eBay experience

Well, I did try eBay again. Listed 18 items-sold one. Whoopie-finger twirl! Not sure I want to waste my time with that.

My husband says we WILL participate in New Paris Community Garage Sale June 1st and get rid of some things. He has been cleaning out garage. I need to get busy and round some stuff up. It is time to eliminate some of the clutter in our lives. Also if I live to be 150 I could not get all the projects done that I have material for. Not sure I can even read all the books I have and want to.

I hope to get more projects done, but when you have sewing patterns for girls from size 3 to 14 and no granddaughters that size anymore it is time to get rid of them. A lot of them have never been used-such was my dreams and goals.

I would advise everyone to try and accomplish what goals you can. Life is too short:) Of course if I quit watching TV, Pinterest, Facebook, blogging, games and searching on the computer I might get more done.

Being a creative person is not easy. You have dreams and goals and things you want to create and NOT enought time to do them. When you are working you think I will have time when I retire. HA. When you retire, you slow down, tire easily and time goes tooooo fast. Also the things you thought you were going to do it seems "what's the point".

Ok, reading this over I sound a little down and I am not really just a little discouraged. Time to get busy and do some sorting.


 

giving ebay another chance

Well, I have decided to give eBay another chance. I guess you can list 50 items a month without a listing fee and free pictures. So I am working on putting some vintage sewing patterns.

Some of these are totally unused and uncut. One of my failed goals-patterns bought for making grandkids some clothes. Also some are from my patterns of items to make for my kids.

I did do some sewing for my daughter. Made dresses for her when she was in kindergarten and first grade. I also made pj's for both my son and daughter.  By the time my son was in first grade I was working outside of the home.

I am getting slower and slower

Well it is taking me forever to get pictures taken and posted of what I want to elimante from my supplies.

It seems like I get more disorganized as I get older. I remember my mom saying she had two speeds--slow and reverse. I thought it was because she had polio when I was little and she walked with a limp. I honestly think it was also because as you get older you don't move or accomplish in a day what you did when you were younger.

I am hoping to get pictures up soon!

I am wishing everyone a blessed Easter. May God spread His love over His people and draw them closer to Him.

How often have we heard that phrase and can finish it. "They often go awry".

 

Well after my post yesterday, I decided to take pictures of some of the things I need to eliminate. My camera batteries were dead. I find I do not have the size I need in the house so now it waits till Saturday-store day.

 

I really struggle with trying to accomplish something and not getting it done or how to do it. I am also not a good organizer. When my plans change or do not go the way I think they should it really throws me. I can totally understand how "hoarders" get caught up in their messes.

 

I have a mess in the dining room. Box for things to donate to Goodwill. Box for things for my grandchildren. Box for things for my sisters. Box for things I would like to sell even tho I am not sure yet how I will do that.

 

Does anyone else struggle with sorting and organizing items? Am I the only one who cares about these things? Are the grand kids or my sisters really interested in what I have set aside for them. What to do and how to sell doll things or vintage items?

 

Sometimes I just am so overwhelmed I cannot accomplish anything.
