I've really been thinking that I should go through and get rid of stuff I don't need. I probably won't do it until summer though, because I'll have more time then.sprinkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081967372702276914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-5638015317147962972015-02-11T18:05:34.229-06:002015-02-11T18:05:34.229-06:00Yep, I'm going to have to deal with my fabric ...Yep, I'm going to have to deal with my fabric stash soon.

When it came to games with missing pieces, I set the offenders aside until I'd been through everything. Pleased to say 95% of pieces turned up.

I am a horrible hoarder and can't bear to throw things out if there's a chance that they might be useful, or the missing pieces might turn up.. but it's getting ridiculous and some has GOT to go. I'm doing OK, but I keep getting distracted, or as I'm honest enough to admit, using diversion tactics to avoid finishing the task.

It's amazing how much moisture they pull out of the air!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032627674570787885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-16455192682912223312015-02-11T07:52:44.635-06:002015-02-11T07:52:44.635-06:00I watched several friends go through the process o...I watched several friends go through the process of cleaning out a house they'd been in for a very long time in preparation for selling.
