Overwhelmed!

Ugh!  The discards were overtaking my room and I just couldn't think anymore, so today is clean up day.

And of course when there is clean up--there are more discards.  No, one or two items day here. 

Here are the discards from the past few days. 

And here is a preview of what is going to Salvation Army or the trash. I'll post an updated photo tomorrow of all the stuff leaving my home.   

22. Upcycled Hair Scarves...

...from a favorite shirt that just doesn't look good on me. (The rest of it is going to Salvation Army.)



I made these with only a pair of scissors-no sewing or glueing.

Oh, and the polka dot tie looks great as a band around my new black hat.  

15 Thru 18

I kept thinking that I had to write something which was slowing/stopping the postings. From here forward I will just post and write when I have time.

15. Desktop Publishing Collage

I kept the Home Office Book--turns out there is some info in there I can use. 

16. Communication Textbook Photo Collage

Skipped a day...

17. Origami Whales

From that pile of craft magazines on the left. 

18. Cover Letter Photo Collage

Although I have seen this book at the dollar bookstore, I had a difficult time cutting it up because it is still useful for someone.  So I only did the photo collage. 

Now I am all caught up on my postings. Whew!

14. Cherished Clutter

Day 14 was spent getting my discards posted, so again...just a discard. But! It was a rough one.

I almost pulled it out to keep today; but, the truth is: as long as I have had it (years), it has never warranted a prize place on my wall. It's been tucked on shelves, hung to fill space, and it was never used what it was intended for.

Maybe it will make its way into another creative discard before I drop the bag at the Salvation Army.
