Today I have tackled my studio. I can not call it decluttering because very little apart from rubbish has left the room. It is exceedingly difficult not to think 'I might need that for a future project' especially because excitingly/ fingers crossed/subject to administrative procedures/with a fair wind, I might…

Managed to sneak two hours of gardening before the rain started again. Some block paving and gravel weeded for a short spell of time; the weeds are loving all the moisture and will be back in no time! I found these lovely copper coloured fern leaves beneath the beautiful lime…

Clothes sorting was Day 6's task. I found this particularly difficult and think I have kept too much in the hope that one day various items will fit me again! This is an image from a jumper that will be winging its way to the Barnsley Hospice Shed soon.

Thinning out my non- art and craft book collection was today's task. The rest will be revisited another day. A few boxes of books to be rehomed means I can now get all my art books on the book shelves. Ironically, I came across two or three life laundry/how to…
