That's what I decided to do - put it in boxes and store them - clearly marked, too.
Right now I cannot find my dresden template ANYWHERE and guess I'm going to have to buy a new one. I could have accidently dropped it into the wastepaper can without realizing it. It's driving me nuts !!!

I have to declutter frequently...that does not mean that I don't have too much stuff!! My husband saves everything...sometimes I throw away and donate just to feel on top of things.

I too keep fabrics that I should get rid of. Ok even I think this is odd but I keep a paper sack of quilting magazines and fabrics in my car that I am not going to use. I try to find someone to give them to that I don't know or I pack it up and give it to someone I met that is going to school or someone who just needs some fabric. Kind of like passing on a little bit of good to someone else. Feels very good and it helps me get rid of fabrics that I really don't want to get rid of.

Why waste energy being mad with yourself? If you really want to declutter, just do it. Normally, it is fear which prevents us from letting things go. Don't be afraid. You will have enough of what you need even after you declutter. It may be decluttering triggers some other fear from your own life. Can you identify what it might be?
