A Room for All of My Things

When we first moved together to this house in Arizona after Jim's retirement, Jim and I shared a room we called the office. For the most part it worked but when working in there he likes his Pandora playlists playing loud and I like to listen to podcasts and I had to use earbuds or headphones. Without complaining to each other about the invasion of space when we wanted to concentrate on things, we both knew that it would be nicer to each have our own dedicated space.

With the goal of separate offices in mind, we decided to change our guest rooms setup, we have one room with a king-sized bed in it and that room stayed the same. We had a room with 2 queen sized beds in it as well. That room is now mine. We took one of the beds out of it and moved it to Jim's office. We took my tables and all my crafting supplies and moved those things into the former 2 queen bed guest room. Some closet storage was also changed. Holiday decorations and luggage are now stored in Jim's office. My supplies are now in my office and the king guest room. Yes I need room in 2 closets, don't judge me please.

This move also gave me a chance to do some sorting and organizing. I rounded up all the yarn in various bag and boxes. They are now sorted by weight and in clear bins so I can see what I have and be reminded of what projects I have planned to do next. I have 4 goals for knitting or crocheting right now. They are to finish all planned patterns for the Shawl in a Ball yarn, finish planned patterns for the Summer Nights yarn I have, make for markets bags with the crochet thread I have on hand and to finish making the tasseled scarves collection I started with all the ladder yarn I have. I also have a quilting goal. The quilt I want to finish is a panel quilt. The hand quilting of each block is done. I need to get all the blocks joined and a binding put on. 

Of course, all this organizing feels good. I know myself enough to know that I will get an idea in my head and mess it all up looking for something, probably very soon if I stay true to form. 

I just realized on reading through this looking for silly errors (and I am sure that I still missed something because I always do) that I forgot to mention the socks I intend to make with the sock yarn I bought with my niece in Longmont. So, add that to the list of to do's and I will be one busy, never bored girl. 

Back with more again soon. 
Take care and stay cozy!
