Hi everyone and welcome to episode 25 and today we're going to talk about how to declutter with the

things that you've made. So this is something that I personally really struggle with.

And I'm hoping that Haley can give me some of her tips because she's a lot better at it than I am.

So we're going to cover five different questions that you can ask yourself when you have

trouble throwing out a handmade item. And then three practical tips for getting yourself to

declutter without feeling really terrible about it.

So that's what we're talking about today. And I'll start because I, like I said, I have a really

hard time getting rid of stuff I made, Haley. Like I'm really not good at it. Even stuff that is

handmade that I didn't make. Like I have stuff that we decluttered from the sewing studio that I took home because it was cute.

And I like, I still can't get rid of it because I know it was handmade.

I am just really, really bad about it.

And I am particularly bad with my knitting projects because they take so long.
