I am in the process of getting rid of art and craft supplies that I can simply no longer use. This is not because of a lack of desire to use them, but because of increased neuropathy, muscle weakness, and arthritis in my hands.
This is proving to be harder than getting rid of other things. I can easily get rid of clothing I no longer want. I can, with some difficulty, get rid of books, CDs, and movies. I can get rid of kitchen items and dishes.
But art supplies are another matter entirely! Not only am I getting rid of the supplies, but I am also getting rid of the creative hopes I had for them. One thing that makes this bearable is to give them to people who can still use them.
So, I am working on getting rid of what I can no longer use to make room for the things that I still can do.
But, I would be lying if I said it was easy.
