NO NEW CLOTHES!!!!

I removed EVERY thing from my closet then threw it all on the bed. Unless I got it cleaned up there would be no sleeping tonight.
After sorting through the piles I put my "little bit better" than Nanny wear on one side of the tiny walk in closet

The other side has my Nanny wear, I only hung on to the nicer tee's but still have plenty. Dress up clothes were moved to a spare bedroom closet, it's not like they get used very much so no need to clutter up my working closet. Two large bags will be headed to Goodwill next time I am over that way, they are already loaded in the car ready to fnd a new home.

I moved our every day bulk storage under my tee's so I could get to it much easier. Before I had to go in the closet, shut he door, drag out the 50 pound buckets then drag it all back again. I replace the lids with Gamma Lids for our bulk items. Much better for getting in and out plus they keep a nice seal. I don't have room in the kitchen or any of the other pantries for these large buckets.

I didn't turn my machine on for a single minute today :( but I did get a few more bits and pieces sorted. I am hoping this system will work better than the piles of scraps I had hanging aound. The larger containers hold leftovers from seasons or categories. No need to have Christmas and such just taking up space and looking all messy.

Needed to post early today since I know hubby will want to get on the PC tonight to start our tax filing. I have a little nest for myself to work on files in the den for this afternoon and evening. I need to do a quick dig to find everything hubby will need then it's on to doing the yearly clean out and setting up for 2012. I sooo should have done this earlier but now is better than never! Our desk is housed in our bedroom so this is still part of the decluttering for the master bedroom. I am oh so close to being done in there.

After hours in our room I needed a change of scenery so I moved over to the scrap/sewing room for some time. The only way to get some sibilance of order was to find storage containers for all my leftovers. Wally world here I come, put down $31.74 for crappy plastic boxes, printer paper (we were out), file boxes. and Cheetos (lunch). This won't be much of a low spend week, I will need gas and a few other things before the week is out.

I so hate ugly clear plastic boxes, getting cute colors makes me feel a little better but I need to see what is in the boxes quick and easy so clear it is. I have collected so many good scraps over the last year that I didn't want to do away with much. After putting together 3 quilt tops with the fabric I had bought for just one quilt I realized two things. I buy more fabric than I need to for a quilt and coordinating scraps look pretty darn good together for additional quilts. I used the large containers for seasons, baby, Americana, holidays and such. The small containers are random scraps sorted by color. I hate to cut into a full piece of fabric for just a small bit.

I'm off to start on our filing, shredding and moving the old stuff out. With any luck I can head to bed before hubby gets to far into the tax deal, it ain't always pretty!!
