Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Ahhhhh, the stash is looking good.
Too bad it took cleaning to make it look this good. Too bad I'm too much of a slob to keep it this way.
I cleaned and cleaned and got 3 bags of clothing. Some maternity, some office and some just plain needed to be tossed. I need to clean out some of my fabric stash too. Those pics are the part of the stash that is in that particular closet in my studio, I have a whole other stash upstairs in my "knitting hutch" in the living room. That is by far the most unruly stash, the stash is in, over, next to, around and near it. Some are active projects, others are those that I want to work on next.
I'm getting into this cleaning thing but it won't last. I'm anal but only until I get tired of the project. I'm also cataloging projects I want to do so I can see the yarn I need at a glance. Which led me to find this:
You see that red blob, that would be the boob loop I frogged. Once I'm allowed to buy yarn again I will need a couple more hanks of the boucle and one more of the wool ease. The sweater is from Vogue winter 03-04. Its cropped which doesn't work for me, but I know how to add a few inches and make it work. I may need more than a couple of the boucle. 
I didn't really find inspiration in my stash. I did find a merino boucle blend that isn't too fluffy that may work for something. I need to swatch and see. There are a couple of tank projects but I guess I'm not up for it. I'm being really good and I went back to Urban Aran yesterday. The sock is what I did the day before. I also got that flax cup done. I hope to take a bit of time off from work soon. I'm feeling artistically burnt. I still have a few good sewing projects I need to complete. Of course there are all those Critter Blankets. I contacted MANNA thanks to a post by the fabulous Anj, and hope to donate something to their auction. I'm now on the look out for other organizations that I may donate something to. I miss doing volunteer work, husbeast has heard me say this alot lately. I may just have to get out of the house and find some group that needs me.
