365 Days of de-cluttering: Day 44

Today I looked in the middle-middle drawer. I found 4 pair of knee socks that are about 30+ years old. In the trash they go. There was also an old knitted scarf that will go in the donate pile. There are still several pairs of socks in the drawer but they belong to Lawrence. I don't think he will ever wear them but I left them there anyway. I may move them to one of his other sock drawers which will free up that drawer though I don't know what I will put in it.

365 Days of de-cluttering: Day 43

I'm tired of the closet so I moved on to my dresser. Top middle drawer. Found 3 chokers, two to throw away, one still looks good so will go with the other horse stuff that I've yet to determine how to get rid of. A piece of ribbon that goes with the sewing stuff, a scarf to give away and one to put in the sewing scraps pile.

365 Days of de-cluttering: Day 42

Belts. I have lots of belts that I never, ever wear. I've put 6 in the donate pile and 7 I will keep for the hardware. I have some ideas about making some belts to give away and/or sell.

365 Days of de-cluttering: Day 41

Started going through the dresses today. Found 2 to donate. Both were dresses I purchased at Goodwill. One was a long dress for an awards banquet and the other was a black dress I bought for dancing. I don't really like either one so it isn't hard to part with them.

365 Days of de-cluttering: Day 40

40 days. Woohoo. Today I went through my shoes and found a pair of slippers and a pair of flip flops that I never wear. I hate flip flops they hurt my feet and are hard to keep on and I prefer to just go around the house in socks. It wears them out faster but my feet sweat too much in slippers. I kept one pair to wear if I go somewhere and feel that it would be appropriate to wear them but I only need one pair so the other one goes away. I will donate them both.

365 Days of de-cluttering: Day 38 & 39

Just plain forget yesterday. So today I have a pair of old tennis shoes that should have been thrown away a long time ago. That counts for yesterday. For today I put an old dress (only worn a few times but 25+ years old) in the donate pile.

365 Days of de-cluttering: Day 37

Today I found 2 more pair of jeans that have to go in the future quilt pile. They both had holes in the seat so even though they were in good condition otherwise, they can't be worn.
