    Ok, tackling the shed today. OMG the amount of brewing stuff DH has, he really needs to sort through it, all I can do is consolidate it on one lot of shelves in the shed. Actually the shed would not be too bad if it was not for DH insisting that we hold on to the boxes for the TV etc "just in case" we move. I am sure if we do that removalists these days will have boxes to accomodate flat screen tv's. I have to drag them all out before I can even get to all the other stuff.

    So now back to me trying to be ruthless

    Oh man... I've wanted to declutter my house for so long it's ridiculous. What I think would make a HUGE difference to me, is if I had somewhere to do my crafts/sewing/painting!!! Right now I have a desk taken up with very specific jewelry making stuff, and a little bit of block carving, but no room for my sewing machine. A shelf in our linen cupboard is taken up with my fabric stash and machine, and that stash only grows... plus the dining table is the only place big enough to set it up, and to cut fabric. Plus there's my easel, and the canvases, and paints..... argh. I would love a little shed out the back where I can go and drill holes in rocks and sew like a nutter. I mean, I've got everything fairly neat, and have already "decluttered" everything related to my crafts.... but it still exists. You know? Siiigghhh.... I think I'm living the impossible dream.
