The Chinese New Year has its animal designations, I think this year is the year of the monkey, so I decided to give my year a designation (an acronym is more specific.). This is my year of the CUP. It is described as:
Complete it - all those almost/mostly finished project need to be completed
Use it up - be it fabric, yarn, zippers, flour, protein powder, etc. use it OR
Pass it on - give it away, too old - toss it, but move it out if I have no use for it.
William Morris said "Have nothing in your home that you do not find to be either beautiful or useful." I am adding has it been used. I have a lot of "useful" things that I no longer use. Passing them on they may find new life in a new place.
I am aiming for 15 minutes at a time to go through drawers, cupboards and bins. I did my first 15 minutes on Sunday last. I surprised myself at how much I accomplished. So I will be setting a timer and doing another 15 soon. I may not get to it everyday and some times it may be 5 minutes or 2 hours but I will do it.
Now a quick recap of 2015. There were many projects finished last year. Some were old and some were new but these are some of the finishes.
