Rainy Afternoons and Closets

An organized Amy is a happy Amy, and today I was able to create happiness and a sense of accomplishment.

There is a hall closet right off the living room that has been laughing at me for months, since I got settled in here. Given the situation, I have been tip-toeing around careful not to upset the status quo too much at once. Too many changes all at once seem to make Mr. Man a touch cranky. Oh he is fine with change in theory, it's the application that seems to make him grumbly. So I have been putting things off and pretending that just because chaos and mess reign behind doors that are always closed, that I am not bothered. This is me trying to make nice and keep to calm waters while inside I am cringing.

Today I tackled said closet, with a vengeance. I showed no mercy. Though in the spirit of trying to live as simply and as cost effectively as I possibly can, I have a few bags of paper crafting supplies that have a new home; one where they will be appreciated and put to work.

The other big huge bonus is my knitting supplies have a home. They are no longer shoved willy-nilly in a duffle bag all jumbled together. The yarns have their own tub, as do needles and miscellaneous supplies. It is my hope that I will be able to find the right sized needles in a reasonable time frame and without dumping everything on the floor into a big jumbled pile.

There is one small dilemma that has come up as a result of my productivity. I have a scarf that was never finished because it became a big fat frustrating tangled mess. This would not be an issue except for the yarn is mohair, expensive and perfectly lovely. This pricey pink ball of angel-haired fluff is too delish to let go to waste. The ribbon is just as nice and just as tangled. I will need much patience and diligence but it can be done....I hope.
