Stash bust

Spring has come and gone, and I tried to do some spring cleaning, really I did! I started with my yarn stash. Oh boy.

WHO has this much yarn? Well, me. And this isn't even all of it. BUT I cleaned it out and got rid of a lot. In fact, last week, I dropped off two HUGE bags of yarn for Handmade Hugs - it's funny, because I usually pick up yarn from them! But someone else can make use of it, instead of it just sitting shoved in the back of my closet. I also dropped off two finished blankets for them, the green granny and the granny stripe blanket.

I also took the time to organize the yarn that I kept in a nice fashion. I have 2 big clear plastic bins, filled with beautiful yarn. As well as a couple of smaller containers. It's a huge improvement - now I can find like colours and weights. Wheee, yarn!

Stay-cation activities: Yarn cleanup

Last week my niece Bri came over to help me clean out my yarn stash. This was WAY overdue. Doesn't she look happy?? We pulled out all the bags and boxes of yarn and unfinished projects. This isn't ALL of it, but it's about 90%.

Bri on a phone break. Progress! We can see the floor again!

We packaged most things into project bags and "like" yarn. It's way more organized, that's for sure!

Two bags of yarn to donate, and two bags of clothes to donate (I tackled my closed the day before).

That's one giant vacuum bag full of yarn, and one plastic container of organized supplies and smaller balls of yarn. Feels GREAT to be so organized, let's hope I can stay organized, at least for a little while.
