Declutter and stitch update

My keyboard isn't working well today, so this will be a short one. First of all, the decluttering. Not pictured is a bank card because, well just because! Chocolate moulds. Bought these to do Disney style goody bags a while ago and they haven't been used since. Bin. Lollipop moulds. Same as above, except I don't think I ever used them. A cat bed. Absolutely pointless buying it, as they didn't use it as a bed, but as a scratching post. Unfortunately it was damaged too much so we had to throw it away. No 7 shower cream. Bought as part of a christmas set. Shower gel seems to be the only thing I can get through on a regular basis - body creams last forever. This was ok, not worth the hype. Ran out, so bin. A collection of buttons for clothes that I got rid of a long time ago. Bin. A pack of earrings. Bought as I thought it would be good to have some earrings that co-ordinated with clothes but I'm not very good at co-ordinating outfits let alone...

Small update

Small post today, just decluttering and where I finished off with my Middle Earth stitch, as I'm now back on the Disney one. A raincoat. Zip broke, then it went mouldy, which is strange as it's supposed to be able to deal with damp. Bin. Stephen King book. This one's going to charity. I've only read it once, and it didn't grab me.  Red dress. I bought this to wear for the Dr Who anniversary programme in the cinema, as it's similar to what Clara wears in an episode. Bored with it now, as it doesn't hug the waist like it should do. Charity. Bird dress. I love this, but over the years I've found I love chocolate more so I've outgrown it. However, there'a a lovely girl I know who this dress would really suit, so it's gone to her. Texture paste. It's only a mini tub, and it's run out. Bin. Big tooth comb. These are supposed to help with knots, but it does nothing for my hair, which actually broke one of the teeth. ...

A couple of tags...

Sundays seem to be a good day for updating the old blog. It gives me a chance to sum up what I've decluttered for the week, show you what I have made, and get everything fresh for the new week. So, with that in mind, here are this weeks updates.Decluttering first. Can of Batiste. To be honest this doesn't seem to do anything to my hair. Used up anyway so bin. Soap and Glory spray. The day I run out of Soap and Glory stuff is the day the world will end. Used up so bin. Here's me thinking £9 for a pair of work trousers is a bargain. The zip split, then the seams did. Bin. Pair of brogues. Got these as a birthday present. Unfortunately the soles have come away from the rest of the shoe so I've got a kind of Flinstone thing going on when I walk. Bin.  A Macy's tote bag. First foreign holiday, ended up buying stuff everywhere I went almost as proof that I'd been to these famous places. Don't need it now so it's going to charity. Pair o...

A mind is a strange place...

Well my mind is anyway, going by what I have made this week. Now that I've finished the first draft of The Ghost Lights I've had more time to concentrate on my papercraft. I'm still a little bit off my game with the stitching at the moment, but it happens sometimes. With any luck I'll at least finish this page before I'm back to the Disney stitch. Anyway, first thing's first. Decluttering. Here are this week's items. A Ghost Moonlight perfume sampler. It was alright, but not one I'd buy. To be honest I prefer samplers in a spray bottle because it's too easy to tip the contents out completely. Bin. A mini Disney tree tube. You'll see from the second photo what colour it originally was. For some reason spending time in the window has made it go all Steamboat Willy. Don't need it, so bin. A Hogwarts seal and stamp kit. Got this in Florida, never used it. It's being regifted. Same thing here, but it's a Hogwarts bri...
