January Happenings

 2026 started off with Flu A making it’s way to everyone in the house. Luckily we have all been vaccinated so I don’t think it was as bad as it could have been.  We recovered and then the cold weather arrived. 

I do like winter but Wow this is frigid.

My January project has been cleaning and declutterring our home.  My sisters and I had to go through my Dad’s things when he passed away in 2023. He lived very remote and had hoarding tendencies. It was so difficult. There was so much stuff.  I’ve know for a while that I have to watch what and how much I buy or collect.  It is easy for things to accumulate. Clothes, shoes, and house hold items are not my issue. I like little trinkets and I’m a bits and bobs saver. I have cards, paper ephemera, and childhood memories (mine and my kids.) These are the current focus items. I hope to make each of my kids a memory box and a photo book of some of their art work. 

The top box and basket will be the first that I tackle. Every small amount I deal with is better than doing nothing at all. This is going to be a slow process.

Besides the cleaning and declutterring I am very close to finishing my Half and Half Triangle Wrap. I don’t think I’ll finish in January but hopefully early February.  I’m not sure what my next project will be.  I have several WIPs I could choose.  I might just start a brand new one.
