Organization at Last
Monday, 12 October 2009
Remember that day I went in search for shelves for my fabric stash and came home with a ton of yarn? Well, the score somehow made my storage problem worse, not better, and I have been scouring the thrifts ever since. Believe me, the irony of that is not lost on me.
Last Thursday I finally found some new shelves for $30, and brought them home. They look great with all the fabric neatly stacked. I spent a good part of the day re-organizing the stash and happily discovered that my fabric stash is actually shrinking. So having it out in the open where I can get to it is so much better than having to dig through boxes to find what I need.
The bottom four shelves are my stash, and the top shelf is for WIP’s. That’s the new yarn in those laundry baskets on top. The other baskets contain various knitting and quilting projects. I can’t wait to make this with some of that yarn. I found that link through ravelry. That place is insane. In a good way.
Edit: I guess when I said “new shelves” that meant that they were indeed, new. However, they are only new to me and found at the Goodwill. The fact that I got it used makes me happier than buying something from a big box store for new.

It is good to find the perfect thing. And it is good for a thrifter to buy something brand new and *just perfect* every now and again, so you do not mistake being creative enough to be able to live off other’s cast aways as a sentence that you are only entitled to other people’s junk. This is lovely, and ah, to be so creative. It is soooo beautiful. Fabric stashes, hardware stores of unfinished wood, bead stores, art supply stores- they make my brain wiring shortfire, I am at a loss in the face so so much POTENTIAL. I seriously can not cope, and am less creative because of it! I admire that you have a way to manage the beauty to create something from it.
