A New Year and NewYear's Resolutions

We are into the third week of the new year already...hard to believe!  Have you made any New Year's Resolutions? For me it was not so much a resolution as it was a list of what I want to accomplish this year. I have had so much on the list that I stopped adding onto it and started to delve into it head first. Yes I have accomplished quite a few!

The first one was to clean and organize my bedroom closet!  Well... with the help of my son David it was done in two days...I removed most of my stash and moved it downstairs into the "WOOL" room. I need to take a minute to thank you all for supporting me in this effort...and purchasing from my "leftovers" from my store...I actually had the room to put the cabinet that was overflowing with to do projects in there.

It took me the second day to reorganize my tools and accessories in my bedroom...I could not believe how many stitch holders, row counters, etc that I had!  Now I can go into my closet and reach in two seconds what I need instead of searching for hours and wasting precious stitching time! I still have a few UFO's in the few drawers and these are on my check list for later this year.

The other thing that I have accomplished from my list is to clean, organize and move cabinets in the "WOOL" room. It took David and I another two days to accomplish this...for those of you who have come out this past month to guild night were privileged to see the results!  What a change.. moved the cabinets back so the light is more useful.  I was amazed at the amount of yarn that was sold and how much I still had in boxes and baskets. There is newer yarns on the shelves so you might want to take a new look!  I am feeling so much better that my home is getting organized and neater!  Now I can search out and use my time more efficiently too!

How have you organized your stash? would love to have you write it down and we can post it here!

  1. Although the bulk of my yarn is in rubber maid buckets that are now stacked in the living room and being used as a cat tower/perch I have a basket hanging in the studio of finger weight yarn and specail yarn for shawls. Shawls I want to do and gift to family as I haven't reached that point in my life to wear that many shawls, despite my attempt to do so.
