52 Weeks To A Simplified Home: Week 24 Update

ByVictoria Updated:

This week I went through the material bins which was the last step of completing the decluttering of the downstairs closet.

Once upon a time I sewed. Then I had kids. Now I do use material when I locker hook (but I haven’t done that in a year) or for smaller projects like the Christmas wreath I made for our front door, and the case I made for my kindle Paperwhite.

Other than that though, I don’t use material that often. For that reason I don’t need 3 bins full.

In the end I parted with an entire box full of fabric which meant that I was left with just 2 totes instead of 3, and they both have room inside them.

I kept fabric that could be used in locker hooking only, and parted with pretty much everything else.

This box to giveaway is the 3rd box that I took out of the downstairs of closet. That is a lot less stuff in a small space.

I was saying to my husband I think I have gotten rid of close to a dozen of these banana boxes so far 24 weeks into my simplifying project. That is an entire truck load of stuff no longer in my home and I still have just over half of a year to go.

One exciting find in these bins were these balls of netting. I made them quite a while ago to knit scrubbies out of and then forgot about them. I put one in my knitting bag so I can now make some up.

A few great posts to help you with your clutter roadblocks…
