Probably both! I finally got all my yarn organized yesterday. It only took…oh…about 10 hours! Nope….not kidding!! The way it was organized before (by color) wasn’t really working so I had to figure out a different method. It is now organized by texture and fiber (i.e. bumpy vs smooth, thin vs thick, shiny vs matte etc). I also made up a tub of yarn to be used for baby items. I know this borders on OCD but it really helps cut down the time of sorting through the yarn for my next project. I also changed up the way I store my wips (crochet lingo for work-in-progress). The wip and it’s yarn go into a clear container/bag and are placed in front in the closet so that I will remember that I have other projects to finish and go through those first before I start a new one. There is really no particular way to decide which project to work on at any given time (unless there is a time deadline). It’s just whatever artistic mood you are in at the moment.

This has probably been one of the most boring posts I put out there unless you too are a craft-aholic. For those of you who aren’t…I have posted the following two pictures. That way…at least this boring read will have pictures you can look at!

Before the new re-org….

And after….

Now…on to organizing the sewing side of me…..(groan)……
