Parring Down

Out with the old, in with the new. I firmly believe that in order to bring in new (new stuff, new people, new experiences), we must clean house and part with the things that no longer represent us. I spent the better part of this sunny Sunday parting with the majority of my CD collection. My collection began in 1993, when I received 'janet.' by Janet Jackson for Christmas and it's been compiling ever since. Twenty-seven CD's I felt were worth keeping, while the rest were reduced to iTunes imports. In the same way that babysitting is an effective form of birth control, surveying one's accumulation of stuff is definitely a shopping deterrent.

Lots to Learn

I wish I could say that I haven't been posting because I've been busy making. Unfortunately, I find myself in that vicious state where I criticize my ideas before I make them. I managed to bring this idea to life last night and it's probably the worst piece of clothing I've ever made. But it's a start.
