OUT!

Finally!

One bag of polished rocks I handed out at my class as part of my demo for pot burnishing, told everybody to keep them.

Going Wednesday:

55 skeins or partial skeins of yarn (plus random small balls I didn't count)

One loom.

Pots out - 95

Go Lila!

Yes, I will keep all the Halloween. I worked pretty hard on holiday decorations last year and I am trying to only keep/acquire ones that I will want to use for years and years. I did sort through when I put them out this year, and have two I am thinking about., but I think most of what I have will stay, with maybe just a few swap outs each year as some things that are not sentimental get old and worn.

Actually, I will have more, because I made more handprint ghosts with my grandsons, but they won't be fired until later and will go up next Halloween. And I will probably buy more lights next year. I love holidays and I love decorating my house. Especially in fall and winter when it is dark and hard to go outside.

After Halloween, will you keep all of the Halloween stuff in, SubC?

I cleaned out a cabinet and am counting the things I tossed that I intended to keep (not counting the old expired food but AM counting expired seasonings etc because I normally keep them all).

- pepper shaker
- flavored salt
- tajin

I forgot that I ordered a set of flannel sheets in the summer that was on back order. It arrived yesterday.

I am not doing all that well.

Two hats out.

13 items in to decorate for Halloween (besides Birdy's handprint - but almost half of them are battery operated tea lights). One old decoration out.

So I am net ten things in.

At this point, I am just wishing to be net zero at the end of the year! It seems unlikely.

Ok, Birdy's finished ghost handprint is an in.

I counted all the jeans in, but two are leaving. Plus three pet items, a toy I got out of storage and tried with bean yesterday that we decided was meh, and a fancy box.

I had 4 out, then I brought home a shelf from school and last night when dd1 picked up her boys she brought me three pairs of the jeans I like from the thrift store, so I am now even again.

Just recording that to drop the mental tally.

Sold 4 pots at the market today - very slow day.

So, I bought a pot and I'm not sure where to list it. I think as a thing, since I'm really tracking pots separately to try to manage my own work.

We got last year's yearbooks at school yesterday.
Also, there were five small folding tables in the load I cleaned out of the storage closet. Two of them are still sitting in my garage in "decision land" - one will definitely go, but I have washed three of them and carried them into my house as temporary staging and sorting areas while I work on my basement project. I've decided I better count those in.

So

Decided to throw out an art project made for me by a student from years ago. I can still remember the student fondly without her childhood art.

I took some things to the thrift store today when I went out to buy materials for the basement project. The materials don't count because they are going to be built in as part of the house. I've decided I am also not going to count the rugs, because they are basically part of the house.

However, I still have nine magnetic pouches I haven't decided about and I better count them in before I forget. I can count them out if they go. I added one new thing to the drop, so I am counting 8 more items in.

Wow, it has been 2 months since I checked in, right after I made a new goal for myself of 500 items out in a year! I figured I would check in tonight and get ready to post some things going out tomorrow during Project Bedroom.

Filled a plastic grocery bag with trash and found a couple more things (not boxes) that I can let go of.
