Unfortunate Side of Organization

There is a down side to having an organized space.  With a place for everything and everything in it’s place?

I can see exactly where I have room for something else.

D-oh!

I know exactly what I have, what I don’t have, and thereby, what else I think I need.

Okay…want…

I start to think in terms of ‘this is really great, but you know what would make it even better…’

That’s the crack talking, and it won’t stop.  Ever.

So I back off, talk myself down, look at what I have, and see that my craft room is good.  It’s very good. 

It’s a room, for pete’s sake.

That having almost every back issue of Interweave Knits (except for 4) is adequate.  More than adequate, actually.  Just one example, by the way. (edit: I think I have found 3 of those four back issues on Ravelry from someone who is de-stashing some mags...)

And I have plenty of yarn and fiber to keep me knitting and spinning and dyeing until the cows…or maybe sheep...come home.  Plenty.

Which, however, will not keep me from purchasing a bargain when one appears.  I am nothing if not honest with myself.

Nor will it keep from making a purchasing of something extra-ordinary.  Like this:


Stansborough Grey. “Stansborough Farm, in the Wairarapa district, NZ, has the only flock of Stansborough sheep in the world making this fiber truly a unique find. Stansborough Grey wool was woven to make the famous costumes for Lord of The Rings and Narnia movies.” 

And being the complete LOTR dork that I am…I will say no more.

Oh, that LOTR stuff makes me drool, too, and I haven't even seen two of the movies!

Never any such thing as too much yarn or too many magazines. Ever.

Love your new banner! Think it's my favorite so far!

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
