day 11 : goal 11
buy some really cool antique thing to put in room, to place organizational stuff on

i am looking for a sweet side table or something like that to put wicker baskets on so i can put all of my crafties in. yesterday, i went through my whole closet & threw into boxes what i do not need & will be taking that stuff to the salvation army today. i am also going to try and look for an old, cheap, beautiful piece of furniture that will look great in my room. we will see how it goes!

i am also going to the farmer's market for the first time on saturday today with my friend ann. i am totally and overwhelmingly excited. squash, pumpkins, greens galore!

farewell for now,

day 10 : goal 10
go through & get rid of things unneeded

well... my internet was down for a few days & i haven't really had time to blog somewhere else. but i did have goals for the past three days-- they will just be shortened. goal 8: rearrange room. check. goal 9: buy something to put crafts in. fail.

today's goal is to clean & get rid of stuff so i can actually fit in another organizational thing in my room. i really need a place to put all my buttons, knits, and crafty stuff. i would really like a little workspace in my room so that's what i am really trying to get together this weekend. tonight & tomorrow morning. we'll see!

day 7 : goal 7
clean room & possibly buy something to keep room organized

so i really need to keep my room organized. not to the point where i just shove everything in my closet so my room appears to be clean while clothes are still strewn all over the place. i actually want to keep it clean & organized. so my goal today is to clean it & then see what i can possibly purchase (hopefully from a second hand shop) to keep everything in its place. will i be successful?

goal semi-achieved

i went to target today to look at desks & come to find out, i am indecisive. like crazy. i found what i thought would be the perfect desk, visualized it in my room, saw how everything would organize, got some bins to be even more organized and put everything in my cart. 25 steps away from the checkout, i changed my mind, turned the cart around and put everything back. i think tomorrow i will go to goodwill & this little antique shop i have always wanted to go to & look to see if i can find anything there. i am happy with this decision. i tried, i found something, i decided it would be too much money & may not be the perfect thing for my room, so i did not buy it & thought how to do it for less.

it is only easy to spend money on things i splurge on. like vibram five fingers shoes, vintage buttons and cycling tights. hopefully this mindset will come to an end.
