Okay, last post I laid out my projects for the year and well here it is 4 days later and I haven't started on any of them. I did work a little on a baby hat that we started last spring. I'll finish it tonight and probably look into how may more rows I am going to do on a shawl I am knitting.
I need to cut back on active projects and start finishing some things. I am feeling like I am drowning in clutter. Realistically I am not getting a storage shed anytime soon so I need to start taking care of things. I don't want it to get to the point of "Urge to Purge"
The "Urge to Purge" is what we called the moods my dad would get in when clutter on his desk got to be too much. When dad was in one of those moods he didn't always pay attention to what he was throwing out. One time my mom found one of the kid's birth certificates in the trash. Other important items that disappeared were thought to be discarded during a purge.
I know a purge would be cathartic but I hate to let go of anything that I have collected or even might use. I keep thinking I will get around to doing something with it. Or maybe one of the kids will have a project that the stuff will come in useful for. the truth is most of my stuff is in bins and I can't find it when I need it so I end up buying more. Not very practical in a small house with no storage. Yet I can't let go of things.
Well that is not quite correct. I am happy to share my stash with anyone who needs some of it. Is there a project you need beads for, come on over and see if I have what you need. Looking for a rubber stamp, check out my sets. Need some blue fabric for a baby quilt come on over. Looking for a pattern, check out my box. It is all up for grabs if you need it. Just don't expect me to dump it in a Goodwill box or drop it off at a senior center where it might or might not get used.
I wonder if there are others out there who feel the same way.
