Hi celineelse, I believe you can, this is a great way to direct your energy! I need to declutter and actually have been buying taraot decks over the years. I just need to delegate which tarort decks I really want!
My room has so much clutter, I am getting better but need to have more ways to organize! I now inn a year from now Iāll be decluttered.

Ok I started a little bit yesterday with the fabric and this is where I ended
this morning I went over the fabric I was keeping and made another cut. Then I started on the jewelry-making supplies. 6 hours later (I'm far from getting the closet done this week) and I've gone through almost all of my supplies.
Hereās where I stopped today. This is the sell/donate pile
and a peek at where the closet is now
This will take considerably more time than Iād expected but I think I can work through it in stages. finish the fabric and jewelry supplies, then figure out what of the jewelry supplies I can sell and what to donate. then get cracking on listing the fabric and beads for sale and see what happens with this lot of destashed items!

Part of my Spring Cleaning was preparing to move. I took so much stuff to the free table that one person made a comment that sounded like I was buying stuff just to give to their granddaughter!
Iād gathered much of this stuff as craft supplies for my own use. Most of it was gathered in the last year while I was too sick to get into it. Knowing what I wanted to do, hearing their comment, and knowing I wouldnāt be allowed to use what I spent good money on hurt me enough to lash out at them. It isnāt their fault.
I am not at a point of feeling like my cleaning is completed. There are still lots of things Iād have to get rid of if I have to move- and even more if I move out of state. However, my focus in the cleaning process has changed suddenly. Instead of intending to hand out my give aways when the offending individuals are not there, I feel a sense of stopping- as though there is a distant movement, which I have been known to call a whisper. It feels like something is coming which may change everything in my life right now.
I welcome this change. Things can always get worse, but there is a better chance of improvement. All Iām asking for is self sufficiency- an independence wherein I can get for myself what I need to survive.
The whispers I have noticed before were always acurate. I didnāt always understand them, but I learned to trust them. This one is only different in that it is a positive rather than the preparation for difficulty. There is no reason for me to distrust this whisper.
Thus, my Spring Cleaning has shifted from simplifying and decluttering to cleansing and organizing so I can find what I need more easily. I may be in the process of using up overstock, but I have no access to replacing what gets used up. Thus overstocking is necessary for now. When I relearn to trust, I will no longer need to overstock, and Iāll be able to use up what I have for a smoother storage solution/ moving preparation/ long term survival mode. Until that point of trust, all I can do is act on what I see around me and take care of myself the best way I know how: in the moment, yet preparing for a future with no change until I can escape my lease.
I have seven months until my lease is up. Many things can happen in that time. Patience looks like a set of chains to me right now, but may turn into an open door or window. Like the Fuller Brush salesmen of long ago, I intend to put my foot into any crack I can find which will lead to my survival. Not sure why, but our bodies were programmed to survive long after logic gives up.
