The 100 Day Project - Week 11

Welcome to Week 11 of the #100Days100ThingsDecluttered new mini-series here on The Joyful Quilter!!  I started The 100 Day Project on February 18th.  I'm still shocked that I finally committed to it.  It's particularly popular on Instagram.  I have been hesitant to participate before now.  I'm releasing weekly updates for those of you who might be interested in seeing what goes out the door.

What's your project, again, Joyful???

I signed up with a different idea in mind than most.  You can read about it HERE.  That link will tell you all about my project.

While I have exceeded my goal...

I'm still NOT stopping!!  I am continuing to declutter my home and studio for the entirety of the 100 Day Project.  I really want to free up MORE space for more creativity.

Here's my progress for Week Eleven from all around the house, studio and garage:

22 balls of yarn gifted
  1 shopping bag
  1 old magazine
  2 outdated food items
  1 handful of fabric scraps
12 buttons




Week 11 Total: 39/100

Updated Project Total:  293/100

Here we are with a number REALLY close to another milestone...

So I went on a hunt for 7 additional items and found the following:

1 duplicate nail polish
1 ball of yarn
1 gift bag
1 package of dried out pigment ink
3 unused eyeglass cases

Revised Week 11 Total:  46/100

UPDATED PROJECT TOTAL: 300/100!!!

Thank you to those of you who continue to encourage my weekly decluttering efforts!  I appreciate your kind comments and your willingness to cheer me along!  Jeanne @ Loving Retirement responded to my post with the following:

I am so impressed that you are still decluttering! I did get through two closets of clothes and added another box to donate along with a little more in the garbage bin! I finally got things donated today - some of the kitchen items really wanted to stay but I got them to the thrift shop just in time!


I replied with something like this:

Thanks, Jeanne! Congrats on getting more out of the house!


Please know that...

I will continue decluttering through the end of the 100 Day Challenge.  My goal for the past week was to focus on the studio.  While it doesn't sound like it, I'm calling the week a success because the majority of the items listed came from there.  Come back next week to see what goes in the box during the next 7 days.

  1. Well done!! I think week #11 was a success - for both of us. I'm at 286 items right now. This week I'm going through a couple of more crates of books we have no interest in keeping. I'm having fun lightening the load around here.
