Observing

I started observing my own personal 'random acts'; I've noticed that I like to hang things. I am quite an organised person and I find comfort in when objects and my possessions are in their place. However in reality, at first glance, my room often doesn't look especially neat and tidy...I do admit this is quite a contradiction! I have realised that for me, organising my stuff isn't a case of everything being tidy, its about grouping objects together and knowing where everything is.

I have a series of hooks made for hanging jewellery on, (top pics) yet I regularly find myself hanging an assortment of different objects on it to make them seem more controlled. I also use the hooks to hold letters or paper that I need to remember to take places.

The pictures below the hooks is an example of my 'as long as its in something its okay' philosophy. I have a rather small basket that I put clothes in that I wear to the farm (where I keep my horse), the basket is right near the door, so the clothes (which often can be a bit smelly!) feel very separated from my clothes in my wardrobe. The basket is far too small for the amount of clothes I keep in it, but I continue to pile them up on top of each other...I don't know why I don't just find a larger basket or sort out the clothes in a more efficient way, but while the clothes are concentrated in and on the basket, this isn't something I feel I need to worry about.

Finally the bottom picture is two items of clothing, hanging outside the wardrobe. I tend to do this when I buy new clothes, I don't really know why...
