My closet purge happens this week weekend ... I'm optimistic - especially with my handknit "exception". Yikes - seven weeks out of one suitcase?! I have trouble with one week, so this is going to be good practice for me.

I have had trouble paring down the closet too. It took living out of one suitcase for seven weeks to see that I didn't need all that I had when I came home to the closet. It's still a work in progress, but I just think back to my trip and find the energy to pack another bag of giveaways. You can do it! Yes...handknits don't count!<br />AprilUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16220713350006914282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-46635821409084037672017-02-28T18:04:32.103-05:002017-02-28T18:04:32.103-05:00I am also a 50 items (sans knitwear and outerwear)...I am also a 50 items (sans knitwear and outerwear) person and it all coordinates. It's simplified my life a great deal. I fell off the MoL train right away.

I would not say I am consuming less news, but my news is less hyperbole and more content via - WaPo, NYTimes, NPR, and PBS Newshour - mainly on Monday and Friday's. I just removed more clothes that no longer fit and my summer wardrobe is non-existent. Perhaps just a few things is the smart way to go! And, the fountain pen rabbit hole... I am sorry (or probably not, lol) for directing you there! I am looking forward to Michelle's Just 5 things... the best focus ever!

I don't think I could do Project 333 -- but I do try to limit myself to 50 items or less per season. I'm amazed at how easy it is, once you get started. (But . . . it's a good thing I don't knit sweater like you do.) :-)Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-67522380046326273202017-02-27T20:02:32.194-05:002017-02-27T20:02:32.194-05:00Yes to less news!

I bought one fountain pen, but my wish list at JetPens is longer (and more $$$) than my wish list at The Loopy Ewe! I am continually paring down my wardrobe, mainly because I live in an old house with hardly any closet space. Just over the weekend I got rid of two bags of clothing that I hadn't worn in over a year, but I also don't knit sweaters like you do. :)Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-15409295934235905382017-02-27T18:57:09.624-05:002017-02-27T18:57:09.624-05:00With you 150% - less news - that endless cycle, o...With you 150% - less news - that endless cycle, over-n -over tho' I don't agree with the criticizer-in-chief's assessment...also, Marie Kondo's book is a tad repetitious but there may be some tips that resonate. Borrow from the PL - if you can get your hands on it! Your less/more lists offers a lot of good thoughts to ponder, if not adopt. Carry on and thanks for sharing.<br />Cheers~Honoréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328955991011872557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-45211024012777948722017-02-27T14:05:17.692-05:002017-02-27T14:05:17.692-05:00Gratitude, connecting, yoga, prayer, it sounds lik...Gratitude, connecting, yoga, prayer, it sounds like you're doing some very good self care things.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438414339444169303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195641087108033893.post-83748133615128754182017-02-27T13:33:21.166-05:002017-02-27T13:33:21.166-05:00Good post and thanks for the Pilates link - I'...Good post and thanks for the Pilates link - I'm signing up. I did read Marie Kondo's book...it was ok...it did not really encourage me though. But, over the past several years I have drastically gotten rid of "stuff" (clothes and other stuff). It is liberating. I've still got a way to go though.... By the way, saw a new (to me) 19 Crimes over the weekend - Warden. I didn't buy ($17 which just annoys me - gotta love PA laws), but was wondering if you have seen this one and tried it?Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.com
