DECLUTTER CHALLENGE Start Here
Updated: Jan 31, 2021
I don’t think I have ever been happier to see a New Year arrive. Though COVID is still with us and we are in lockdown, I am looking forward to new projects and finding new ways to keep in touch.
I’m anxious to get my sewing space organized but I realize that I still have the dregs of 2020 lingering in my sewing room. So I am putting my inventory management skills to use and cleaning up the clutter.
Welcome to the DECLUTTER CHALLENGE. And I hope that you join along with me.
Starting January 11th, and running for three weeks I will have daily challenges for you. Be sure to watch this week's YouTube before you start.
Each day we will tackle one part of decluttering your sewing space. They are meant to be done in 15 minutes bursts. Some will take several bursts. And the challenge will be different for everyone. We all have been quilting for different lengths, at different skills and different methods. Some of you might have decluttered last year. Some of you may not have tackled any of this for many many years. So you need to recognize that this 21 days journey will look different for each of us
I know parts of this will be hard. Just writing this, I’m twitching a bit as I know that I have a couple of drawers full of regrets.
We are all in this together. We are going to laugh, maybe cry, forgive and let it go.
