Hello all. I have been up to my ears in this project. I have had intention to sort all this stuff for some time and this is the perfect opportunity. My self-imposed purge is long over due.
Seriously, whose brilliant idea was this? Huh? Hours and hours yesterday I emptied drawers, sorted fabric, moved patterns, found more fabric, then more. Then the workman came and wanted to see my water main shut off valve. Yikes. After moving bins and bins of "stuff" and directing him to the closet where the valve is, the mess, as it was, was even worse.
I worked on 4 of the 12 drawers sorting, discarding, and preparing donation bags. I will catch up, but understand this, it was not by the end of yesterday. I knew that. But now I REALLY know it. Taking inventory of it and sorting it are two different things. That said, progress has been made and my catch up days will be well utilized.
Three large bags of quilting fabrics I no longer wish to keep as well as one really large bag of discards now wait for their ultimate disposition. All of the small scraps, already fused to a backing, gone. All the little pieces of strips and squares, gone. I won't use them and no one else likely well either. That left me with much needed space to organize.
The small 3 drawer chest where I stored patterns is now used for kits, collections and layer cakes.
Polly put the kettle on we'll all take tea!!!
- What can I say here? I may have too much stuff? More photos at the end of the challenge. As I said before, I will need more than one day to sort the fabric.
- Today, patterns. I am sorting the garment patterns as to type, the craft patterns are in their category as well. A large number of all are heading to donation. I actually remember when I bought these in the late 1980's and early to mid-nineties. Someone will want them.
- The patterns won't take as long, they were separated new to older styles and sizes before this and tomorrow is a doctor day with husband, likely no post tomorrow. See you Thursday. Toodles.
