- Welcome to my brand new Weekly Decluttering Series! Each week I will focus on decluttering parts of my home. Some weeks I will declutter multiple boxes, other weeks it might just be one item. In the process, I am also listing items to my Poshmark Closet!
This week, I started the process of cleaning the craft room. I also sold a decluttered item on Poshmark!

You are doing a fantastic job! I’m ashamed to admit it but my house is just…horrible. There are several reasons for this: 6 of us in one small home, I have autoimmune diseases that slow me down with chronic pain, taking care of my elderly mother, taking care of my grandson, and honestly…depression. My surroundings are an outer expression of an inward thing. I really believe it. I have wonderful people that I adore in my life and home but mental health cannot always be argued with like that. It can be cruel and illogical.
So you are inspiring me to give myself some grace and work on it as much as I can, while also not overwhelming myself. So thank you for that!
You really are taking so many steps forward! Be proud of yourself…you deserve it!
Amazing job!!! ❤️ Checking off a DIY counts as decluttering too!!! Every little bit BETTER IS progress, and the goal is PROGRESS over perfection!!! 😘
You’re doing amazing! Feel proud of every little thing you sort, clean , declutter, donate! Take each day at a time and don’t over push yourself. Set realistic expectations each day, I know it’s hard, maybe do a journal each morning and night, write down the small challenges/tasks for the day, then at night either tick it of the list or write down your accomplishments for that day. Sometimes seeing it written on paper makes you realise how far you’ve come! Setting little goals to get to that big goal, so you focus on the smaller parts of that end goal, helps to focus better.
Don’t forget to make time for yourself and to reward yourself for the hard work, you don’t want to burn yourself out! Take care x
Baby Steps! Things get done and breaks are good! So take it one thing at a time! You got this!
Give yourself grace sweetie. As women we forget to give ourselves the grace to say it's ok and it's getting better. We expect so much of ourselves that we create stress and pain in the process. You're doing great just by starting! Enjoy each step you take and not just the outcome. God bless! ❤
You are doing great! It takes time. Every time I start cleaning I find pictures and memories that distract me.
My dear, you are too hard on yourself. Rome was not built in a day. Take your time. Your goal will be met. You are still grieving, and that's one thing you must try not to dwell on for too long. It's not easy. I still hurt over my mom's passing and that was in 10/2013, and I still cry at times. Then I think of how she would feel if she saw me crying, and I snap out of it. Think of the beautiful memories with your Mom. She would want you to be well, happy, and not feeling depressed or sick. You are awesome. You are talented, and you are beautiful just like your Mom was and just like your sister. We love you here in Brooklyn, NY ❤
Those placemats would look amazing on your table on your porch!!
Mam, I am so proud of you! I saw one of your videos two weeks ago when you showed us the spare bedroom and thats my living room. I wrote to you that my goal was to have the living room fixed up by July 4th so I can decorate. Tge holiday came and went. My dining room table has tons on it from my move in Feb. Im guilty as my Dad can for a meal. My boyfriend and I go out for his bday dinner and then he goes home as there is no place to sit in my living room. My Mom left all to me and i was hoping to huy out my siblings so i could stay living at my Moms but, my sister wanted to make lots of money and i had to leave. During covid many apartments not taking on new residents and all I could find was an efficiency. I woek 11 hour days on my feet most days with a disabled leg. I get home and no energy to work on my place. Now Friday, July 5th get home from work to find we all recd letters taped to our doors an investment company is coming to take a tour of apartments randomly. Management doesnt know ehat apartments will be looked at. Inspection will be the 10th. I lookrd ariund and started to cry and said out loud OH JESUS PLEASE HELP ME. It is 97 degrees in Northern VA today. I do not have AC in my kitchen, bathroom, hallway. All I feel kike i am doing is moving stuff to another room. I have 2 small closets and thats it. I have 3 kitchen cabinets only. Pots and pans are in the fridge and food canned goods etc in the oven. I have one small kitchen counter. I cannot take off work this week my vac is in August with my Dad. Tge letter said there cannot be anything in front of the windows or we will be in violation of agate. Im doomed! My couch is in front of the living room window and in my bedroom is my sewing machine cabinet i have no other place for either. I pray they do not pick my place.
Tomorrow morning i will work on my living room befire i drive to work at 7. When I come home i will work all thru tge night and same on Tuesday night. I donated all my things once i found out my Mom left all her furniture to me. Her wishes were gor all her beautiful suits and blouses to be donated to the group of women leaving the military pr going back into tge work force. I kept sone of tye blouses I gave her and her sundresses as we were the same size. I too have tons of crafts and no craft space until i can buy a home and prices ate so high in VA who knows when that will be. Tye head if sunday school said o can donate craft suppkies to tte church for tge children which i am happy about.
Seeing your craft room and yiur progress has inspired me greatky. I am sorry for all the typos i hage tried to catch many. I have an old phone and i have bad carpal tunnel . The milk crates are a great idea. I live on tte 3rd floor, mo elevator so easy yo carry down. I think lots will be going into my trunk tomorrow night. Also i can out milk crares on their side and wire tie them together and stand on end or put on tge end of my bed and put fabric in there. All my fabric are in heafty bags. I am excited abiut this idea now. See, this video helped me.
Blessings,
Rebekah
Good job. You are making progress little by little. ❤ Stay on course. You can do it, stay positive.
You are making such good progress! Isn’t it just so true that the mess gets worse cleaning up the mess?! I think you making amazing progress and I’m so happy to hear that you’re taking care of yourself by taking breaks as you need them. You’ve go this! ❤
An additional aspect of clutter control is not bringing anything else in the house. Allow yourself only 5 or so projects to work on and the supplies involving them. Get rid of old supplies for projects you know you aren't as interested in anymore. Having all these lingering projects staring at you to be done is overwhelming. Only having a handful and just working on those feels manageable and rewarding!
Listening to you making sense about the project that didn’t eventuate and donating the items for someone else to attempt is exactly where my head needs to be in viewing my stash upon stash of “I’m going to do that one day…” piles. Keep up the decluttering process and I’ll join you from the sidelines…. Perhaps you are going to be the voice in my head I need that makes it happen for me…. Hugs from Oz 😊
Hey Friend, I can completely understand how the mess gets worse before it gets better. And those feelings of not getting enough done by the end of the day. That's me. I used to love the cleaning of my home and keeping things in their place, but as I age my body is not just talking to me but screaming because I can no longer bend this way or that, I can't lift as much as I once could, I don't have the stamina (because of pains) to spend more than a few minutes at a time at it. I'm overwhelmed by my home now. I appreciate you sharing your journey and progress. Take care.
Thank you for sharing your story with me and for your kind words!
We all live in our homes daily and even when we finally do think we have everything in its place something changes, like we find a better system or we get rid of or add something. Our homes are always going to be a work in progress. Just like laundry 🧺 the minute we have everything washed, dried, folded and put away and think we are done and you realize the clothes you are wearing and every other member of the household is the start of the next hamper full of clothes to start the never ending cycle.
Don’t beat yourself up over thinking everything has to be done in one day, I know you know this. We have to count our blessings that we do have a home that at times becomes messy or out of order, but that means we are living in it and hopefully enjoying we have.
You have mentioned having some OCD tendencies and I don’t personally know how that plays into struggles with thinking it must be all done in a day or you get down on yourself but you’re doing great with the progress you have made and continue to take just one bag or box at a time and you will get to the point where you feel that the clutter is gone both from the rooms and your mind.
You’ve got this! ❤️
Silent watcher here, but this video was very inspiring to me. You seem more at peace in the video, and I am happy for you.
Thank you so much! I feel better!
You are so amazing and you need to also say it to yourself ❤ you are going through a difficult time and it's OK taking day by day is being strong. I'm so proud of you. Hugs to you and sweet pip so adorable. Ty for sharing how strong and amazing you are.
You are doing awesome! Could see a nice clean floor! That’s half the battle👍
This is what I had been working on with me. To set my priorities down on paper to focus on for the day. Then make an extra things to do list, not huge or long list. Just things that I know that I can accomplish, on a good day for me. Because sometimes I get things done on a good day and then I am like ok what else can I work on. Looking at he list I can decide what I want to work on. I like to write the day that I get them done, so after I am done with that extra to do list. Then I can decide what other extra to do list to put down on paper. It is not setting me up for failure, just to keep my mind occupied.
Congratulations on getting started! Just keep going one step at the time! You will get there! Blessings!
I love how the porch chairs turned out. Good job on the decluttering!
👏👏👏🙏🏻✝️🥰
Keep up the great work and remember
“Rome wasn’t built overnight”
You’re in the right track, just keep stepping. The porch furniture was a fantastic finish and also helped boost your confidence ❤️😀
Yep right there with you right now! Trying to incorporate my mom’s craft stuff too. Hang in there cuz you inspire me
Keep on going! You can do this! One small 'bite' at a time. Make your goals short-term, small, and doable. When you've accomplished that 1 thing, he proud and happy because it's always a step in the right direction. I know that looking at the 'whole thing' can be very discouraging and overwhelming. You must focus on what's been accomplished and be motivated by that. You can do this!😊👍❤🤗💕
Wow look at what you accomplished! You are donating so much which is awesome! You are well on your way to an organized house!
You are doing a great job! High five 🖐. So proud of you.
Wow! You are making awesome progress! Cheering you on!
You're doing a great job. Little steps will add up to amazing things 👍☺️.
Yes! I have to allow myself to take a break as well - you are so inspiring, wow! 😊
Thank you so much!
You did so good I know how hard it can be.
Set a timer (whatever time you can REALISTICALLY spend on decluttering), and ONLY work on decluttering during that time. Even if it’s only 15 minutes a day, STOP as soon as the timer goes off. You will feel good about yourself because you set a goal and accomplished that goal. Slowly but surely everything will be decluttered.
You got this!!😊❤👍
Love this for you! Good job!
Love being kind to yourself
Thank you!
You are doing a good job take one day at time love you
Thank you!
Congratulations on starting your decluttering of your craft room. I have moved out of my bedroom cos I have too much never to be used paper crafting products. I go to start clearing but turn and leave it's just too much. So I think you should be proud of yourself. It's taken a lot of time to be full so it will take a while to organise . Take care and have a good weekend 🤗🇬🇧
Excellent your doing well , once I get started I finish and I feel better, regarding buying the stuff then sending it to the thrift shop, it’s okay ,we all buy clothes and thing that seems good at the time then don’t wear or use.
Finishing your whole house will take time. Be happy with yourself with w in at you do finish. Look it as what all you have accomplished, not as what all needs to be done yet. I have started to be a lot more deliberate with what I purchase at the thrift store when I go.
Def be kind to yourself any progress is good progress. Please take care of yourself. Great donations. ❤
I can understand all the unopened Dollar Tree items! I've been donating items to our local Buy Nothing Facebook group.
Good progress.
Thank you!
Looking good!
It's a marathon, not a sprint. You're smart to keep reasonable expectations and just keep at it little by little so you don't get burned out and then abandon the project altogether. You didn't ask for any of this and none of it is of your own making. Don't ever forget that.
Looks great
You are making progress!! I am currently decluttering my craft room once a week for the summer actually doing a declutter your craftroom challenge on my channel. You got this girl!!
Wow! That was impressive. Can i have you come do the same for my craft room? Nice job! ❤
Hiya! Looks marvelous Kid... you're doing a great job ..wooden floors look so nice as well....happy you are doing well ~ save your dollar twenty five store receipts and unopened products can be exchanged for items you actually need 😘🌲🦸🤸🧚🤪take care Humboldt County California USA
