For the past two days, daughter Joanne and I have been hauling all sorts of things up from the basement. We've sorted, cleaned, dumped, and arranged years worth of stuff, all done in an effort to rid ourselves of unwanted, un-needed clutter. Our motivation was the town garage/yard sales.
Lots of traffic goes by our house every day, but we're three miles north of town, not in town. In a way, we feel that our time was wasted. We've only had three people stop and buy from us for a total of $15. The good news is we've cleared a ton of stuff from the basement, and now we can call a charity group to come pick everything up. Which one? The one that can get here first!
As a result of all this decluttering, there's been little time for tatting. After all, we do have a three-year-old and nine-month-old twins to entertain.
Still, I did manage to finish my Helm's Deep Spinning Wheel glass mat. Life is good!

ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound like time wasted to me, you must feel more organised now. Love that spinning wheel mat!
ReplyDeleteGood work! 😉
ReplyDeleteOoooh, your glass mat looks fantastic!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI do like that thread in the mat. I hate having yard sales. It's been years since we last had one at my house and I bribed my daughters to handle it without me. I told them I'd ferry food and drink out to them and they could have all of the money as long as I didn't have to do anything with the sale. :D These days I load it all up and donate to a worthy cause with a thrift store.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all the decluttering. I am still filling bags for donation. Sorry about the lack of sales. Enjoy your family time dear.
