I love dumping all my yarn on the floor and rolling in it.
I’ve also opted to do another crazy thing. I took photos of all of it. Every single skein.

Fabric Stash: All the colors of the rainbow!
Friday’s post really inspired me to get my act together and organize my fabric. Each box is 11″ x 12″ x 14″. I opted to sort them by color, which seems to be my best organizing option yet.

On Finishing: Taking Stock and Charting Progress
I can count on just my hands the things I’ve bought from the craft/yarn store this year: painting supplies for a painting class, yarn for a pair of socks, yarn for a present for my mom, fabric for a shirt and dress (I actually made both, so that’s good.), a small fabric kit. Yet, I still have more craft supplies then ever. Friends routinely give me fabric (which I love) and so I always have an over flowing source of fabric for project making, hence all the fabric projects here on the blog. In fact, it’s the largest category in the project archive.

Hook and Needle Drawer :: ReDress!
It’s great having a place to put all my stitch markers instead of just putting them into random little pouches and bags and cubbyholes.
I redid the wooden 4 drawer set I had mentioned yesterday. It wasn’t really hard to do but made me feel really good. Kind of set the rest of my day on good footing you know. Here is what I did:
