I'm a genius! Look how I replaced clutter with my plant from the window sill! srsly, very proud of myself. I would never have thought how much work it is to declutter even a small kitchen like mine. but very gratifying.
When those nostalgic things no longer bring you great joy you don’t need to keep them around.

In a bid to declutter, came across this little note from a dear friend on a party bag. The bag may now be gone, but the memories will live on!
This buffet is original to our 1925 house. Unfortunately, the upper cabinets come down to low making the counter space unusable for cooking. I need to declutter this area and possibley hang up a picture by the window. We've tried to hang plants in front of the window, but they keep dying.
Day 10. FlyLady says: "Today we are going to learn the power of just 15 minutes. This is all about getting started and giving ourselves permission to stop when the timer goes off. You can't restart the timer. The timer helps to keep us focused on what we are doing."
I continued from where I left off yesterday. So, I'm still in my carft room, working my way around the room clockwise.

There's my hubby's camera bag again. I put it on his desk yesterday. We obviously need proper places for our camera bags.
In a white box there are toys from my childhood. I want to buy a good box for them and go through them before I store them.
Photo 2:
In a transparent plastic box there are some toys, which are in current use, but "on hold". We don't keep all the toys available for the kid all the time, but change the available toys every now and then, so he won't get bored with them. I dusted and reorganized the box.
Photo 3:
It looks a bit better now that I decluttered the area and put all the blue boxes in one pile instead of two.
Those boxes contain all kind of stuff from the craft room. I started to reorganize the room ages ago and got some sorting done at the time. I have to go through those boxes again, so it will be easier to continue the project. They're not going to stay in the room after I have finished.
FlyLady continues: "Then set your timer for another 15 minutes and sit down and put your feet up and read a favorite magazine till the timer goes off."

About 25 years ago, the photographs were left to my parents in a Will by their next door neighbour of 30 years. At the time I said I'd look after them. Decluttering the attic I found the box with them all in. Many of them were taken in Norwich photography studios. I'm trying to date them as there's not much information on them. I guess they must be late 19C. They are not being added to the declutter pile. I'll carry on looking after them.

This is a cool place in San Francisco with a beautiful backyard garden that the agent wanted showcased as much as possible. I know this is a bit crazy wide, all the way out at 17mm, and it leaves quite a lot of open space in the middle. So what was I thinking? I wanted to show the garden from this angle, and wanted to showcase that wall of windows and those French doors. I pushed the dining room table off to the right (it's on that carpet there) to declutter a bit.
Lighting:
An umbrella over at my far right illuminating the sectional and the area with the fireplace. One OC flash straight up giving me some good foreground light. I was also holding one light way up over my head which I think I had zoomed in on that fireplace, but can't remember for sure now. I've been doing that more and more to throw some needed light into dark corners, and it's working well for me in general.
It was difficult to see. It was difficult to work. I lost my ability to drive. I lost my independence. The center of my pupil was going, and I finally learned it was an eye condition known as Occular Histoplasmosis. At first it was the right eye, then the left.
After accepting my new condition, I found a support group and learned to read braille. I learned to maneuver my new world with a walking stick. I traveled to Columbus, Ohio, and received my first guide dog, Albert. In due time, I decided I wanted to go back to work.
I came to Goodwill® following 10 years without employment, and joined Goodwill’s® Community Employment Program. A part-time receptionist position opened here at Goodwill, and I applied for and secured the position. Since then, I’ve worked my way ‘up the ladder’ and am now a full-time assistant for the employment services department.
The job doesn’t come without obstacles. I use special technology in order to process the department’s records. Regardless, this is a job I truly enjoy.

The surgeons said I was extremely lucky to be alive. I didn’t feel lucky.
My troubles began in February 2006 when I was assaulted and stabbed by someone very close to me. I suffered major damage to my right lung and arm. It took many years of physical therapy and a dozen surgeries before I would regain almost complete function in my arm. About a year and a half after the stabbing, at the age of 22, I discovered I had breast cancer. I was very fortunate it was discovered early and the cancer was easily treated with surgery and radiation.
Fast-forward six years.
I had working with the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) without much success due to my seemingly never-ending health problems. I felt depressed and without much hope. In August of 2012, my counselor from the DOR called me asking if I would be interested in a Work Adjustment Training program through Goodwill ~ Redwood Empire. At first, I was confused—I never thought Goodwill was anything but thrift stores. I was so desperate for work, just to be up, active and doing something, I said yes!
It has been almost a year now that I have been working at Goodwill Industries of the Redwood Empire, and my confidence has never been higher. I truly love coming to work every day. My story has been one of healing and self-discovery, and I feel my coworkers at Goodwill have been behind me, supporting me every step of the way.

The core idea behind the Marie Kondo method is that clutter takes up very much of our physical and psychological space. The KonMari method urges people to only surround themselves with stuff that sparks joy for them and get rid of needless household items. This act of decluttering will create more space for energy and thoughts to flow and bring joy and harmony. In our effort to recognise how the KonMari method can be applied to the context of household cleaning, tidying and decluttering, we brought an informative video by professional cleaners who offer detailed house cleaning in Melbourne.

A junk removal trailer stands ready for business, proving that even clutter has a place, just not in your garage!

I brought a few 'blooms' back from my late mothers garden, (she died last April)....she'd always have a vase of Camellias in the house as soon as they started flowering...
we are in the process of clearing and selling her house....and within the next month or two....what was a family home for over 60 years and a hub for all the family will be gone...so...emotional times ahead...but nice to know a young family will be making it their home soon.
This process has taught us all a lesson...declutter your homes and your lives now!! It's amazing how much 'stuff' a person accumulates over the years!!
I've already started!!
textures thanks to Tóta and PaintedWorks.
i have heaps of icons on my desktop so sometimes when i write, i need a super blank page inc. the background.
so i just create a new empty folder, and let it fill the screen, like a backdrop or curtain. whew! no more clutter to distract me.
2000 words to go, ouch.
I had forgotten I bought this a few years back at a dollar store until now, when I was trying to declutter a bit at home.
So I don't really know much of anything about sergers. But now I have one, thanks to the desire to declutter that a fellow non-sewing crafty friend had as she came across this serger sitting in the back of her closet for several years had. She'd talked to me a couple of years about sergers and I'd talked about how I thought it would be easier to do linings on a serger but I wasn't sure that I wanted to invest in one. She said "I've got one I'm not using. I'll look for it and give you a call." And she did when she finally came across it yesterday. So it's used, but it's only been used a few times and it hasn't been used in years. So a nice cleaning and maybe an oiling and a test run on scrap fabric. But I'm excited. I think this will make working with ripstop easier so I may actually be able to turn some of the ripstop I purchased into reusable shopping totes like I planned. And after looking at a quilt recently on MovingHands Flickr stream with seams exposed, I've got an idea for the flap of a messenger bag that I think will be easier to make with a serger. Now if only I had time to sit down and play with it for a week to really get to know it.
The “Shadows Left Behind” is a collection of photographs transformed by artificial intelligence to digitally invert permanence and ephemerality. Appealing to the aesthetics of absence, this collection reveals what is disappearing around us, spurs reflection on what we will soon miss, and declutters our thoughts to reawaken imagination and agency.

I choose to photograph this one because of the lady's unusual hairstyle and the name of the photography studio - Chic Photo Co.

There’s no such thing as too much makeup, or so they say. All of us can relate to that situation of finding all kinds of makeup items stored in bins, makeup racks and bags. The overwhelming feeling of having too much and not knowing what to do with them takes over. Ever wonder why you…
