It is only stuff though. There is nothing rotting or anything like that. We help out a charity so lots of it is bags of knitted things for the charity. And me and my sister have a loooot of hobbies so there is always a lot of stuff about that never gets put away.
The family home has devolved on us and when people leave they NEVER take all their stuff. Especially the ones who die! So we have rooms upstairs full of stuff we never touch. We should probably get rid of some of that too.
I'm hoping that blogging this will help motivate me to tidy up finally. When we get straight we are re-doing the living room altogether. Laminate flooring, new settees, tables for lap-tops etc.
We also have more wool than the average wool shop. And we keep buying more. Yesterday I got some Sirdar Supersoft Aran to try making a scarf from the loop pattern in "crocheting on the edge".
I decided that one row of loops was not wide enough so I started to attach another layer. I'm not sure yet what I think of it.
The wool is lovely though. I dont use much yarn that is 100% plastic. This is 100% Acrylic, 258 yards per 100g ball and it is very soft to the touch.
Anyone who knows me will be shocked that my cats have so far not been mentioned. They are gorgeous and I love them to bits. They are Main Coon cats so they have longer fur than normal cats but not long like a persian. Here is a pic of them when they were babies.

Thats a lot of stash....he he! I have bags everywhere.....I have stuff/stash in corner of every room! I just bought two large plastic see thru tubs and filled them with yarn...and the very next day I bought more yarn! I don't belong to lots of charities but I do crochet hat; mitten and scarf sets for the woman who come and go at the sober shelter. I was thinking about asking if I could teach a basic crochet class to the woman/girls it may help lift there self-esteem and give them something to do that while they are trying to remain sober. Not sure how to approach ....any suggestions.
