Simplification Sunday: Week Thirteen

I don't have any good photos for you this week, so I share this one from WWF. This fella is a Rockhopper penguin, and is pretty much my favourite thing ever. I'm getting really jazzed to go and see his kind and more at the penguin habitat at the New England Aquarium next week. Hopefully a short excursion to Boston will sate the Wanderlusts . . . but probably not.

This week in simplifying I -

- finished a quilt that I'd had in progress for years
- finally closed my extra bank account! (If I could say Hallelujah at this time of year, I would, but I can't so I won't . . . but seriously Scotiabank, you don't make things easy!)
- and I had the great idea to set my egg timer for 30 minutes and just go through my house and throw out or add to the destash mountain anything I could think of . . . this led me deep into the recesses of  The Tupperware cupboard! Whoa! My last roommate was a bit of a chef and left me with about 37 lids and 19 bottoms, none of which were mated, none of which I'll ever use. So I recycled what I could, matched up a few to keep, and threw out anything that had to go.
