Wow, I thought I'd never finish with this last challenge! But, boy, am I thrilled with the results. I can't wait to start creating in my new clean space. To remind you of what this sewing space looked like before, here's the photo:
There it is, in all its glory. First thing I had to do was to find a home for my items I'm going to sell in my new Etsy shop called Cottage Garden Vintage, opening soon. That was easier said than done. I had to clear a big shelf for those. So, those things on that shelf had to find a new home. They were mostly older homeschool books that I had tried to sell previously on Ebay, so I had to make the executive decision to donate them.
I then put all my assorted sewing supplies in the drawers they belonged in, as well as thread, pin cushions and measuring tapes. Patterns were placed back in their file boxes.
I put up the curtains that had been draped over my serger and actually opened my serger after ? years. Wow!
Other random items either found a new home, were tossed in the trash or were donated.
And now, for the final reveal. Brace yourselves!
Isn't that beautiful? I think so.
I hope this gives you the inspiration to begin your own conquering clutter challenge.
I know I am looking for my next challenge to share with you. Stay tuned and God bless you!
This blog is to document my journey through life as a Christian, a wife and homeschooling mom of five. It is almost like a commentary on what I am dealing with at any given moment. And along the way, I hope to share what I have learned on that journey, both spiritually and practically.
