I Have not caved.....yet

But boy these last couple of days have been full of temptation. First during my local thrift store jaunts I ran into wool, and some really cool retro fabrics for the very cheap. I picked them up, I put them down, I picked them up again, then I finally put them all back down. In my head flashed all the thrifted stash I already have waiting for that perfect project. I thought I was going to be stressing out the rest of the day about missing a good deal, but actually I think I felt better that I did not cave. It was funny though because my eldest son was totally shocked - oh he thinks he knows me so well.

Then while doing some blog reading I ran into this beautiful sock. I wanted the pattern and found that one of my lys was a stockist. So I went. I entered. Went straight to the sock patterns. They did not have it in. I left totally empty handed. Yeah me - I don't think I have ever done that before.

As far as stash busting goes I'm working on the airy cardigan (IW winter 2004) it's going pretty fast so far, though not much yarn has been used. But it's aged yarn bought just for this purpose so I'm happy.

The organizing of the stash is going a little slower than I want. I'm taking over half of my daughter room for a craft room (she does have a big room) I'm still in the painting stage. Since I am taking over half of her room we are giving her a room a redo. The ceiling is bright sky blue. The walls are bright yellow, waiting for the big green polka dots, and I just started painting the trim today. Oh the color choices of a 12yr old - gotta love them.
