I’ve been thinking about posting for the last few days but was stumped by the thought of posting New Years Resolutions on my blog again this year. I looked through last years resolutions and realized that I still don’t know how to read charts for lace or cables and that I didn’t do any charity knitting last year. I did give out prizes (stitch markers) to other bloggers charity drives and feel that I at least helped contribute to charity knitting.
Looking at the part of my stash that I can see (the rest is in the closet in bins) from my desk, and realizing that it has outgrown its metal cubes in the corner of the room is almost making me consider joining the “Knits from your stash”-along. Most of my stash is single skeins and leftover acrylic yarn and I don’t really have more than one adult size sweaters worth of a single yarn. In other words, I don’t really think that I should be admitted to Yarnaholic meetings just yet. I do however have entirely too much sock yarn and I don’t even knit socks!
I think that if I were going to make resolutions, they would be more about my daily life and home instead of yarn stash and knitting. I really need to get organized in the house and get rid of my clutter/ excess things. Currently there are papers, toys, and clothing (mine) coming out of everywhere in the house and I’m about to lose my mind over it all. I really think that I’m at the point where I simply need to get one of those shows (neat, Clean House, etc) with the personal organizers to come to the house and fix my clutter problem. I’d even consider letting those people from “What Not to Wear” come in and attack my closet because of how out of control it is. I seriously need help here, people!
There were a lot of huge changes this past year with my son starting school, my husbands new job(s), my online shop opening, and my (short lived) employment outside of the house – but I’m relatively happy with the way things are going right now. I ended up leaving the job because I wasn’t getting paid at ALL and I wasn’t doing what I was hired to do- it was a serious case of something not being at all what it was advertised as. I am rather unhappy about it simply because I was really looking forward to getting a new car within this month and getting my list of ‘needs’ (dental, medical, contact lenses, etc) taken care of in one shot. I’m hoping that 2007 is going to be better than 2006, in all respects.
