Big wardrobe cleanup.


I know a perfect way to create those tiny well organised drawers
( in order to compose my thoughts and to develop self-control :)
only have to clean up my place, that's simple,
a neat place stands for a bright mind :)
Problem is, can't throw anything away; that goes also
for my wardrobe, even when the garments have become far too
tight or too girlish for my age.
OK, i made a decision, I'm having a big cleanup and will post
in the next following weeks all the knitwear i once made that
are worth while of showing here.
Only need to make the photos ...

This is my crammed wardrobe, and...



...these are not my legs, i wish they were.
The same for the shoes!

  4. can't wait to see all the knitwear.
    i feel like i am the tidying up sysiphos, if i am not working i am obsessed with it cause i want to get my mind free for the real things, but it feels like there is no end...
    i sorted out our wardrobe between the years, it is a whole room, i've been announcing it for 2 months and had several incompleted attempts!
    Now my car is crammed with bags, each one meant for another 2nd hand shop or place of donation, i am sure this will take me another 2 months to finally get rid of it.
    did you wore flipflops recently?
    so your home must be warm again, wish you a wonderful week!

    I'm cleaning too here, I just started from the living room...now is total chaos, it will take a couple of days.
    Good luck with your beginning of the year cleanings :)

  8. ha! it seems my entire house is a disorganised shitpile! it rather torments me. i sometimes think if i just did one drawer or one cupboard a day then i might get there eventually. yes, i will do this, you've inspired me.

  12. Oh, I understand so well! I also decided to declutter a bit this year - started last week on my wardrobe - but it is SO difficult! Some stuff goes into the bag, then I take it out again - I keep on thinking that I must be able to use it for something! I think it comes from being born in an era with the ethos 'Waste Not Want Not'.

  13. oh yes. I've done the 'big purge' and although very difficult and painful at times... it feels very very good now.

    Cleansed. And light.

    go for it.

  14. Good luck! You will feel so much better when it's over. In the U.S. I donate my clothes to Goodwill, help people out and get a tax receipt to boot. Do you have it in your country? Happy New Year!
