The 100 Day Project - #100Days100ThingsDecluttered - Week 8

Welcome to Week 8 of the 2025 edition of #100Days100ThingsDecluttered, a special edition mini-series here at The Joyful Quilter!!  I started The 100 Day Project last week.  I'm excited that I've committed to it, again.  It's particularly popular on Instagram.  I was hesitant to participate before last year.  I'll be releasing weekly updates on Tidy Up Tuesday for those of you who might be interested in seeing what goes out the door.

What did you say your project was, 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.

The gist of my focus...

What's in the box, Joyful???

Well, first, I filled the suitcase shown above before moving to the art closet:

A box in the bathroom called to me when I went to take my medicine.  I've been meaning to donate a few more pairs of glasses, but kept forgetting to take them to the Vision Center:

And finally, the box, where you can see items from the kitchen and the studio:

Then, since I was so close to the next my next target, I dug into the linen closet: 

Thank you to those of you who encouraged me in my decluttering efforts last week!  I appreciate your kind comments and your willingness to cheer me along.  It really helps keep me going on this decluttering journey.

Carole @ From My Carolina Home blog reported on her own decluttering:

I have been doing a declutter challenge as well, the 21-day one that takes categories of things in the sewing room for attention, like magazines, rulers, cutting implements, fabric, etc. I decided to tackle my card making supplies as well, and pulled well over 100 items to put up for a stamping supply sale. I hope to have the sale next week. In the meantime, fabric and notions are going to the exchange table at guild.

Chantal confessed the following in a recent blog POST:

Decluttering is still an on-going adventure. Sara did such a great job that it spurred me on. I'll keep it for another post though as this post might end up including the kitchen sink.

And here's what Sara had to say:

I spent zero time sewing today but did clean out part of our master closet. Lots more stuff leaving the house tomorrow.

Cherie chimed in with this comment:

Yay! You go, Joy. I have been more mindful of decluttering as I go about my day but haven’t yet given it my full on effort.

To which I replied:

Decluttering as you go about your day makes quite a difference, Cherie! I find it to be better (and less overwhelming) than trying to do a BIG purge all at once. That's exactly why I've made it my 100 Day Project two years in a row!
