Got Stash?

My goal to deep clean stalled out at the master closet. It's not that I stopped working. It's that I got...distracted...which come to think of it, may be why I am not the best housekeeper.

My master closet is where I keep my stash. Which means I had yarn hidden everywhere it could possibly fit. In an effort to organize the closet I pulled out aaaaalllll that yarn (mmmm yarn) and made a "stash chart", listing amount, weight, color and the fiber it is made of. MAN! I have a lot of really GREAT yarn! I also have A LOT of acrylic (acrylic, a-CRY-lic, acryl-ICK)

So there I sat in the middle of all that yarnie goodness. And I thought, "Well, deep cleaning often includes de-cluttering. I'll start the purge by using up all this yarn!" And I've been crocheting ever since. It's been hard to stay so focused, but I am sacrificing my time for the good of my family. We will all benefit from a cleaner, more organized home...really, I'm doing it all for them...

"The Deep Clean" has moved forward however! Shane spent last Saturday cleaning out the office closet. (Something I secretly never intended to do.)

So the effort continues. "The Deep Clean" moves forward and all my Cub Scouts have new beanies. Everyone's happy...
