Four back issues of Vogue Knitting's dreadful Knit.1. Sold to a colleague through the ICN for $2.00 each.
I really, really, really hate the designs in this magazine. I used to like them. Now I just find them so tacky!

Fabric. (Yes, still more fabric.)
Three pieces of fabric, sold to a colleague.
Quilting cotton with tools on it, black stretch velour (maybe from my old roommate?) and grey leopard-print fleece. I've never even come up with ideas for what to do with these.

Fabric.
Two pieces of fabric. Sold to a colleague.
More stuff from Fabricland—a piece of black denim (too small to do anything cool with) and a piece of weird stretchy red polyester that sort of changes colour in the light. Exceptionally ugly.

Fabric.
Three pieces of polyester dress fabric. Sold to a colleague who is just learning how to sew.
These pieces were out of my stash from when I worked at Fabricland. None of them speak to me anymore. My sartorial choices have definitely... Matured.

Knitting Book.
Yes, yet another knitting book: Vogue Knitting's Very Easy Knits. Sold in via the ICN at work for $15.00.
Yup, still getting rid of lots of knitting patterns. So freeing!

Doc Martens.
Sorry for the crap image. Taken with my phone again. |
Lug-soled eight hole Doc Martens, men's size eight. Sold via the ICN for $25.00.
I bought these at Ragtime about six years ago and have only worn them a handful of times. They have moved on to someone who will actually use them.

Garbage and Recycling.
OK, maybe it's not really fair to count garbage and recycling in "a thing a day", but hear me out.
It's not just, "I threw out a banana peel." When I was packing for my move, I got rid of:

Camera.
Tiny little digital camera (smaller than my palm). Gave it to Andrew.
I bought this a couple of years ago at Giant Tiger for $5.00 and promptly forgot about it. I ran across it when I was packing, snapped a couple of photos on it and tried to load them onto my Mac. My computer wouldn't recognize* the camera or the software. I gave it to Andrew to see if he could figure it out.
*I'm sure there's an easy enough fix for this, but quite frankly I'm happy to have gotten rid of something so if there is please don't tell me.

Magazine boxes.
Ikea Flyt magazine boxes. Gave them to the same girl I gave the magazine back issues to a little while back.
Since I got rid of so many magazines, and I rarely buy magazines anymore, I gave these away. That felt really good.

Adhesive labels.
Various adhesive labels. Also given to Natalie Joy. (She's picking up all this stationery for the Ottawa Fringe Festival office to use.)
Again, this goes back to my whole "I always buy stationery supplies" thing. Although, in fairness, I haven't done that since I lived in Huntsville and wrote a lot of letters. Because I was poor and didn't have a computer or the internet.

Bubble envelopes.
Bubble envelopes. Also given to Natalie Joy, who took some stationery yesterday.
I used to work as a radio DJ (as I mentioned before here), in the days before it was common practice to e-mail an MP3 of your demo to potential employers. I used these envelopes to mail CD copies of my demo. Since I don't work in radio anymore and rarely mail people CDs, I didn"t need to take up space with these. If I ever do need to mail a CD, I can go to the store and get one.

Stationery.
Various pretty letter writing papers and stationery. Given away via my free-for-all to Natalie Joy.
I sometimes have hoarding tendencies when it comes to things like bath products and pretty writing paper. Natalie Joy stepped up and said she wanted some of my stationery supplies I was able to let go.
