Well, since this will be my first 'blog' ever - what better way to start than a post about wiping the slate clean and starting anew?
My husband and I have recently moved from NY to CO, and are LOVING it... and I am loving the extra bedroom/guestroom/CRAFT room! He generously downgraded his computer desk to give it over to me as a craft desk (lots of compartments!) and I could not be happier... well... maybe...if it was organized, that is. :)
I am a craft junkie. There - I've said it. I have a serious problem. So much so that when my sister was helping me pack up in NY, and we were using one of THEEE largest boxes in the whole place to pack my yarn - she looked at me and said.. well, "You have a serious problem". It's okay though, because my obsession makes lots of people happy. Was she thinking about the amazing buttery colored yellow alpaca lace scarf that I knit her (albeit over the period of a year... but whatever) when she told me I have a problem? No. Or the baby sweaters I seem to be knitting everyone but myself? Nope. So - it's a 'productive' obsession. And clearly, one I feel I need to be well stocked for. (See picture.)
I can not pass up a good deal on yarn EVER - because you never know what awesome pattern you are going to come across or who is going to need a rainbow boucle dishtowel - naturally -... so.... I'm well stocked.
My goal for today is to turn this madness into "managed chaos" and have a place to sit and knit when I'm all through. Gone are the days of leaving circular needles and stitch holders all over the place - we are at the dawn of a new era. The era of organized crafting.
My hope for when it's all through is to have the guest bed set up as a "daybed", compartments assigned for various things, all of my yarn 'stashed' (inventoried) on Ravelry, and all of my circular, straight, and double pointed needles and crochet hooks listed on Ravelry. This is an all day project, if you haven't guessed by now.
Stay tuned for how this process progresses. :)
