Organizing "old" Stuff ~ 11-16-11

When my grandmother on my dad's side of the family passed away I accumulated quite a bit of stuff. Some of it was crafts, other stuff was nick-nacks, other was stuff I thought I might need when I set up house.

To be quite honest most of the stuff has just sat in boxes. Our neighborhood has a garage sale twice a year but it's finding the time in between garage sales to go through stuff while still having a place to put it that is out of the way and not in the middle of the garage that Michael desperately wants a "Man cave" built into.

At any rate, over Thanksgiving break I decided that I needed to check off some things on the proverbial to-do list. So, I tackled the craft stuff in my closet.

The sewing basket was Mama's basket. It held a variety of stuff from thread, sewing patters, zippers, pictures, receipts, and even a band medal from when I was in junior high!

It was therapeutic going through all the stuff. Brought back some memories and hopefully one day I will find the time to put some of the craft stuff to use.
