That got me thinking, what does it take to make me happy now? Lucky for you all I have the answer. Besides the usual. My hubby, cat and family. I think I have narrowed it down to 3 or 4 things.
1) The angry birds hat I made my brother, and my brother because he is as fun to be with as he was when we were kids.
2) Making handmade socks for family members. This is the latest pair for my Mom.
3) Yarn my Mom saw and had to buy me from her friend who raises alpacas.
4) Last but certainly not least.....embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint and knitting supplies from my Grandmother-in-Law. Man I do not even know where to begin. At first I was on cloud nine then on day three of organizing I thought I was in hell and now I am back to cloud nine. I now officially have all the DMC Floss colors except 28 of the colors. Yes, I do plan to get the last 28 might as well it will be under $10. This picture does not even represent my own supplies.
I do have a question for all of you how do you organize your floss? By color or number? I have 6 boxes of my own and now I have added 6 more boxes from Granny. I organized by color and she organized by number. I am confused! The floss in the baggies are perle cotton, rayon, rayon mix, hand painted, metallic, ribbon and wool.
The box in the back is full of needlepoint hand painted canvas and some half finished work and some I have no idea what to do with. I will be researching needlepoint.
I did not take any pictures of the knitting supplies because they are not to organized yet. She also gave me her Bernina sewing machine. I see I will need to start reading up on lots of things and do not even know where to start. Needlework? Knitting? Sewing? Going Crazy? I am thinking the latter. What do you all think?
