Haul!

My guy and I braved the market today to do our bi-monthly shopping, and guess what I found on the shelves?

In case you can't read the labels, from the left: hand sanitizer, a 12-pack of toilet paper, spray disinfectant, and a hand soap refill atop the TP.

I've only been able to purchase TP twice since the pandemic hit the US. This was the first time I've seen ANY hand sanitizer since March. The spray cleaner is kid and dog friendly (my usual Lysol cleaner is still out of stock), and the hand soap refill is the brand Katherine likes.

I feel ridiculously pleased with myself, as if I discovered actual treasure at the market. What will we find next? Diapers? Baby wipes? Dare I hope now? Ha.

That's a great haul! I'm wondering what I'll find Friday. I have toilet paper coming out my ears. I'd ordered it and when I got a notice that it was out of stock. ordered a different kind. Got another notice and so on and so on and then they all just came at once. The hand sanitizer and stuff, not so much but I still have some. I'd like to get more though if they have it Friday.

And you got the good stuff too! Isn't it funny what makes us grateful? LOL! I was the same way a couple of weeks ago when I found hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes. Still no alcohol though. My stores stock it but it's gone before I can get there.

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.

In Progress

I promised myself I would show you the good, bad and ugly of my cleaning this year. This is what it looks like when you dump thirty years' worth of stashed fabric on the floor -- and oy, what a pain in the butt to pick up again! This is what it looks like after it's been sorted, folded and placed in containers, which took me about a week. Now the hard part is to downsize my stash by at least half, I think (that's my goal, anyway.) I've already e-mailed the president of the local quilting guild, a local friend who is a quilter, and a public school art teacher I know to see if I can donate some of the excess to them. The rest will go to Goodwill. Already I've reduced my vintage textiles from two bins to one, and my scraps from three bins to one. It's probably the hardest clean-out I've done, which is why I saved it until last. I know I have too much fabric, more than I can use in my lifetime -- but at the same time, I love it. So I have to...

Downsizing

This was my fabric stash once I sorted everything -- 22 full bins. I spent a day taking out and boxing up what I could part with, with the goal of trying to reduce it by half, so I'd have 11 bins. I was very strict with myself, and removed everything that for one reason or another I was sure I wouldn't be able to use. This is what I ended up with -- 12 bins of fabric that I'm keeping. It's not quite half, but close enough. Half of what I took out went to a local quilter friend, a school and Goodwill. These four tightly-packed bins will be going to the local quilting guild once I make arrangements with them for a drop-off place. I am relieved and a little sad and now determined to control my impulses to thrift more fabric. I don't want to do this again, so until I use up six bins, I can't for any reason bring any new fabric into the house.
