I did it. I finally got everything out of my house that I had stored there. Except the bookcase. But maybe that can stay. Otherwise. Seriously done. It was such a strange journey to sort through years and years of papers and trinkets, stuff that I thought I needed so I put in a box on the shelf ages ago. It stirred many memories, some good, some bad. And the stuff was resorted into trash (I don't know whatv this is or why I have it), Goodwill (someone else may need this trinket that I no longer have an emotional attachemnt to), or rebox and store (this thing completes me and while I won't see it for another few years, I cannot live without it.)

 

I learned a lot about myself. I learned that I keep a lot of paper just like my Dad. I also figured out that because I keep things, other people like ot give me things they themselves don't want to throw away. I attract things. But I already have too many things. And I think I'm suffering from too-many-things-stress. I think it's really called clutter-stress. But it's real.

 

I am going to be a minimalist in my next life.

my lovely harrods baubles. my stepmother used to collect them, they only used to produce a certain amount of them a year, so were pretty exclusive. but then harrods started mass producing them for tourists and they weren't the same :-(

 

anyway, when she had a declutter, i inherited them. i'd like a purple and a green one too, at some point.

 

'bauble' for the SH

I've wanted a new desk for quite some time, but really can't justify the expense when the table I was using is perfectly good, aside from just not fitting the small computer nook too well. Therefore, Darren and I looked around at what we could use to build a desk, and came up with this; two sheets of plywood fastened to two chunks of fence post with some very long wood screws leftover from an older project. We set it on two old nightstands. We keep thinking of ways to improve on the design, but all of them cost money, so I'll just try this one out for awhile...

101 Steps to a Simpler Life

 

That seems like too many steps.

 

But I got the "sort your items into piles" part down.

 

A photo documenting one of my attempts to declutter The Room of Doom™ is included in this Goedecker's article on simplifying and going minimalist.

 

Remember when "minimalism" was a trendy thing? Yeah, my decluttering photos were insanely popular around that time.

Spring is almost here! I took a break from crafty photography, and hunkered down for the winter with various projects. It also encouraged me to sift through my craft materials.

 

A few years ago, I was handed a grocery bag worth of buttons (I love it when crafters think of me when they declutter). Around the same time I went to a vintage fair and bought the chipmunk and bunny cards. I liked the buttons on them, but I was mostly drawn to the cute animals. These were probably old cards that the vender repurposed to make the buttons more distinctive? If so, it worked!

 

The buttons are mostly Domcord, Streamline, Tiffany and Lady Fashion.

 

I did a lot of thinking this winter about how to use up all these up. I have lots of ideas, but it will probably take me years.

Very stylish swimming costume for the Chipmunk about town in the 20's.

 

Made as part of the KAL on Ravelry.

 

Completed as part of my DeClutter Session in July.

in my grungy basement. Makes me want to declutter and paint. (I realize this is my third photo in four days of the same subject. Lately, it's all I've had time for, besides work and the normal boring household duties.)

Just a simple shot, showing off my new hair colour.

 

I did a step aerobics class this morning, then went to town and traded in a million old games and my game cube as part of my mission to declutter before I move. Now I'm going to lie on the sofa for the rest of the day :D I was going to go to the beach but it's raining :(

3. Don't Procrastinate

4. Get back to sewing and quilting

5. Take less pictures, and learn more about techniques

PERSONAL FUN FACT: All the way back in 2004, I unearthed a 1980 Lemon Meringue dress in a bin of dolls Colleen and I found at the local flea market. Back then, I had no idea whom this dress belonged to. What I could conclude was that it wasn't made for any of Barbie's siblings/affiliates. It was also on the older side due to the metal snap closures. Beyond that, I was entirely clueless. So you can imagine my surprise when I finally solved the mystery in 2011. I was trying to identify my childhood Bandai Strawberry Shortcake dolls when I started to see pictures of the vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls pop up. "Wow! Strawberry Shortcake dolls debuted in the 80s?!!" I thought to myself. This innocent online searched turned into major doll lust...perhaps some of the strongest I was experiencing at the time. After that, I kept my eye out at the flea markets and secondhand stores for any sort of vintage Strawberry Shortcake doll. Unfortunately luck was simply not on my side. I even remember ogling some of these dolls via eBay listings, hoping that maybe when I was done my Disney doll binge, I could get my hands on some of these old, scented cuties. Four years later, in 2015, this dream came true, and I almost passed up the opportunity. That spring, we had neighbors that were emptying out either their attic or basement. Everyday that was sunny outside, they would put a new load of stuff out on the side of the road for free. It was an easy way for them to declutter, without having to make countless trips to donate the items (and they wouldn't get thrown out). It was a Friday afternoon, when I went to pick Colleen up from work. I drove a little slower past this neighbor's house, as I always did, hoping to see treasure. But I was skeptical by this point--most of what we had seen leading up to this day was old Christmas decor and other home wares. I caught a quick glimpse of what appeared to be a doll house. "No, that can't be," I told myself. Why on earth would our neighbors put out doll stuff...it seemed to good to be true. I mentioned the doll house looking object to Colleen as we returned back home together. She was feeling much more adventurous than I, and wandered over to the house on foot once we pulled into the driveway. I was doing something inside the house, when minutes later Colleen returned, hollering at the top of her lungs. She ran down the driveway, waddling a bit, because she was carrying a huge box. She was out of breath, but managed to inform me that there was MORE doll stuff...some of which appeared to be vintage Strawberry Shortcake. Colleen had less knowledge about these scented ladies, so she hadn't grabbed more of the stuff, just the dolls she was sure of. Of course we immediately hopped into the Jeep and retrieved all the goodies. This lot was dubbed "Free Friday Finds" and it started my official vintage Strawberry Shortcake collection. This Lemon Meringue doll was one of the cuties from said bin, and one of my personal favorites. Unlike Strawberry Shortcake and Lime Chiffon, her face has retained its peachy color. She also has a thick, luscious set of curls too (well as lustrous as a vintage Strawberry Shortcake doll can have what with being so skimpily rooted). She's one of my personal favorites by far--I love her green eyes and yellow hair combo. Plus, I can sort of pick up on a lemon whiff every so often, despite how old she was, and the fact that she was rather musty smelling when I got her. I like her even more than her newer Playmates counterpart.

Full of gifts from friends...Memory keepers...Creative tools...Things that survived the declutter...

shuffled some things off the top of the cabinet, moved on some white vases that michel got me for my birthday.

Decluttering of the dining table.... [Herenstraat, Tuinstad Staalwijk, Leiden, 4/30/2017]

All the craft supplies things I'm getting rid of.

Top row: fake flowers and feather boa -> dress ups box; embroidery threads and fabrics -> rest of my threads and fabrics; a stack of CDs to be made into coasters -> cases and labels removed; tulle ->appropriate fabric box.

 

Bottom row: cardboard tubes -> kinder; tapestry canvas -> eBay; shoulder pads -> bin!; bag of rubbish (old cross stitch patterns and instructions, 45 cards of left over cottons from old projects, etc) -> recycling and bin; cross stitch kit -> eBay.

Decluttering in progress ..

The east wall, Ikea shelves carry scores of baskets with plenty of craft goodies.

 

Covering this shallow pantry with matching doors saves the storage and declutters the kitchen.

Crazy stuff going on IRL... Not sure if I'm even going to have classes this quarter. Something messed up with my fee payments. So bad >< Terrible terrible. *rips at hair*
