First, this is what started the yarn organization:
It's been a while since I've taken a picture with Paco rushing in - his modeling radar must have been set off - but if you can look beyond him, that thing with all of the drawers is why I went through my yarn.
'bout time you put me in dis blog, lady.
I saw this when I was shopping with Diane and wondered out loud if it would be good for yarn, having just one layer so I could see everything instead of digging through my bins. Diane the enabler put it in the cart and next thing I knew, I'd bought a cute yarn organizer. Hey, it went with my office colors, so I really did need it, right?
Once I got out all of my yarn, I decided to clear out the drawers in the cubby thingie and put more of my pretty yarn where I could see it.
This drawer holds mostly full skeins - I am dying to make something with that purple yarn on the left but I don't know what just yet.
I went through all of the yarn bins, pulling out yarn that I bought when I first started knitting and other yarn that I didn't end up liking enough to knit with and put it in a donation bag.
Then I set aside yarn that I like but I've had for years and really can't see myself knitting, because it's either lightweight or it's not my choice for knitting socks, for example. Here's a taste of what I'll be selling:
And there's a lot more...
Top of the cubby:
I have never had pictures in the starfish frames and I'm thinking, after at least 10 years of owning them, why start now?
Lower cubby:
The wreath and the two smaller pictures are new - I originally bought the wreath for one of the hallway bathrooms but it was too big for it, so I put it in my office.
Beach life displayed on a cheese board that my brother made for my 50th birthday. Yes I look for ways to display things everywhere in my house, LOL.
I walked into the office one morning to catch the shadow of the bottle which thrilled me to no end. It was so pretty in person - I even saw shadow bubbles!

Happy Friday the 13th! Anybody suspicious about that date? I'm not, but I always like odd dates like this. Have a great weekend!
I've said it before, but I just love your decorating! I need you to come to my house...
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll admit, it would be fun to go mix up someone else's decor for a change...
DeleteI'm definitely not suspicious but I will mention there is also a full moon and PEOPLE ARE CRAZY.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so beautiful in your home. I think you missed your calling in interior design!
Oh dang, I didn't realize there was a full moon as well, eek!
DeleteThank you, I love doing this and have changed things around since childhood...hmmm, why DIDN'T I think of studying interior design??
That is a great way to store yarn to avoid having to dig through your bins. I love organizing things. We could talk about that all day over coffee
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm sure we could...and it would be so fun!
DeleteI like the yarn organizer. Of course I LOVE the Paco pic. You probably like that 9/13/19 is an anagram.
ReplyDeleteYes I love this anagram week. Almost as good as when the is 11/12/13 or something like that. :)
DeletePoor Paco isn't feeling well today. I'll tell him he's appreciated in blogland; maybe that will help him.
Not only was it Friday the thirteenth but also a full moon! :-)
ReplyDeleteI could look at the colors of yarn (and fabric) forever...I spent an inordinate amount of fine staring at the colors in the pictures!
What a wonderful way to organize everything! That purple yarn would look great on so many projects. I am thinking mittens and wishing some cold weather my way. Ha.
