Organizing

Lately been doing some clearing up and to try to find a way to organize sewing notions, lots of bits and bobs, etc. which I've accumulated for the last 4 years. With the decluttering activity, I managed to find a couple stuff which I've now re-purposed to hold the bits and bobs.

The clear wall hanging with pockets is originally a calendar hence you see numbers and weeks and months. I've now got it to hold embroidery threads, sewing threads and lots of strings and elastics.

The one holding my ribbons was a necktie caddy which has never been used after Simon left the corporate world (to start up the company with me) and didn't need to wear ties to work (actually he hasn't worn any for the last 4 years!).


We also got all the stuff we had left at the moving company's storage warehouse for the last 3 years, delivered to our home. There were a total of 18 big plastic tubs and within a couple hours, Simon and I managed to get it all down to 6 boxes!!! Yippeee! So much stuff! We got the 'recycle man' outside of our apartment complex gate to take them all away. We got only RMB 60 (less than U$10) for the lot but we didn't care as long as they took the stuff away and recycled them. Now we feel 'lighter'.
