| Describe an object, collection, or category of items that you’re keeping even though its value, desirability, and/or usefulness to you has significantly diminished over time. | Fabric that I have bought over the years with different family members in mind. I started as a Mum of 3 young kids, a husband and a job. I have a granddaughter now, sing and on disability. My life has considerably changed in those 30 plus years. Yet, I start well on decluttering it but 5 minutes in and I’m done. |
| Explain your reason or rationale for keeping the thing(s) you described in your answer to the previous question. | I don’t understand why I can’t at least halve the fabric I keep. For some I just purely love the fabric which means the fabric, its colour, the feel of it and the garment I was to make from it. Most fabrics are washed ready for use. Over time they have been bagged, labeled and dated knowing that at some point it would help me in the “time to go” category. Mostly, I’m just overwhelmed by the space I don’t have. |
| What’s your favorite thing about summer? And what could you do this week to make more room in your life or your home for your summer fun? | My favourite thing about winter is that there is relief from the never ending heat and humidity which will return soon enough. It’s a high of 21C here which is quite warm for most places south of Brisbane. I like to cover up. I’ll keep plodding along getting rid of stuff. If I could see better I could donate bags of stuff waiting to go. Nothing is ever easy. 🤷🏻♀️ |

| Future topics | Can’t think of anything. |
