So, I realized two nights ago that my knitting and crocheting supplies are officially out of control. I'm starting to avoid going into my craft/computer room because I don't want to face that mess. I also can't find things. I know I bought a set of size 0 bamboo DPNs to make a Harry Potter bookmark that I need right now can't find anywhere. I'll be darned if I'm going to spend good money on new ones. I have several skeins of yarn sitting around that I bought with a purpose in mind, but now have no idea what that purpose was. Every time I go into my craft room, I cause skeins of yarn fall to the floor. I also have lost the Chibi needles I purchased. I still have the case, but the needles are nowhere to be found (shhh, don't tell Marcus — he hates it when I lose pointy metal objects. They usually find their way to his hand).
It's time to get this stuff in order. No more new yarn until I find a way to organize my current stash, including what project it is meant for. My hooks and needles need a permanent home and I need to catalog them on Ravelry. I just bought a duplicate hook the other day because I couldn't find one in the size I knew I had to have had, but it's probably hiding with another project or just somewhere it shouldn't be.
I realized that the totes of my acrylic yarn (that I rarely use) is taking up valuable space in my craft shelving. I think I'll relegate those to the closet and store the new yarn in that space. Maybe I'll actually be able to get to my embroidery machine and my work surface and get some quilting and embroidery done.
I deal with enough nonsense and chaos at work everyday. I shouldn't allow it at home in my "me" time. My crafting is what usually brings me peace and saves my sanity. Right now, not so much.
