I’m talking about the hording I’ve been doing for the last couple of years. On Boxing Day, or as we say it 2^nd Christmas day, I started to thinking about my mess and it got me motivated to get of my bum and do something about it. So this morning I started with my wardrobe. I have a lot of cloths, but I usually wear the same things. I definitely have my favorite items and the rest is left in the closet. Some items in there are too small, but I keep them because maybe one day… Then I also have the things with prints that would makes you look like you got stuck in your kiddy years and other item are so old that they could go to a museum. I know it takes up space and it’s a waist to leave it there but I don’t have the heart to part with some things…

Yep that’s where the problem lays the most, the parting bit. Especially when it comes to my t-shirt collection. Some are from my exchange year in 95-96 and I cannot and will not part with them. They, together with ‘some’ others, are in a Curver box on top of my closet. But the box is almost overflowing and I have to tackle the problem. But how? In total I have 30 t-shirts that I don’t wear, some have never been worn at all, but I don’t want to toss them out because of the sentimental value they have. But what to do with them?

After surfing the web I found some cool idea’s here and here. Taking pictures of the t-shirts before giving them away so that you can still look at them, cutting some of your favorites up and make a scarf out of them or recycle them in some way.  Tomorrow I’ll start taking the pictures and maybe pick out some shirts for a scarf.
