Cleaning out

Spring cleaning has come really early for us this year. We're getting the house ready to list - ideally on March 1st. This means going through 5 years of stuff, getting rid of what we don't need/want, packing stuff we don't need right now, but will want or need after the move, and then sorting through everything we're keeping. It's seriously cathartic. Why do I hang onto so much stuff? My house feels calmer the more stuff we get rid of and pack away.

Part of this now is that I'm trying to finish all those outstanding projects. Believe it or not, in the last 24 hours I've completed two of my 3 WIPs. Crazy. And I like them both. I did another dishcloth - I love the finished product, but hated the way the pattern was written, so I wasn't into finishing it. Now it's done. And the sweater for Jackson is done. It's gorgeous and I'm sending it down today. He was born on Friday, so I'm only a little late.

Now onto my last WIP - my socks. I just haven't felt like working on them, but now I'm going to finish them - before we move.... hopefully!
