Leonie–you are a mindreader! I love the idea of just a few classic, well-made items in one’s wardrobe. I have a plan to do just that! Thanks for helping me not fell crazy!

I just saw that Australia is in the Tsunami threat zone as a result of the earthquake in Chile, and immediately thought of you, Leonie. Sending protective energy & prayers of safety to you and your family. Peace, Love & Light from a sister in Florida.

i actually have cleaned my closets and drawers a lot … but on my list was to clean my daughter’s closet … i found some clothes to give away, old toys and books and before i knew it, i had an entire truck full of stuff for goodwill! feels soooo good. cleaning your kid’s stuff is hard, so many memories and my daughter is a natural pack rat (every note, every card or scrap of paper saved … where did she learn this?)

i love this … i feel like i am getting a handle on things and if i just do this little bit each week, it will not get out of control.

now to tackle those piles of photographs waiting to go into any album … oh, next week!

Hmmm, I need the weekend to get to this one (it’s already Friday, and am just catching up on email/blogs). May shift this to cull five sewing patterns I am never going to get around to using, to make room for a few newer, more appealing ones that are on their way.

Well I did it. And it turned into a whole trash bag of stuff that needs to be donated to somewhere and a smaller basked of stuff that needs to be repurposed and finda new life. I feel much better with now. I had liek 12 plain white t-shirts…I think that might be overkill. I am hopinh to go through my closet again next week and get rid of some more stuff that I couldn’t decide on this time. Thanks for the challenge!

As I am loosing weight and have to buy new things on a regular basis (don’t worry I love that bit) I have to let go of clothes regularly as well. As for the new things I buy I only buy “love” items. I bought this pair of jeans and they are heaven. For my current size I only have two pairs of trousers. And I survive. I have 5 tops, that I love. And guess what I survive. My wardrobe is pretty empty… a few things that I kept from my lighter years that I may wear again when I get to that size.

This is the most perfect time for me, because I am going to an Overeaters Anonymous workshop/retreat on Saturday, and there’s always a clothing exchange. You bring clothes that no longer fit you, and you can pick up new ones that others have brought. The truth is that I have several bags of clothes that I haven’t worn in forever (which are different from the bags of shirts which I am saving for the day I learn how to make them into a quilt…) but I have not had the courage to get rid of them. I am on a journey of recovery from compulsive overeating, and this journey usually results in weight loss, but by the time I fit some of these clothes that I’ve already been hanging onto for years, they may be more than 3 or 4 years old, and they may not fit my style anymore. Truly, I think that these old clothes are just a symbol of the time when I thought that just forcing myself to diet would make me lose weight. That thought was not accurate in my personal experience, and it was harmful to me. So I think I can release 5 of those items and put them in the clothing exchange. Thanks for giving such a good, yet doable, challenge!
