I'm in!

I know your thinking this is a shameless post about finally getting into the "Big R" (ravelry) But, you know I'm already there. If not, you should add me (dixieredhead)

Anywho, I'm IN @ yarnpirate. Whats that? You mean you aren't in the know? Simply a cool place to get a monthly stash enhancement without worry! Signups were this afternoon @ 4pm PST. I sat round the house waiting...and waiting...and waiting. But, it wasn't in vain. I'm in. And, can now wait...until said enhancement comes knocking on my door. YAYS! you could always join, too! come on over, if there is still room.

what? so I collect yarn

I have realized I have a small problem. Hubby and I were talking when he mentions I have my "yarn stuff" all over the house and I couldn't contain it if I wanted to. To which I reply, its not that much and yes I could get it all organized if I wanted to. But, its nice having a project +supplies in the living room, and another in the bedroom, and yet another, just in case project, and one in my car, for when I'm out and about visiting and what not.
So, that inspired me to just see if I could somewhat organize my small little hoard of thread/yarn. Not to daunting of a task, right? After empting my "thread chest" and closet in the bedroom, and the yarn trunk in the laundry room....and after emptying the 2 chests in the living room and the wip bags and boxes. I realized. I do have a problem.
But, you know when we find a good deal we must purchase and store. I have been grounded yet again from purchasing and storing LOL. I have to get some of this stuff worked up. I didnt realize just how much stash I really had. I'll leave you with pics of sorting, storing, and all those pattern books I didnt realize I had. Moral: have better hiding places.
