de cluttering

I'm of the mind that less 'stuff' makes for a clearer mind.  yet I've never quite been able to achieve, well either of those things really. moments of clarity, sure.  but not a totally

clear

mind.

this year I'm on a  mission to increase THOSE moments.  

so far I've been handing old clothes over to the op shops, cleaning up my computer files and discarding of the stuff that I can't justify holding onto any longer. ie the shoes that I loved for so long that, when I wore them I was walking on the pavement instead of the sole...I dearly hate throwing this stuff out. stuff that I see still has potential.  and is perhaps not quite 'dead' all over, but my head has really run out of S P A C E for the things i know I will not ever get around to 

fixing/reusing.  

  this month i have also started to de-clutter the studio.  after 5 years of, 'maybe that item of clothing will come in handy'  i've begun to move things on to new homes.  i also bought this plant

asplenium australasicum critatum

or 

crested bird's nest fern

-an australian native-
and this op shop plant. 

can you tell me what it is so i can make it happier?

i'm finding them rather inspiring

 as you can see from the pics, the de-cluttering has not yet begun in my office area.

take it one corner or drawer at a time they say.  hopefully in the next pics of my studio you will see clear spaces and less 'stuff'...

Oops I missed it...

Oops I missed November.  

Oh yeah and December too.  

But I'm back. 

January.  

A time for NEW.  A time for FRESH.  IDEAS!  Resolutions!  Aiming high, moving forward and getting better.  Better than what?  Better than before I guess...  So long as I'm moving , well preferably forward but backwards works too at times.  Two forward, one back..you get the deal.  

My goal for this year is to get better at doing stuff and to learn other 'stuff' in the process.  There.  That's vague for you!

Better at promotion and marketing.  

Now there's a thought.  Thanks Peppermint.  You've set us on the right track.

  HAPPY NEW YEAR

What a lovely idea.

 I never really got the whole blog thing.  

But now I'm starting to 

REALLY

like it

which also means 
spending time to check out other peoples blogs.

 I recently stumbled across a blog call A Disorganised Fashion, then discovered to my delight that Leah, from Milly Sleeping was the owner of this blog.  Then, the other day I was even more stoked to find the MüCKE shirtDRESS illustrated on A Disorganised Fashion.  Leah is clearly very clever with words and pictures.  On top of that she's been sketching for a great cause, froctober.  Haven't heard of it?  Neither had I.  Check it out here

You can purchase this pic or any of the other frocks Leah has sketched, for just $10. 
Head to her site for details.

Beautiful.  
Thanks Leah.
