Grown Up Friend Date with Patti.
Clean computer room.
Get materials for Jess' ring pillows.
Donate things to good will.
Fix sewing machine tension.
Make ring pillows.
Another secret project for Jess' wedding and also for Erin's wedding
So so far, I'm doing quite well. I haven't heard from Patti or Jess yet about hanging out or if she still wants ring pillows, respectively, so those may just be on hold. The computer room is slowly being cleaned, bit by bit each day. The bags of good will are by the door. Basically the sewing machine is the only thing that hasn't been attempted.
The clean closet feels great. It's easy to manage, and I feel better about it. I was able to throw out a lot. (note to self: there's no need to keep the packaging and documents affiliated with a phone you haven't had in over 4 years)
The yarn stash was a bit daunting at first, but once I decided on a process, it went quickly. I'm glad I emptied it all out in a big pile to sort, but dear lord did my heart skip a beat seeing that huge pile at first. It's amazing how much yarn you can accrue over the years!

| Before... eeek! |
I decided to have all the lace weight and sock yarn in the small tupperware, and then devote one big tupperware to all the yarn I have that I have a lot of (i.e., I could make a sweater out of) and then the other one to all the random one skeins I have that can be for smaller projects. The basket is still what I had it for originally, which is the ends of skeins that I can use if I want a small amount of yarn for trim or whatever. 2012 is going to be a year of knitting through my stash, so I'm hoping that if I take a photo of these containers in a year, they won't be as stuffed. I've already knit a hat out of some leftover yarn, so I think I'm on the right track.

I full acknowledge that this is perhaps the most boring post I've ever written.
