I hope you are well and enjoying the weekend.
As mentioned in my last post, I was spending time to declutter over the weekend. I've been doing this off and on for quite some time but there is still quite a lot of 'fine tuning' to be done. I was spurred into action again due to a leak a few floors above me.
It was 'deja vu' as I'd gone through this several years ago. Back then we had to move out for several months while restoration took place. This time the damage is more contained and doesn't affect the entire apartment. Nonetheless we'll probably have to move out while the demolition and reconstruction takes place because the damage in one room is quite extensive.
While looking at other people's decluttered items is not so exciting, it sometimes motivates us to do some decluttering of our own. I love watching others on You Tube declutter their spaces and I'm really trying my best to do a major decluttering job. I can't believe it's taking me so long but at least I'm making progress. After I'm done it will expand our options. Either we can plan a move to a new place or we can remain and do a bit of home updates here and there. I'm not certain about any move but I want to have things in a state of readiness just in case.
I'm documenting my decluttering efforts so later I can look back on it all. What follows doesn't cover everything that has been decluttered recently. It's a bit of work to take photos of everything and count every item. I try to count the big stuff and not the papers as there are just far too many of them.
In between decluttering, I found a bit of time to knit with a 'new to me' yarn. It's cotton yarn and it's a little thinner than I'd like. I really should learn to read labels before I purchase something.

Even though it's a bit thin, I think it will still work for a cloth. I like to make and give these as gifts and my friends seem to appreciate them. As you know, wash cloths need frequent replacing so if I gift someone more than once with the cloths, they generally need to replace the former ones I've given them so I'm not adding to their clutter.
After knitting one cloth, it was back to decluttering efforts. In case, I have to relocate temporarily, I'm trying to get rid of as much as possible so junk doesn't go to storage only to have to be disposed of later.
Let's hope I can get a lot done this week.
Take care.
