Wondering if it's time to do a bit of a destash. A small bookshelf is full of tubs of knitting/crochet needles all going dusty.
I am still interested in crafting but there isn't a space set up to be sewing with the machine, I don't want to drop a pin or stray thread for kitty to eat, and I seriously burned out on knitting/crochet after the LDs. (I even have to push myself on doing art.) Might keep a spare ball or two for unfinished projects just in case but wondering if most of the the random balls of acrylic could go. Maybe even the granny squares too.
Then the needles and books could fit in a plastic tub and room could be made in the cupboard to store them away. Then the art stuff could go on the cleared bookshelves.
No idea where this energy is going to come from though. It will have to happen one task at a time as possible. I'm also having to fight the pack rat in me
