I’m in the process of cleaning my craft room again…and the guest room/soon-to-be nursery into which more craft supplies have somehow crept. (I swear they got up and walked there by themselves!) In the past week, I’ve realized that I could easily not walk into another craft store anytime in the next, oh, maybe 3 years or so (maybe even 5), and still be able to happily knit, cross-stitch, quilt, spin, bead, draw, paint, crochet, scrapbook…
And this is despite the fact that I’m even getting rid of some of the yarn I know for sure I will never, ever use. (Someone out there must really love acrylic baby yarn in lemon yellow and variegated green, even if I don’t.)
Of course, we all know this isn’t going to stop me from walking into another craft store, right? After all, although I have a fair amount of supplies, I don’t exactly have batting for quilts just laying around, or buttons for finished sweaters. I’m not going to go on an all-out craft-supply-buying ban. But I am planning on being a little more careful about what I buy, and try to knit/stitch/quilt from stash first. Hopefully, this will prevent my craft room from taking over the whole house.
