Yeah, I know, it’s not spring anymore, but I’m doing some serious spring cleaning. Life in a tiny house with other people means that de-cluttering has to be done more than just once a year, in order to keep up with all the new stuff that appears and multiplies whenever I turn my back for a few weeks.
I realized there is one category of things I need to majorly declutter, and that is my un-used craft supplies.
It feels almost sacrilegious to admit it, but I have too many beads, too much yarn, too many random bits and pieces that I know I’ll never use.
My giveaway, which you can still enter, is phase one of my decluttering. Two lucky people will receive boxes full of crafting supplies, just for leaving comments or posting a link for me on twitter.
Phase two might involve some kind of online yard sale…once I finish sorting the stuff I’m keeping from the stuff I can part with.
It’s somewhat painful to think about parting with this stuff, which I at once point was excited enough about to spend my hard earned money on, but I need to face facts: one girl can only knit so many scarves and make so many necklaces, so stuff that I won’t use for my business needs to get seriously pared down.
My motivation is being able to better organize the stuff I do use and love – so it’s easy to find when I need it!

Hope you get all of your craft stuff a home. Beads are welcome at my house but I have more than enough of the other I am going to be destashing.

Thanks Donna and Marilyn! Donna, if you lived in as tiny of a place as I do…it worked when it was just me and my husband, but now that we have a kid…I really need to get serious about getting organized! He’s gonna want me to get my craft stuff out of his bedroom at some point
