95% of the storeroom made it out to my new home today, and sheesh you can tell I have/had multiple hobbies. My hoarder tendency that I work on keeping under control is a little obvious (to me at least). I have found watching the UK hoarder series has helped ...the one where the hoarder meets with a psych specialist & they get a couple expert-with- ( Read more... )

I'm going to order some jumbo size ziplock bags to put each piece of wool in for my winter fabric cupboard,as something has nibbled at a jumper - I hadn't worn it for about 10 years and I got it out of my winter clothing tub (not kept with yardage) to cut up & remodel.  Lots of tiny little holes. :(  One piece of yardage I got at The Fabric Cave ( Read more... )
