November Update IV

 I've definitely underestimated how much time and energy I would be able to put into my projects these past few days. December is going to be a busy month, for sure. I have numerous projects to complete, especially within the first two weeks of the month since I need to give them away as gifts soon. (I'll get more into the details in the December Box post)

I do have pictures of what I've decided to declutter for the minimalism game:

Day 26
(Books and a knitting needle set)


Day 27
(A few clothes -- more updates at the end of this post)


Day 28
(24 magnets, 2 sheets of paper, a Kirigami set, and a bookmark)


Day 29
(A variety of craft supplies -- more updates at the end of this post)


Day 30
(30 hanger clips)



Extra Items that were Decluttered

31 more hanger hooks


14 more books


6 small canvases


39 old batteries



1 broken projector


I decided to declutter more items because I kept some items, listed here:

I couldn't part with these boots or this Spanish set.

I also couldn't part with these 9 clothing items.


Out of the variety of craft items that I decluttered on Day 29, I decided to keep the tools, the ziplock with the wires and the orange and blue string.



Here is most of the items that I decluttered together:




I learned a lot from this challenge. I am more conscious about the items that I bring into my life. I also realize that I don't need much to feel happy. Furthermore, I found that whenever I get inspired to create something, it's better for me to act on that inspiration rather than to wait, which I most likely won't get to that project with the same enthusiasm again.

I'd say that I got a lot done this month. I decluttered a lot of items and can feel a sense of relief. I don't need to keep looking at those items and feeling guilty that I didn't choose to use them. December, like I said, will be extremely busy, but I'm going to work on discipline for the next month! Stay tuned!

Thank you for reading! See you in the next post.

October 2020 Plans

      For this month's plans, I will be working on a few projects that I thought are really cool. They all turn out to be crocheting projects, but it's worth it, especially as the weather turns colder.     The first project is a gingham blanket, which I have always wanted to try, but never got around to it until now. I was amazed by the pattern that Daisy Farm Crafts, on YouTube, shared last year. I plan to use my three sets of Caron Simply Soft yarn to create it. I have 3 of each shade of blue and actually started it last week:   4 rows completed     I definitely need to work on the tension since this is my first time making this pattern, and I could already see some parts of the blanket as being looser than the beginning part. (I just placed it nicely in the picture so it wouldn't look so wonky.) I know I should have created a swatch first, but I couldn't wait to start. Here is the video to the tutorial: Crochet Griddle Stitch Gingham Blanket by...

October Update I

 This past week I was able to work a bit more on the blanket and start on the sweater, which I was able to find some unused yarn from storage: Hopefully this will be enough to make the sweater. As for the blanket, I was able to crochet three more blocks of rows and start on another. I'm thinking this blanket may need two months to complete since I will mostly work on it over the weekends. Starting to look very good! Seems like it will fit the width of the bed. I also started on the long-sleeve sweater with the heather gray yarn. I restitched the collar portion three times in order to get a cleaner look. I am excited to create the rest of the sweater! The top collar was redone twice. I decided to try for a third time by making the collar at the bottom. (Took about two hours to make one collar!) Added the bottom portion of the collar. After stitching the collar ends together.
