The Living Journal of Iris

My name is Iris. I am the wife of an amazing Husband of 17 years. The mother of four wonderful girls (all grown and gone.) And 12 even greater grand children (moving ever so fast towards adulthood.)

No,life is not a box of chocolates it is more like this huge roller coaster and we just roll with the twist and move on. You cannot control people or things, only how you react to the person or situation.

Waking up after life has started racing by

  I have reached a point in my life where finishing some unfinished business has become more important than having fun.    Finishing some of this stuff has a high price though.   However  in the spirit of "cleaning up my life." I have decided that there is a twofold process that i must endure to accomplish two tasks.

 First, I have spent many years collecting tons of fabric that i have absolutely no idea what to do with. And some of it I cannot imagine why it even came home with me.  Maybe my taste has changed.

 Second I have to pay for college.  I am five classes from finishing my associates degree. And I start the summer semester in two weeks.  Without a job.  Now this is not much to someone .  But to me it is a very awesome thing.  Not many people know why.  But i will keep that to myself for now. I want to graduate in the spring.

So my goal is to sell as much fabric, that i don't love, and can bear to part with.  I have spent the last two days going through, sorting and measuring.  Then taking pics and listing.  I am making a dent in my stash and hopefully lining my college account.  I so far, once the people pay, have almost half of one class funded.  I am so excited.  And that is just one day.  I am feeling this huge relief from all the decluttering.

Wish me luck.
