Hosted over at Lit and Laundry, go see what other people have Finished for Friday! And don’t worry, it doesn’t even have to be craft-related. And, um… wanna know what’s not finished right now? Yeah, that would be packing suitcases for tonight’s flight. D’oh! But, onto the craftiness:
This week, mine is all about organization of space. For a little while, I had taken over my dining room as craft-central. But it was getting unbearably messy, and downright ridiculous if we were actually trying to have people over for dinner. So we moved it upstairs to one of the only remaining potential places: the guestroom. Moved the bed over, hauled up a folding table from the basement, and set up shop. Now, if I could only actually find the energy and time to actually use it! Plus, it shares a wall with the nursery, which makes me a little wary to use it during the fiercely-protected naptime. But my new sewing machine is fairly quiet, so we’ll see.
I also finally organized my yarn and fabric stashes, such as they are. Compared to a lot of die-hard crafty folk, I know mine is laughably small. But it was enough that it was scattered all over the house in various bins and bags, and needed some containment.
I got three drawer units from Target, and with my trusty label-maker, I went to town. One unit for fabric (organized more or less by color), one unit for yarn (organized more or less by weight/gauge), and the last for all of the assorted supplies. Knitting needles, quilt patterns, fabric markers, excess ribbon, all of it. Finally, neatly put away. Ahhh.
If only I could say the same for the rest of my house. Sigh. I may need an intervention.
