Welcome to the Folly Flora BLOG - CLUTTER CHAOS! 

  • CLUTTER - chaos, disorder, muddle, disarray, hodgepodge.
  • DE-CLUTTER - make simpler, streamline, reduce, disentangle.
  • CLUTTER CHAOS - overwhelming accumulation of items that lack a designated home or use.
  • STASH - to gather, squirrel away, hoard, curated items deliberately kept and stored for future use. 
  • DE-STASH - to scatter, sell, reduce, remove or use items from an acquired collection.
  • STASH BUSTING - to systematically sort through the stored and often forgotten STASHED items and either CASH (sell or rehome) RE-STASH (keep and use) or TRASH (discard or recycle)!

INTRODUCING - my CLUTTER CHAOS!

The PROBLEM - my once workroom is so full to overflowing with craft related items, it can no longer function as a 'workspace' and has become a disordered, muddled, chaotic storage room!  

The PLAN - Treasures have accumulated over many, many years. I know I am not alone, many have a similar fabric, yarn and craft materials obsession. I admit I am addicted to the 'potential' of craft supplies. I am setting myself a challenge to reduce my STASH and resolve my CLUTTER CHAOS! 

The PROCESS - By taking small steps, sorting contents of one box at a time, I must either use it (CREATE), give it away (DONATE), profit from it (SELL) or recycle it (SKIP) - STASH BUSTING! 

The GOAL - is to return the present chaotic STORE ROOM to a functional, open WORKSPACE again, with controlled storage of curated STASH only and CLUTTER free working surfaces!

The TIMESCALE - by no means an easy task, I will require discipline, dedication and determination. I have given myself an optimistic completion time of 2 years from October 2026 to December 2028.

WILL I MANAGE to CASH (sell) TRASH (discard) or RE-STASH (keep) my coveted CLUTTER CHAOS?

STASH BUSTING - STEP by STEP - BOX by BOX 

WHERE to START? How did I let it get into this state in the first place? It is an overwhelming mess entirely of my own making. The time has come to reinstate the room to its former glory.
