Here are the cages of yarn, all full. Still more in the closet. It is multiplying like the tribbles Scottie, save the ship Captain Kirk!
Oh well, I tried. The room was sort of clean for a whole day. I still have two large pieces of furniture to remove and a pegboard to put up. Maybe sometime in my lifetime it will get organized. Maybe not.

yarn cages


Maybe I can tame the stash a bit with this wall of cages. No escaping now you yarn! :-)
Stacked and ready to put up yarn wall of shame. My stash is bigger than even I knew, and look at all those books!!

chaos

I haven't had time to enter pictures or posts on here lately. I have been reorganizing my whole house. It was a total mess. I will post pictures when I return from vacation and you will see what I mean. It is 3/4 done but we are leaving to go to my mother in law's house for a few weeks. No computer free time for me. When I return I'll show my shameful before, during and after photos. That is if my hubbie doesn't go and mess it right up first thing. We need a bigger space for all our hobbies. Then again, I just visited a friend in her late 70's and the more space; the more junk you accumulate. It scared me to think that could be me too. I'm definitely on the way. Makes me want to get rid of more stuff. I can't part with it yet. Maybe when I die you can all be on my inheritance list to get "stuff". I'll have to post it in a will or something--"stash goes to deserving looming friends" or something like that with a list of my yahoo groups. Sounds like fun. When you see my stash you will understand. I have been going overboard in no small sense either. Think BIG!!!
Gotta go pack for the trip and close my groups till I'm back.
See you all in June.

this weeks post

I feel like this week was the same as the last post. I mowed grass for two days, got stung by a wasp 4 times and now I am helping a friend out with her dads funeral. It also stormed again tonight. Didn't this week happen just like that last week? Any more illness or death needs to stay at Satan's door not mine-Be gone Devil! There I spoke it.
I started on Square two of our afghan loom class finally. I hope to get the basket weave scarf moving along and done soon. Then I want to make the pinwheel blanket. I am behind but oh well. I won't let that stop me. I just need to find that pattern...hmm, is it under pile A, or was that B or C? It may even be in the living room. I'll find it soon, then the hunt for the perfect yarn out of my stash. That could take a whole day in itself. The looming will probably be the easy part. When I clear off a space I will sew linings for the two bags I made. I need to hurry that up so I can use my bag. My other one is just a bit to small for me. I have trouble carrying my checkbook and my inhaler and my epiPen with my other junk in such a small bag. I think this one will suit me much better. I have to finish it since my husband wants to take a trip at the end of May. I will be without a computer for two whole weeks-boohoo. Now I really want that laptop. This second hand computer already has problems too. I'll see what Santa can do for Christmas. :-)

long time no see

I haven't posted on here in a while now. I have been busy knitting, and painting a bedroom. I stalled on the bedroom since I can't move the desk without help. Then the carpet gets out the door. The paint is dry and I have one more blind to put up. Then the rearranging begins. I'll post a picture real soon. I finished felting my striped bag finally. I still have to make the lining. I also made a small child's bag. A little girl wanted to learn how but she gave up after a few rows. I finished it. Now it also needs lining. I will probably do both of those tomorrow. Last week was a bust. Only the painting got done. I had to help with a funeral and Wednesday was just a weird day. This week is going better but I'm not finishing anything yet. Hopefully tomorrow. Today we had storms and a Tornado went about 4 or 5 miles west of us. We were sitting here waiting for it at dinner time. Luckily it went North and when it hit the lake it weakened. This is Tornado season here and we get many. I live in Tornado alley.
