in an interest to not buy anything this weekend, i am taking stock of what i already have. im winding yarn balls, emptying remnant boxes, and generally reevaluating whats what in the crafty spaces in my home. i decided that i needed a break after the 17th yarn ball gave me a charlie-horse in my hand. and i still have a dozen to go.
have you ever noticed that craft stuff seems to reproduce? i couldve sworn i needed black yarn until i dumped out my yarn basket and discovered 6 skeins of the stuff. and then theres the little pots i forgot i bought at that REALLY good sale that time. and the half box of christmas cards i bought at the garage sale. im always hunting a bargain, even if its a bargain on stuff i dont need. when JoAnns has a sale on chunky yarn, i buy enough to make every single person i know 3 hats and a matching scarf. crafting of any kind is expensive, and eventually you just buy the stuff thats on sale, know that eventually- itll get used. assuming you dont lose it in the back of a closet or in a box in the garage.
