12/28 decluttering!
i'm currently decluttering like crazy! i have so much stuff to get rid of, to be honest, it makes me feel so overwhelmed...i wouldn't say that i am some sort of hoarder, but i have a lot of small things i have picked up over the years that i have intense attachments to..knick knacks, clothes that i thrifted and haven't worn that get dusty in the back of the closet..i feel like, when i see them, it gives me this anxiety that prevents me from enjoying and "living" in my stuff. going through my wardrobe and seeing things i dislike, it demotivates me.
so, it all must go! or not all of it, just a lot of it. i'd like to make way for some new, cleansing energy in the new year, hehe. i started this project about a week ago and hopefully will be done ????? whenever
books too, tons that i've gotten at garage sales that i've wanted to use for collage materials, or to look through. to be honest, i might try to still go through with that idea, but we'll see! it will take a long time to organize all my paper ephemera. T_T
im feeling so ...........overwhelmed by stuff! people, just please take my things so i never have to see or look at them again! maybe i need to rewatch that marie kondo show..hmm..
i'm also doing this because im planning a spring wardrobe, which i haven't really done before. i'm giving myself a budget to scourge for ebay sales, it's pretty exciting. similarly above, i've always been overwhelmed by things i've tried and didn't like and have held onto, so i think streamlining like this will help me appreciate the seasonality and features of my outfits, and give me more of an excuse to dress up on the day to day...
other things i'm working on..a "mini me" blythe for one of my besties upcoming birthdays :D! with some custom knitted and hand beaded clothes / accessories to match. i'm not going to lie, i'm no good at sculpts, and wish i had a dremel to hasten the process, but i think she's coming along nicely. i plan on dying the hair today a darker brown, since it came way redder then i expected.
