\"ScannedImage\"<\/a>I have recently had a little taste of spring at home, with warm temperature and blooming flowers, and for some reason this had made me feel like cleaning. In some instances I might wonder if I am feeling well, as this is a \u201cnever high on my priority listing\u201d kind of thing, but this time I needed it as therapy.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF1132\"<\/a>

Totes are making the difference in my closet! I didn’t think to take a before photo, so please just take my word for it.<\/p><\/div>\n

I really was not planning on writing about this, but considering the shocked awes of approval that my work has created at home, I figured it might be worth a share.<\/p>\n

My main place of tackle was actually my work area and closet, (with the closet, being the larger accomplishment). My work space is actually a corner of my living room, and most of my working \u201cstash of yarn\u201d lives in my hall closet. I long found that if I give myself too much room, I accumulate much that is not needed (this is why I actually carry a small purse, a large one means that I carry many more things and most of them are probably belong to the kids). Working in this smaller area requires me to sort and clean things out a little more often to make room for new ideas.<\/p>\n

So in the closet, the largest change is the actual addition of bins. I found some reasonably priced storage containers at my local big box store, and have found that they have nearly doubled my storage space. Prior to these, I stacked yarn on my shelves so they were readily easy to see. I have always sorted them by manufacturer, and then my weight, but by placing yarn in totes I am able to stack them better while still sorting the same.<\/p>\n

By taking this time a cleaning things up, I was also able to get some new ideas, it can be amazing how just touching a yarn that an idea can jump into your mind about what it wants to be. In a sense it is almost like visiting an old friend, bringing back memories and jump starting the creative soul to connect. Now if only I can find the time to bring it all to life!<\/p>\n
