240 days to Christmas

Can I be honest - I fund decluttering difficult.  It is tedious going through one's old mistakes, sad to part with things which once had meaning, shaming to realise how much money one has wasted.


What I like about decluttering is the results.  I like the space.  I like the freedom  Most of all I like finding things which I had forgotten about.

And I had forgotten about this bunting.  I started it before Christmas 2014 but never got it finished.  So yesterday I sat down at the sewing machine and voila!  first gift ready for Christmas 2015.  

Now how many more do I need to make?

  1. How early do you start your cards? I love the whole crafting for Christmas idea and might start myself -- there is nothing left to buy my kids -- they are grown and can well afford to buy their own things and our taste is different anyway so crafting might just be the way to go! Love looking at your decluttering and my feelings are similar. I might just have to head to the laundry area though because it is getting a bit out of control! I probably WON'T post pics of that.

    1. I have my friend Amy coming next week so I shall be having another staycation then but after that I shall be giving C******** cards some serious thought. Decluttering has yielded quite a few materials which I would like to use up.

    3. Ok, I probably should say I love seeing your decluttering PROGRESS! I was doing really well with my housekeeping and decluttering then I got the evil stomach bug and it has all fallen apart!

    1. My only excuse is that is actually not early for C********2015, it's very late for 2014!
