I love de-cluttering and like Bella I am lazy, lazier than her as a matter of fact. But I love books. I love to be surrounded by them even if they look cluttered. Do you know that I had a de-cluttering post once and guess who came to visit my blog? Kaitlin Flanagan! I have too many dishes.

I clean it off and the next thing you know, the clutter has returned...does this stuff give birth or what??? As for my studio, well, let's not even go there, but I'm slowly realizing that I may be a participant in those hoarding programs on tv, but just my studio, every place else is organized stuff.<br /><br />I noticed you had a tangine...do you like it?

The removal of cobwebs in my house helps to remove those in my mind and I can think more clearly.<br /><br />I hope to take up knitting some day as I think it is a stress-relieving rather than stress-producing activity.

Entrümpeln, Sortieren und Aussortieren mache ich regelmäßig und radikal. Ich bin froh, dass ich nicht an den Dingen hänge.
