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.
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.
