Stash Organization, Day 3

Eight years worth of yarn ...
I own a lot of yarn.

Day 1 was dedicated to just hauling it all out from the nooks and crannies of my apartment. I spent a good deal of Day 2 marveling over it --- I have a mini-yarn store taking over my living room -- and finally got around to finally figuring out what to make out of what. On Day 3, I paired skeins and balls with their patterns. While not all the yarn has been assigned a project, I have to say that I'm impressed. I've got at least 20 projects in there.

Let the yarn diet begin! Kind of. It's more like organizing my fridge.

But yarn really isn't like food -- it never goes bad if you take care of it! So, it looks like I'll be making less trips to the local yarn store or Jo-Ann Fabrics. No excuses. Except maybe for needles. And an occasional magazine. Maybe some markers.

Giving the gift of knits

    


















This is the first year I've actually completed all my Christmas knitting on time! They are all mostly hand-wrapped and ready to go. I hope everyone enjoys them. Next are the Christmas cookies and cards!

A homemade veggie tale

'Tis the season for zucchini, summer squash, and tomatoes ... I'm no vegetarian, but I don't mind forgoing a steak for pasta tossed with veggies and a light sauce made from Boursin. Dinner is served!

From Munsonian to Louisvillian


I loooove my new city. It has coffee shops, malls, restaurants, park --- anything you can imagine. Okay, it's not Chicago, but it is definitely an upgrade.
