Is your craft stash preserving creativity—or creating stress?
Craft supplies can be especially difficult to declutter because nearly everything still holds creative potential. That fabric could become something. Those tools are still useful. And inherited supplies may carry memories of the person who owned them. I’m joining Sandy Krokaugger for the Reduce the Clutter Summit, where we’ll talk about how to decide what genuinely belongs in a working craft stash, what can be rehomed and what your family may eventually need to know about specialized or valuable supplies. My interview is called The Craft Stash: What to Keep, What to Rehome, and What Your Family Needs to Know. The online summit runs October 19–November 1 and features practical conversations for people who want less clutter without trying to become minimalists. My class will be available on Wednesday, October 21

Hi, Reader! Spooky season is upon us! The skeletons are emerging from storage, the ghosts are being hung on the trees, and tombstones are littering the yards. Fall is coming! Monday was our first chilly day in Indiana... and it was much enjoyed. As the pumpkin spice starts to flow, so do the Halloween costume ideas. I wish I could say that my kids' costumes come first, but I'm normally working on them at the 11th hour. Plus, they often change their minds. That early September idea is nowhere...
