SPRING To-Do List

So, I have been mentally preparing myself for spring cleaning. And I have also been getting my closet ready. (Not that it could use any extra items). I think this list could apply to almost any season, with a little tweaking. You're welcome.
To Do List:
1. Donate out-of-date, too small, worn-out clothes to Goodwill, or sell the higher-quality items to Plato's Closet - Done! I made $25 off some gently used clothes.
2. Organizing my closet: accessories, shoes, and by item (pants, skirts, etc).
3. In so doing items #1 and #2, designate items intended for refashion projects! Draw sketches, make list of needed supplies, and set-aside time in my schedule for my projects/sewing time.
4. Put away all clothes from the previous season in rubber totes. Keep items that will work under a cardigan for Fall.
5. Set aside items for next season on Lay-away at my favorite department stores, since it won't be cool enough to actual wear them and not sweat bullets for at least a month. -Done! TJMaxx and Belk had some great pieces that I have already set aside to be picked up soon. I found a couple of tops and an easter dress
7. I'm getting my Pinterest boards ready and full of inspiration! I might crash their server. Probably. Follow me if you aren't already. It isn't hard to find inspiration on Pinterest, throw a mouse click any direction and you'll find any number of things to make you wanna grab your glue gun and/or scissors.


Somewhere in-between reading the umpteen essays and poetry for my English classes, work, and my other classes, I will be finding time to look fabulous. I am making myself make an effort to not be a hot mess. Not being a morning person is no excuse to not be dressed to impress for less :) If I, the naturally lazy one, can, then anyone can do this!
Watch for updates!!

The Find of a Millennium!

I know I'm not the only nerd in North America. We are proud race, Genius Smartassius, slowly taking back America.
That being said, I think there are other people who could benefit from the site that I found!!

Spoonflower Awesomeness
 My Geek inspired Pinterest board where these are posted, along with other smart people stuffs!
Allonsy!!

They have a plethora of fabric to make all kind of paraphenerdlia with! Pillows! Capes! Sheets! Dresses! Headbands! Forts! Tardis Pillows! I could go on but I don't want to be redundant.

They have collections for Sherlock Holmes, Star Wars, Doctor Who, as well as Steam Punk, Science, Robots, and Science Fiction! Here are a few examples of the rare gems I unearthed (or...unwebbed?)
The minute I perform my own refash using Spoonflower fabrics, I will be excited to post it on my blog to share the awesomeness!
