*Giggles* We only de-cluttered (a bit) because we needed to make room for the workmen to work - new windows, rewiring, an actual fitted kitchen... We couldn't afford it, but we managed to get a government grant which gets paid back when the house is sold. Our wiring was ropy and we didn't have enough sockets, the windows were wood and the frames rotting and nearly falling out, and we han no work surfaces in the kitchen at all and hardly any storage space. Still not much storage, but the worktops are brilliant and we have double glazing finally. Most of our stuff is in storage, but we're still cluttered and in a mess. I can't motivate myself to sort anything just yet - still too tired.

Oh, I HATE sewing, I was useless at school. I can sew on buttons, but that's about it. I love doing cross stitch though - I end up with something pretty and all I have to do is follow a chart! I'm also a keen knitter, though I haven't done much for a few years as I made myself so many sweaters and cardigans. I can do macrame (tying knots, basically. Have you seem the wols I make? There are pictures on my journal somewhere) and I make earrings, which is pretty easy except it can be hard on the eyes when working with small beads. I just like making things =) I have pierced ears so I make dangly earrings that I would wear myself.

I have books on hauntings and things like that too. I've never seen a ghost, but my mum and my aunt both have been visited by deceased relatives.

*hugs* Have fun!
