We all have the same obsesssion "lets keep it we might need it" gardeners have a tendency to do that. I have shelves of fabrics in my basement , never mind the fabric that are on rolls (I uses to have an uphostery and drapery store). I have drawers full of yarn. I have decided that as soon as the roads are cleared I am going to have a major indoor yard sale selling all the fabrics that I will never use and all the yarn that I don't seem to be able to part with.... Yesterday I cleaned my computer desk and of course had to do the bills . It took me the whole day between filing ,sorting the file cabinet and taking all of last year paid bills and review everything that laying around on my desk. pictures , receipts, disks? sorting also all the stuff that was downloaded printed some of it mine and some of my husband , his went into the shredder. He usualy look at it once or twice and forget that it even exist .... I still have papers that I am agonizing about I have to make decisions and that might take time... now I also have a cone of yarn on my desk since I decided to make some bedroom slippers. It seems that everything migrates from the breakfast table to my computer. My husband does not leave things laying around because I refuse to pick up after him and make a federal case of it when he does. I don't want any more cleaning work than necessary. I hate house work , and I cant afford a maid therefore no mess for me to pick up.. My kitchen is extremely small so 4 things on the counter will be considered clutter ,so be it I have to put things somewhere ...I just cant' have dishes laying around that is all. I can always make room for some muffins... or freshly baked bread.... my big kitchen LOL
