This is how it starts

susandennisI'm now just about the Queen of Purge so it's kind of hard to believe I still have areas of this tiny home that are full o' crap that needs to go. It's true. I do. My sewing room has already had one big purge but now, needs another. Why?
Today, I decided I needed more space to hang long things. Like maybe an armoire. But, nowhere to put one. Well, there is one in the sewing room but its hanging area has one of those massively ugly plastic chests of drawers that is crammed full of stuff.
So I need to get rid of it. But it has stuff I really don't want to dump. One drawer, however, and parts of others can be deep sixed. There are three deep drawers in that room, all of which need to be emptied and purged. I am percolating a plan here.
I do not need 58 different colors of felt squares. Those plastic snaps are horrible to work with and need to go to Goodwill. And that drawer of fabric scraps call ALL go to Threadcycle.
I can put the stuff that I want to keep from the plastic chest of drawers into the deep drawers. Once I get the plastic drawers emptied, I'll trash it and then move the stuff that needs hanging in there. Problem solved.
We're in the 7th inning so I might even get started after the game.

Except for my office. Seriously, the crap I keep in there ... a work in progress.
