How I evolved into this blog being created ...

with the normal spring cleaning soon arriving upon us ... and the home being once the centre of my world and the crafts it creates 

And the month of love too ... not that we need a day to do so ... and with dealing in my atypical circumstances, in clearing what is left of my home with the usual, mixed with the unusual and some very different circumstances to the extreme. 

On the first days of the shock that rippled out of such a death of a friend, and a family member, a lot of them were soon de-cluttering in their ways and means too ... it stirred a lot of emotive behaviour.

I have come across some of the stashes in life we accumulate any way ... mixed with the excesses of a human behavioural trait that went wonky for a while, and not being able to cope at that time ... to what is now left from a mass clearance by strangers ... and other circumstances.

This is a taster ...
