Girls Act Too Tough Enough Is Enough
After my rant yesterday about Whip It, I watched the rest of the movie…. (SPOILER ALERT) and I actually really liked the rest of it. 
The next scene I saw was the underwater swimming and it was so sweet with beautiful cinematography, I really liked how they didn’t come up for air like mermaids. Then the bad comes all at once; her parents find out, her best friend gets mad, Iron Maven confronts her for being only 17 and then she sees her boyfriend with another girl. The way it all crashed down on her is so true to real life and all the obstacles one will face how when they dare to do something extraordinary. And then their team didn’t win so that made me happy too. So I admit I am a fan, since I didn’t correctly predict the ending….
What is the extraordinary thing you want to do/are doing?
Mine is this blog and The Eyeline, I’m really proud of these projects.
……but I’d also like to play in a rock band.
To The Outfit
Clearly I’ve been feeling patterns this week, today’s more subtle. I’m also wearing my third fixed piece from the sewing pile.

How To Store Socks and Tights
Living in a small home of 600 square feet with my husband has it challenges, such as getting my own space and having company stay over but mostly storing all our stuff! When we moved in here 3 and a half years ago massive downsizing was required. One thing that I haven’t downsized since living in warm Vancouver is my tights and kneesocks collection! As it grew and grew I had to move my bathing suits and comfy pants out of the bottom drawer of my four drawer dresser and into the closet.
Here is an overall look at the bottom drawer.
I got the idea from American Apparel packing their tights into resealable plastic bags to put my other stockings into ziploc baggies. When the bags are sealed (or on an angel so not open at the top) it not only keeps them organized by color, is space saving and time saving, it also prevents snagging on the wood of the dresser as of course this drawer is overloaded! These 12 plastic bags hold 23 pairs of tights. Three pairs of much thicker tights are on their own bottom middle and a pair I haven’t opened yet at the top.
On the right side kneesocks are also organized by color and stuffed to capacity or I’d be making another sockdreams order.
If you have any tips to add, please leave them in the comments!
