SPRING-Clean Declutter - Need Help

This is BR2-NW corner

I took out the heavy wood partition and opened it onto the sunroom now - tada! Mor junk! And light & breeze ☺

Doing this made it so much easier for the fella to come collect the sewing machine from sunroom / front veranda.

Today i also installed a cute little slide lock on BR2 door so I can lock it to stop people coming into the living area during the garage sale etc Actually works.

Oh, gotta share a picture of the old traddle machine

Thanks for listening 🙂

Great work @Former-Member - It's so satisfying when you can see progress. I didn't get to have an open fire all winter because of the boxes of stuff in front of the fireplace so you're inspiring me to tidy up and get rid of the junk. Nearly all mine is child related - books and toys and clothes and DVDs. Kids these days just seem to have so much more stuff than what we had when we were kids. A lot of it I think I will just donate to charity. I've sold a few things on facebook and ebay but some stuff I think it's just easier to give away.

Hi @Former-Member

Last night I had back pain - aw - on a scale of 1 - 10 not that bad really - but it was more than that - I was feeling some stress. I got up early and had breakfast and I hoped I would go to sleep watching a movie but that didn't happen so I hope to get to sleep early tonight

My Gran taught me to sew on a treadle machine like that too - I really hate sewing - I can have a nervous breakdown if I have to sew on a button - I kid you not - I resisted learning sewing but then I was good at knitting and embroidery -

Gee - that's so long ago

I understand about you wanting to help your mum out in the last years of her life - I hope you can find a place to rent near her place so you have your own space too - I find my space is soooooo precious - I guess I have had a place to myself for a long time now and this is what I like- but we are all different

My ex-h hoarded - I have no idea why - he had a bungalow on his mother's property and it was full of junk - when she sold that place he built a garage on our block and just moved it all in there - I have no idea what happened to all of it but I guess you are finding out now that having all that stuff does't help much

I have missed chatting with you too - I really enjoy you -

And yes - it's amazing that one folding table in my lounge should make the place messy - and it was - another thing - I would find an ant on me now and again while I was watching TV and couldn't work out where they were coming from until I found they were walking under the edge of the shelf of my wall unit - they seem to have all gone now - I wonder what they were after - I guess I will never know

We have a wet week forecast - I wish I could huff and puff and blow the rain north but alas - waaaaalllll - at least it's mild today

Lots a hugz

Hi @Former-Member - good to see that you are resting. All that decluttering can take its toll. That guy who bought your sewing machine got a bargain. It's beautiful but I guess you have to be a bit ruthless in culling what you won't need.

My old sewing machine stand just had the wrought iron frame, no drawers and only some timber slats for the top. A bit like this but without the machine.

Keep up the good work. Hi to @Owlunar@Former-Member@Shaz51.
