I did clean out part of my closet, but I have more to do. I have a closet in what use to be my oldest son's room, and it is filled w/ coats. Don't I need lots of coats living in Idaho? Another closet has craft stuff; I get pelted in the head by a pillow needing a new form whenever I open the door. It's not really messy, just full. My desk and ironing board and sewing machine--which hasn't been used in years--are in that room. The office is another story altogether. Every year I haul home lots of books from school w/ good intentions of reading them. Those boxes are in the family room next to workout equipment. I sound like a real slob, don't I. It's all clutter I notice more than anyone else does. I want to clean. Really, I do, but I want to read more!

I need to be generous & get rid of some of the clothes I bought & have not worn for sure. I brought home ALL my books from school in these past weeks. My back hall is filled because the book room was already filled. I promise that I am having a teacher book sale in July. If all of you would come, I'd gladly share. Something must be gone. I understand about the fabric from my mother, a quilter. She just kept buying, Anita, & did make fabulous quilts, but her real love I think was browsing in a fabric store, just as mine is in a book store. Thanks for the nudge, & good luck with doing a little bit!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143907991696731390.post-65126618282005692092015-06-16T08:30:10.910-04:002015-06-16T08:30:10.910-04:00A major pruning is scheduled for our house, too, s...A major pruning is scheduled for our house, too, spurred by plans for a garage sale next month. Seems we have common clothes, books, and craft stashes...But today, being my first real day of summer break, I'm thinking pruning can wait!Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143907991696731390.post-15855029704199306892015-06-16T08:03:06.109-04:002015-06-16T08:03:06.109-04:00The first week of my summer I did clean up and out...The first week of my summer I did clean up and out and it felt good. I haven't tackled the clothes yet. I lost my momentum after the laundry room. Maybe I'll try Kondo style before summer's end.Margaret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434866104385187658noreply@blogger.com
