Wet Wednesday!

But it brought cool temps so I'm not complaining!

Yesterday was still hot so I stayed in and did some "organizing".  Yarns specifically...

I made labels for bins and tags for bags..

I do have a "stash" of yarn which I didn't have 3 years ago......how did that happen?

I sorted the yarns by weight and fiber content; bulky, worsted, sport weight and then also by cotton, wool, and acrylic.   I've learned more about fibers too since those years ago.

I used bags I already had for WIP's.  The yarn and the pattern are together and the needles/hooks if they are attached to the project.  They hang from hangers in my crafts/guest room closet.  I 'm not finished yet but I figure when I run out of bags that should indicate that I need not start any more projects! LOL!  There are 2 closets in that room; one for sewing and one for yarns.

Hopefully this will save time when I am looking for my projects.  Everything will be together in one bag and the needles, hooks and supporting tools will be in one container instead of being in various places.  Usually, I do "divide and conquer" but that's to put things in their rightful rooms but after that it is grouping likes with likes.

While I was rooting through organizing things I found a FINISHED item!  I guess I actually do finish things occasionally and then I let them "ripen" in a bag for several years.  What's up with that?  But I was thrilled and just in time for Fall.  It is a punch needle design and not sure what I'm going to do with it.  It was my first punch needle project.  It's a great way to use up floss as it uses quite a bit of it.  There are kits out there too.  I think I got this out of a Needl' Love pattern book but don't quote me.
Any suggestions?  I was thinking a box topper but I would need a round box.  I'll keep you informed.

Remember how I said I wanted to do "homemade" decorations for the various yearly holidays?  Well, guess what I found and I didn't spend a cent!  Two patterns I had previously purchased just perfect for Fall............a table mat.............

and a wall hanging............I was so excited!  Still am! LOL!

Now, you'd think with all those WIP's in bags and patterns and gifts to make for Christmas that I wouldn't dare start a new project....well, you'd be wrong.......I cast on another project....but in my defense...I tend to do that when I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.....go figure...I know it makes no sense whatsoever but there it is.....at least I'm using yarn I already have.  Right?

 I hope you are having good weather where ever you are and that you enjoyed your day.
Happy Trails!
