Oh @Zol yes yes yes!! We seem to be on a similar journey in this particular aspect of our lives at the moment, how delightful ๐Ÿ˜Š Love Marie Kondo!! Yes I am taking my time with mine too, as soon as I put time pressure on it feels less like a cleansing and more like a panic, and for some reason suddenly the process isn't about me anymore, it's about making it 'look nice' - which is a bit how I'm feeling right now cos I got a house inspection coming up ๐Ÿ˜ช

 

I have been very much enjoying what I've been calling 'pilfering' though ๐Ÿ˜‚

Instead of immediately donating or throwing away things I don't want, I try to see if I can recycle them first!! For example I had these stuffed toys that I didn't really like much anymore (those Fuggly ones from Kmart lol) - and I also happened to have a pillow that was a bit lacklustre in its plumpness! So I ripped open the toys, then stuffed their innards into the pillow and stitched it back up!! It's much nicer to lean on now, and I also have these little eyes and bits leftover from the fuggles that I can use for another craft project!! The teeth I think I wanna sew into one of the fake pockets I was cursed with on one of my fav punk jackets. Hehehe ๐Ÿ˜‹

 

It's been really fun seeing what I can come up with ๐Ÿ˜ What's next after the papers for you, you reckon? Hmm what's felt easy for me.... oh like going through all the pantry/kitchen and bathroom cupboards has been pretty smooth and easy, cos mostly it's either just items or products that are off or old or no longer in use, and not really any sentimental stuff either!!
