Friday 27th June - small victories!

 We managed to get all the way to the wall in the snall bedroom, uncovering the table that we were trying to clear right down to the wood. And the dust. No spiders, thankfully,  at keast, not that we actually saw.

Our efforts were punctuated by cries of 'I was looking for this the other day' (the LEGO maze kit we built and played with one Christmas) and 'what on earth...?' (Son's GCSE Design and Technology project from mumble mumble years ago).

Four more bags for charity, one bag of rubbish, and several crates of defunct computer bits for electrical recycling. 

(I don't want to even open the door of the other spare bedroom... guess where a lot of stuff got moved to!)

I've finished the Cover Story Stitching for June, and will pack and post it tomorrow. The next stage will be to attach a lining and choose a note book for it. I can't wait!

Music

Bilbo's song, sung by the vocal group Cantabile, on their album Lullabies and Goodnights. 


A favourite song from a favourite album.

    1. It's a 'this year, next year, sometime, never' sort of task, until 'NOW' suddenly arrives!

  4. Decluttering is so satisfying and the added joy of finding things that have been "lost" for a long time. Regards Sue H

  5. Thank you so much for your kind offer of some craft stuff, Kirsten, but I think I have enough to keep me going for a while now. I really appreciate the offer though.
    Well done with the decluttering. It's so satisfying isn't it! Now relax a bit in this lovely weather we're having.
