My wife describes her needle arts addiction as her “pointy object fetish.”
Raisin Bran has lots of fiber.................
Just take a baby blanket and turn into a cozy quilt
by applying squares of fabric---print and plain.
Outline squares w/ ready-made yardage of fluffy chenille.
I seem to have been (1) lazy (2) working on other (non sewing-related) stuff (3) kind of in hibernation mode (4) depressed about the election, the fact that the results were left to stand, and we are all being called domestic terrorists now.
That said, I got a $20 Target gift card for Christmas (otherwise would never go to Target), and bought these hanging, 3-shelf cubbie organizer things like this: https://www.target.com/p/3-shelf-hanging-closet-organizer-gray-room-essentials-8482/-/A-50387876#lnk=sametab
I will use these to (when I feel like working on it any more LOL) sort and better organize my fabrics “stash”. I don’t really have a huge amount, but it is not organized now, is sort of broken up into 3 different places, and I just feel I can and should do better with the storage issue. These are hanging in the designated closet (for a could weeks now), waiting for my next move. I even cut some gift boxes up to provide thin cardboard stabilizer in the bottom of each shelf.
So I HAVE made some progress, right?
What are your favorite Craft/Fiber Arts Magazines and/or Books?
I'm also one for any and all Home Decor magazines and I can't live without 'Mary Jane's Farm' and 'The Pioneer Woman' magazines each month.
Books I love and will always have at hand:
'Knit The Sky' by Lea Redmond (I use her ideas and apply them to Crochet)
'One Skein Wonders' by Judith Durant (More knit than crochet projects, but again, it's a jumping off point for creativity)
'The Crocheter's Skill-Building Workshop' by Dora Ohrenstein (Great way to learn ALL THE STITCHES and also how to shape things and increase and decrease rows, etc.)
Also, can't live without 'Simple Times; Crafting for Poor People' by Amy Sedaris (Amy is a fave of me and my Sister. It's a hilarious send-up of all the things we 'crafty' types are into.)
LOL! That looks like some of the yarn rescues I’ve had to work with!
