Adorable sheep pouches for notions!

If you like yarn, you're more than likely to like sheep... and here are some adorable ones! I just spotted these super-cute sheep notion bags from Frabjous Fibers at my LYS. They come in two different sizes, three colors, and are handmade. They're lined and have a zipper closure- perfect for storing all of your tiny little notions that tend to [...]

Organizing the new yarn room!

Organizing the new yarn room!

I'm happy to report that I'm making steady progress on organizing my yarn after the move! In contrast to our previous apartment, I now have my own room for crafting!

Stacey’s new circular needle case

Stacey’s new circular needle case

As you may already know, I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to organization. My books are arranged in order by color and height. My yarn is organized by color. Everything else is very organized.
