My moving process is like peeling an onion consisting of four layers. The outer most layer is all the no longer wanted or needed items about the house. If they wouldn't fetch at least two bucks at a yard sale then they go in donation boxes. This week I gratefully dropped off a minivan full of stuff. There is noticeably more breathing room around here.
I've moved on to the next layer (probably the favorite) which is one of sorting through all my personal belongings.What is cast aside then becomes moving sale fodder.
This current move requires aggressive action and attitude. We are downsizing 600 square feet- from a 1800 square foot house for a 1200 sf home. Well, that sentence was a little unnerving to type.
The linen totes have gone from five down to two. Some forgotten projects were found. My first project from quilt class, just in time for some happy heart decorating.
Found this quilt for baby Rock to enjoy for a little while. He is growing so fast.
Tomorrow we dive into the hardest layer. Those packrat boys need to start parting with their precious excess stuff.
You might be wondering what the last layer could be. It's when the moving truck is in the driveway and there is too much cargo and not enough space, and we wonder what we can really live without. Then a call to Thrift King is in order. They do a great job of taking it off our hands.
