I was going to wait till Wednesday to blog but I'm too excited!!!!!
To start 2012 I decided to sort my stuff out. I was good and only did an hour then an hour rest etc so it's taken me a while but it's sorted! I am just so happy. My kind husband let me get a new bookcase for the bedroom so I could sort my books and things out.
Then above our cupboards I now have all my yarn sorted. Each draw has a different colour in and in the baskets each bag holds a different colour. I know where everything is and can easily find everything now! Since I learnt to crochet I have been buying bits and bobs off ebay and going to wool shops at the market etc for the exact colour. I have recently bought my first yarn from a yarn website so the plastic bags hidden round the house just weren't good enough anymore. Everytime I go into the bedroom now it just makes me smile :-)
The cardigan is a wonderful present from my mum and dad for christmas.
The pictures are of my son and some of hubby as well. Each year we get a calendar printed for all the family of different pictures of little red (my son). As the year ends and the calendar is finished I cut out the pictures and put them up round our and my sons bedroom.
Hopefully now I'm organised I'll be more productive with the yarn I've got :-)
What space do you have for all your crafty things.
The other thing to squeee about is I've ordered some things so I can try some different things this year. I can't wait for them to come, pictures will be posted when they arrive but it might take upto 25days to arrive :-(. I have ordered a full set of tunisian hooks, tunisian hooks with the flexible ends and a set of knitting needles. All are in bamboo because I love working with naural hooks and needles. I wish I could afford wood but I am hoping to get one of my favorite sized crochet hooks in wood for my birthday - roll on March!
Anyway it's time for my number one son to go to bed. Hope you like my post. Let me know what you have set-up for your things.

I sat in the kitchen floor last night and emptied three (yes 3) boxes of yarn out onto the floor. Hubby walked by and said NO MORE YARN. I gave him a sweet puppy dog face and said please just a little. I got it all sorted and put into two boxes somehow. I would love to have a little more room in my bedroom to store some of my goodies. Maybe one of these days. I will post some of the yarn pics on my blog. Have a great night.
