, I was able to find work at a local grocery store in my community. I was hired part-time as a courtesy clerk; my duties are bagging groceries, back stocking and getting grocery carts. Presently I feel my life is so much fuller. I have higher self-esteem and now enjoy meeting new people.
At my job I receive a weekly paycheck. I have opened my own bank account, and am learning to budget my money. In my free time, I enjoy reading and shopping.
Because of Goodwill, I now feel confident about making future plans that I never dreamed of. I plan to get my driver’s license, go to college and study computers, and to live on my own.
Hear more stories from people like Kylie.

Day 45: Sun Feb 14
I love having fresh flowers in the condo. They add a certain brightness, cheer, and life to the space. Flowers motivate me to declutter and clean so I can have a magazine worthy home.
Valentine's Day is definitely dominated by roses... and while I like roses very much, I have to admit that I adore baby's breath. Humble and delicate, baby's breath reminds me of raw beauty - like picking wildflowers in a field on a warm summer morning type of beauty - and I actually wouldn't mind receiving a big bunch of the little white flowers all on their own.
Anyway, it's late and I'm probably being more melodramatic than I need to be so I'll head to bed now. Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! If you're interested, you can read a little about mine here.
clockwise from the mini paint can: paint can pinhole camera (you can use 1/4 size photo paper), brownie reflex (dunno if it works), kiev (works, but the film frames overlap, medium format), pix panorama (panoramic plastic cam, takes 35mm), agfa box camera (dunno if it works), and in the middle is my lomo action sampler (plastic cam, takes 35mm).
Day 13. Today FlyLady asks me to do one of Kelly's Missions. It was going to introduce me to how to break our my home into zones. FlyLady promises, that this way we never have to spring clean again! Yay!
There will be a new mission from Kelly each day during the week for whatever zone we are working in. This week's zone is Zone 1- the front porch, entrance, and dining room. From these three we only have the entrance, so I chose the mission that made me clean up the entrance. Kelly challenged me to do this is in less than 15 minutes, but I think it took a bit longer.
I added notes for details and more info.
I hate that poor yellowish light.

Made as part of the KAL on Ravelry. Here Twitch is modelling a designer (me!) swimming costume.
Completed as part of my DeClutter Session in July.
Blogged in The Woodwork: CableBox.
I got two Cable Boxes from A+R Store to hide my cables in my home entertainment unit. We’ll have to see if this works out.
White is for the Mac stuff, black for the stereo and game consoles.
It's that time again.......time to get the house cleared of all the post Christmas clutter. There seems to be more than ever this year with all the boxes from Jacks new toys to be taken to the recycling centre.
It is one of my resolutions this year to get the house cleared of all the little bits of clutter that annoy the hell out of me and make it so hard to find stuff. I am a self confessed hoarder but I must admit I always feel a bit better after a good old clear out.
Try a built in wardrobe to help declutter your home with our hallway storage unit complete with fitted sliding doors. This black and white wardrobe with fitted sliding wardrobe doors is a great way to maximise space in your home, as well as being pleasing on the eye.
Decluttered computer cabinet and cleared up the cables. Attached two blocks to the back for easy plugging in of power-supplies.
it needs decorating & i need to make bedding & chair cushions & covers. *rolls eyes*
maybe now i can declutter her playroom a bit & spread things out over the 2 rooms.
i'm going to use the navy & red turtle & mushroom fabric in this photo for her bedding.

Trying to declutter our belongings at the moment. Books, clothes, boxes, cables, DVDs, CDs, cassette tapes (!)..........etc. Anything that hasn't been used over the last year will get recycled, given away, sold, or thrown in the bin.
Oh yeah, apologies for not visiting your streams. My work - home life is currently way off balance. Sigh.

Today’s items were gleaned from all over the house over the weekend. I combined the 2 days as we had been out and about. I had intended on concentrating on one room at a time, but as I was up in the loft I found a couple of bits and also some in the spare bedroom that I’m trying to tidy up ready for my 6-month old grandson to stay tomorrow.
From top left:
A giant Nemo balloon that has lost its buoyancy. We bought this for the baby, but the gas has nearly all gone and he doesn’t float any more. This I will have to pop and see if I can use any of the bits in my crafting. If not it will have to go in the rubbish bag.
A black panther soft toy. This I found in a bag in the loft. It’s not needed so I will give it to the charity we support for their soft toy tombola in November.
I also found the other soft toy with it, so that will also go to the charity.
A metal tin. Useful to put things in, but I have hundreds of such receptacles! My mum will have this, she’s always after more storage containers.
A babies’ names book. My daughter had this before she had the baby, and we don’t need it now. I will take this along to Oxfam.
A ‘chick novel’ – this has been read by me and my daughter, so we don’t want to hang on to it. I will take this along to Oxfam too.
A lavender bag that has lost its smell. It is made really nicely, but as it has no smell it isn’t much use. I will put this in the textile recycling bag.
A sympathy card with CD. I bought this earlier in the year as an emergency card, but I managed to make one so I don’t need this one any more. I will take this to Oxfam.
A velvet type scarf. This was a birthday present from someone a few years ago. I have never worn it as I don’t really wear scarves, so I’ll take it along to Oxfam as well.
A fun bag. I bought this in Marbella, Spain, as I needed something on the spur of the moment. Used it for one week then it got relegated into the loft. I will put this on Freecycle.
That concludes the weekend’s finds. A few more unwanted things gone from the house and it is beginning to look a bit tidier!
