I have so many supplies…..like so…sooooo many.
You know the story….the internet shows you something cool and you’re like “I want to make that!” (alternative option: “I don’t need to buy that, I can totally make it for less!”). 3 weeks later the supplies are sitting in a bag on the floor next to your computer desk where you are sitting and researching a different hobby/project to start.
Soon enough you have bins…totes…random bags and drawers full of stuff. It’s all good stuff, it all has (had, if we’re being honest here) a purpose.
For absolutely no good reason I have deemed these, “boxes of sin.” Like I literally just made it up and may completely forget about it later on. Either way, behold!
This my bin of thread and lightweight yarns that at one point were project supplies, but now they’re a storage kidnapper.
02/24/22 I pulled this out 2 days ago now. Today I managed to start going through it to figure out what’s getting kept, made, or donated.
02/27/22 the bin is still on the floor….
03/02/22 second up, size 20 crochet thread!
I say second, because I failed at taking pictures or talking about the first. It was that small purple and green ball on the left hand side of the full box photo. I settled on a simple kerchief pattern; made 2, got bored. And that is how it ended up in the “donate” pile.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand…I asked the Executive if we should keep the size 20 thread or not….they didn’t check their email for 24 hours; apparently they were busy watching YouTube videos and reruns of Ghost Hunters.
Eventually they got back to me and replied with, “Yes.” This did not help. While I had waited to receive that truly inspired response, I had time to think about it myself. I decided that I was no longer going to make the project they were purchased for (circular resin ornaments with crochet or tatted snowflakes embedded) and I couldn’t find anything that I wanted to make now, so they should go in the “donate” pile……
Then the Goblin showed up…they used to be a much larger problem than they are now….we will talk more about them at another time. All in all, I convince the Goblin that not all is lost and if we need it for something we will buy it again later on, and that’s ok. They still objected, so then a compromise to keep the balled one was made.
So now, the Goblin is happy, the Executive is clueless, and I have 3 less things to put away!
One hour later:
There were these forgotten supplies. No idea what projects I had in mind if any…these could have been the Goblins fault…
I completely forgot that I got obsessed with making pokeballs a few years ago…the Goblin had to try all the thread/yarn to know which was the best, le sigh.
Box of sin #1: DEFEATED!
