It seems like a good time at the moment, with all this rain, to have a good clear out and clean. I started last week, doing one room at a time which I find very rewarding. Sorting through all the drawers and shelves with a bin bag in one hand and a charity bag in the other. So far, I have gone through the sitting room, hallway and am now working on the dining room. It has been fairly straightforward so far, as I don't tend to hoard things in the sitting room and hallway, but the dining room has always been a bit of an Aladdin's cave.
I have a few projects for the dining room, the cushions for the chairs desperately need re-covering. My old method would be to throw these ones away and buy new ones, but in my year of the shoestring, I am determined to re-cover the original cushions. I inherited my Grandmother's sewing machine - so I have no excuse now! Then there are all the school photos to frame and recipes to write out and sort through - so my attention will remain with the dining room for some time, but in a good way and keeping me away from the shops!
