I have culled three shirts to be donated. In the midst of the summer season, it is easier for me to assess what summer items I really don't want to wear and to enjoy the many things I own that I do want to wear. This brings me to a net outflow of 15 clothing items in 2018.
Rosarugosa I am in for July...I have been lacking off on the decluttering and a lot of other things too....lol
Taking July 01 as the first day of this half of the year and getting my life in order.

I'm finishing up the handstitching on 2 new charity quilts that will go to group on July 14That will be 11 yards of fabric out of my stash along with a piece of batting 54*120!
I sent a whole box full of odds and ends of "hardware" and tools to my church for Circulation Day---
which was postponed from yesterday to next Saturday, as the teens wanted to go to the march for "Families Together!"
Side note, I am so proud of those kids! They also organized a carpool and rounded up about 85 adults to go.
A lunchbox. I could never get it really clean despite washing it in both the sink and the washing machine. I replaced it with one that sparks joy.
Some dingy plastic utensils. The remaining unbroken pieces of a set of plates and saucers.
