The great excavation of 2007 continues, after a good amount of ignoring. I had gotten to the point that there was so much stuff to sort through, it was literally taking over my apartment. You couldn’t even walk through the living room. I’m trying to seriously weed out things and put alot of stuff in the garage sale. I’m a serious pack rat because I attach emotional memories to the silliest of things, so I have that added on top of the typical pack rat “I might need it someday” syndrome. I reached the point where I just couldn’t make any more decisions about what to keep and what to give away. I put everything that hadn’t been sorted back into boxes, and back into my bedroom. I got them back out this weekend, and made a good amount of progress. I need to take things over to my mom’s to store so I can really get a feel for what I’m dealing with now.
One thing I have discovered though– I don’t need to buy any more crafty things, as much as I want to. I’ve got so many unfinished projects already. I keep discovering so many things that I’ve forgotten about that I’m half-expecting to discover I was once into slot cars or something! I know that’s not the case, but I do have many, many unfinished crochet projects, plus yarn for countless projects yet to have been started. I also found an unfinished cross-stitch project or two that I started almost TEN YEARS ago! That’s just sad! It won’t stop me from buying new things when I decide I need them, but is sad none the less.
