Quiltathons and Stay At Home Retreats
Lots of fellow quilters out there quilting their little hearts out. And what am I doing? Decluttering. I am pretty certain I will have a new job that will take me out of town during the week so I am trying to get my house in order in such an event. Friday I had 4 lawn size trash bags full of junk and then some odds and ends put out for the trash man. Maybe a kitchen bag. After today there are at least 5 lawn size trash bags, 4 or 5 kitchen size trash bags and boxes sitting on my driveway awaiting the next pickup. There will be more and my trashman will be cussing my name!
I am going to try to get a little sewing in tomorrow as I think I need a break. We will see what the morning brings.

Don't worry, you weren't along Swooze, I didn't get much quilt making done, but made 8 NT prayer bears for the kids who were in the Australian bush fires, my two girls helped me cut them out and stuff them. I think it is good for them to do some community service...
Cheers
hi, since i have moved, i have been decluttering most things, this week i started on my sewing room. I gave away to my mum lots of wool to make booties for nursing home clients. i am getting my stash colour organized and putting my PHIBS into a time completion order. Yes, our trashman was cursing me, but i feel much better and can find things much easier and dont have to stuggle to find that bit of fabric when i am appliqueing.
I have been systematically decluttering. Lately, it has been the files on the computer. Early congrates on the job.
I've got to declutter my wardrobe. I told Keith I'm just going to donate 3/4 of it and then if I need to fill in some holes I will. I tend to hang on to clothing forever whether I wear it or not.
I too was in a clean out mood this weekend.... the dreaded basement got hit, hard, yesterday. and ooooh I feel so much lighter having gotten so much out of the house :-)
Congratulations on the (almost) new job! If you have to be away more, maybe you'll get some time to do hand work?
Good for your decluttering! Want to come over and help me too? Seriously, good job, that is hard work. Hope a great job is in the line-up for your.

WOW..when you declutter you mean business! Good luck on the job.
you totally deserve a sewing break!!!
Wow, sounds like a lot of decluttering! When we had a house, I always used to wonder, on days like this, why I had kept all that stuff in the first place!
