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.   

26. Pens

It may not look like much but it is sketch of an awesome idea for a layered mosaic.

I used the bad Pens from these cups to sketch it.

23. Roses and Overalls

I have a favorite pair of patchwork overalls that I would love to wear backpacking, but they're cotton. So, I am going to make a pair with suitable fabrics for backpacking.  I cut some fabrics from the day's discards to use in the overalls.

The day's discard also included a Vera Wang skirt that was ripped and frayed at the seam.  I comtemplated

Duvet cover and an old shower curtain that I haven't used in at least 10 years--but I "love"

it.

I made these fabric roses with some remnants.

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.  

22. Kumbaya

I absolutely love this!

However it sits outside unused no matter where I go (got it years ago when I lived in Wisconsin). Much of the time it isn't even the centerpiece where it sits, and it doesn't exactly fit with the home decor.

21. Smell Good Thingy

Such a fight to get discard Partylite items but I've never been a fan of this style anyway, so away it goes.
