It seems there will always be crafting supplies to be decluttered from my stash. I still make all my own greeting cards, so the stash is still used. However my desire for simplicity and space has me revisiting my supplies on a regular basis to … [Read more]
Outgrown items
This jigsaw is too easy for my grandson. He is a bit of a jigsaw prodigy. He was never very interested in it either, because it doesn’t have a dinosaur theme. Thomas the Tank Engine just doesn’t cut it for him. Ha ha! There is only so much … [Read more]
Useful but underused
All of the items above were once of use to me but have been languishing in my kitchen cupboard unused for a while now. The little glass jars would be more useful to me if it wasn’t for the fact that they came into this house as candle jars and the … [Read more]

I picked these bobbin clips up for next to nothing at my local thrift store. I figured that for all they cost it was worth checking them out as an organisational tool for my sewing threads. Well, they just didn’t work out for me so they can go back … [Read more]

Job done and about time
I have had some secondhand stools and fabric stash to reupholster them for some time now. This week I faintly put the finishing touches to the last stool. They came up pretty well and this bin full of trash is the last of the cast off pieces and out … [Read more]
Handbag Detritus
I may have a lot of decluttering experience but I still seem to accumulate detritus in my handbag. Those tissues are clean by the way but have been in there for some time and probably picked up all manner of germs from hands going in and out of the … [Read more]
