Still sifting through all the boxes in the attic. I have come across a lot of stuff which I realise is related to a type of fantasy. An imagined "maybe one day" world where I will have time to read all those books, paint all those pictures, sew all those quilts, stitch all that cross stitch and knit all those jumpers. Some of the hobby related items I have managed to pass along, dispose of or recycle, like the box of 1000 leaflets saved to use as patchwork papers. Of course I will hang on to the knitting patterns featuring Roger Moore before he was The Saint and the back of an aran jumper inexplicably knitted with the brightest red yarn I have ever seen in a size so small I doubt it would even fit my teenage Daughter. The first because it's interesting and possibly a collectors item (isn't that how we kid ourselves about a lot of our clutter) and the latter - hmmm, maybe I will need some scorching red yarn, in my fantasy world when I get time to read all those books, paint all those pictures.......
