Interestingly I think I prefer the blue but the red would probably look better/more stunning in real life.

I’m glad you’re coming more to terms with the idea of stash. Perhaps there’s a perfect midpoint where you and I will meet in future?

Like when we recorded GS the other night, I took WAY more than I could sew in 2 hours. Just. In. Case!

We are already planning this year’s jaunt…

When I go away, I take one, maybe two things to work on – two if I think it’s likely that I’ll finish the first. perhaps because I don’t multi-craft, and I’ve never really become a multi-project person anyway. But completion is important to me :D

Slowly getting there :D

LOLA for the win.

We lived in our last house for 11 years. For much of that time I expected we’d be there long term. Now we’ve moved, and somehow this place feels more ours than the last place did. Partly because we co-owned with my in-laws; but it’s not like they actually acted like landlords. I think it’s because we painted here as soon as we moved. We put our stamp on it immediately, and that was like a fresh start in a 90 year old house. It’s thrilling.

Then I will be making one for another friend whose birthday was last Thursday… they’ll have contrasting colours and hopefully they’ll get good use out of them come winter!

Also, I was so glad that today my search in the podcast App I use for “champagne and socks” finally showed up with your podcast. It had been taunting me for days.

I am going to get back to “Currently Creating” posts on Wednesdays (or this week, Thursdays. Or Friday, depending on tonight’s consumption of culture) as my part of the virtual craft circle.

Yay, Alisa, I love this idea.

Maybe that’s just length of time to the craft?

I’m totally curating for you but have to wait a bit and see what the dollar does.

Obviously. I love that you got so much enjoyment out of it and that it was so useful to helping your thinking about stash etc – and I definitely agree with your thoughts around tea, and stashing. I think “reducing tea stash” is definitely better/more usefully translated to “enjoying all of my tea”.

I don’t have quite as much of a problem with buying books as I do with yarn, and the reason is exactly the thing about projects: I can easily imagine wanting to read that book AT SOME TIME. Yarn, though… will I actually find a project for that? What will I use it for? How do I use it? and then, as recently, hey here’s a project buuuut I don’t have the yarn right here, right now.

I am incredibly excited about receiving the yarn you’re curating (which is TOTALLY the right word here and makes this project seem EVEN MORE AWESOME), yes receiving all of it at once would make my head explode but yanno, feel free to do whatever you think will be the best ending for this particular episode :D

I’m hoping to make a nice indent into the tea stash this year.

Being worth more, I like that. Though I liked the instant when I was drinking it … as a drink that you drink without paying attention.

Pod machine can be good!
