.................to yarn, threads and crochet. Here I sit in my chair, surrounded by my addiction, this is actually quite tidy for me. The TV remote close at hand, my coffee cup hidden by the arm of my chair, the biscuit crumbs vacummed up by the dog.
My big table and my desk , again I had a quick tidy up, see the long cloth covering the table, hahah - thats hides everything underneath. Which reminds me of a little story when we first came here - we lived in a half built house in the middle of the rainforest, wooden floors with big cracks in between - perfect for sweeping all the rubbish through and since it was a high set all the dust and everyday muck went back to where it had come from in the first place, the only problem being if there was someone underneath at the time of sweeping. Nowadays in my little low set I just sweep everything out the back door and hide the big stuff under tables and beds. Under the table is 4 boxes full of yarn from my stash.
This is also quite tidy, bags of yarn still to be unpacked, boxes - I also have an addiction to boxes, I buy them and just throw stuff in, then stick the lid back on and I don't have to look at it. All my embroidery threads, beads and findings are in these boxes on the shoe rack and would you look at that, another bag of yarn bits and a box full of yarn and hidden behind it all is another bag of yarn and unfinished projects. 
Oh dear, this is what happens when you just don't think. All this yarn is what I bought after I had made a vow not to buy any more yarn till I got my stash down, this is all the stuff that won't fit in the boxes (yes Boxes). I have a 50 ltr box that is crammed full of yarn or I did have, I now have 4 20 ltr boxes full as well and will have to buy a few more to accomodate all the new stuff. Considering the 50 brooches I've made, the 6 flower garlands, at least 15 pr of mittens and hats in the past two months I've got it down a lot else i would have had to take 4 pictures to get it all in. Now my friend tells me there is a yarn sale on. Please, please someone come and tie me to something heavy, take away my car keys and wallets, hide my cards, put a restraining order on me forbidding me going anywhere within 10 klms of a yarn shop.
Helppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp.........J
Oh my what a delight to find someone who is as yarn addicted as myself. I have to hold myself back on the yarn row in the stores. I love to crochet and do basic knit. Love your blog I haven't visited for awhile but I am back!
