Hi Mikki.

Sounds like you’re well on your way to getting everything well-organized.  Good job!

I have several tubs that my yarn is Separ into. I have two tubs of acrylic yarn one with warm colors like red orange and yellow and one with cool colors like blue greens grays. I have two tubs with bulk yarn separated again by warm colors and cool colors. The last two tubs I have separated into variegated yarn, and, other specialty type yarn like wool, cotton or natural fibers. I then have two tubs with beating materials. One is for plastic beads, and they are separated by color and size. The other is for regular type beads and they are separated some by using the little plastic trays with  With the plastic square, and they have novelty beads, would be, natural beads, pearl, beads, and findings. I then have a cabinet with shoeboxes, and I have several shoeboxes for different things like yarn, tools, painting, supplies, supplies, pipe, cleaners, pom-poms, will you get the picture. I have been working on this project all last year and still am fine-tuning my organization.

The greatest gift you can give your loved ones is time.

Seems to me that organizing craft supplies is a never ending but enjoyable way to spend time. 

 

I have lots of yarn, some of it one skein in a particular color. Many of those get worked up into Granny squares so that, if I need a gift, all I have to do is take a neutral color and put the squares together. 

 

Otherwise, I try to separate brands and colors into plastic bags and slip a braille label in with it. 

 

I have plastic file crates filled with yarn. 

 

Here’s the thing, though. I often can’t decide what to do with all that glorious yarn!

 

Blessings,

Good job, Jolene!  I’m working on organizing, too.  It makes such a difference. 

Whole containers of wolf and pawprint stuff—cool!

It’s Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you. 

 

I figured out a slightly confusing crochet pattern and crocheted 2 snowflakes.  A while ago, I knitted a hat and put some buttons on it so I could attach whatever decorations I fancied.  I used it for my Halloween cow costume, and now I’ve taken off the horns and ears and attached my 2 snowflakes.  I think it’s cute.  And, for Spring, I’ll crochet some flowers and leaves to put on it, and a crochet rose.  Très chic.  Well, I think so.

Tracy
