I obsessed, no it can be

Well I've decided I'm obsessed with crocheting. You know your in bad shape when you start one project from the center of the skein and the next thing you know you have another project going from the outer part of the skein. Then walla the two pieces of yarn are all twisted up. Happen to anyone else?

To add to my obsession we went to the flea market this morning and what did I come home with. Crochet books and leaflets, some 10 thread for doily's and yes MORE yarn. Some of it was the softies pink baby yarn, and since I have a great niece due, I had to have it. Now buying the yarn would not be so bad, but my MIL has decided to quit crocheting and guess what they left at our door yesterday. A huge black garbage bag of.........you guessed it, yarn. (I'm wondering if they have been behind the mysterious bags of yarn showing up at my door all along.)

I think I am what they fondly call a stash-aholic and crochet-aholic. It is almost like I live for my next find of yarn, I crave the feel and the touch of the yarn. I NEED THAT FIX. But its not like the stuff sits here and goes to waste. Nope!!! I crochet, and I crochet and then I crochet some more. I go into WM, JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, Michaels and the YARN asiles call to me. The clearnce aisle calls to me. Then I see all those yarns, all those endless possiblitites and the brain is off and thinking, and the hands are picking up and the next thing you know, I have a dozen skiens in my cart. Then I put them back, then I put them back in the cart, and then I put them back, then I think. Just a "little" reward, I did such a good job a folding those clothes, I lost two whole pounds. I guess it could be worse, I could have a clothing problem. Oh wait, I like clothes, too. OOOps!!! Then we have the "Thank god for computers". I have enough downloads of what would be called "store leaflets" to probably fill 3 huge note books, but because of the computer I can store it all in one teeny, tiny little space. (Of course finding the pattern again, maybe another story. LOL.)

Which brings up a whole new list of problems. Did I save the file under "fridgies", or "appliques", "baby afghans" or "afghans". Did I save that cute little block under "grannies", or "Squares" or "Blocks", or "Motifs". Did I save it to my hard drive or did I put it in my favorites lists. Which leads me to believe I need to develope a filing system for my stuff. Hmmm, or better yet, have hubby create a program that will track the stuff for me. Hmmmm, me thinks I should go put on some mascara and "bat my eyes'" and say please and maybe he will do it for me. hehe. I know, I'm "bad". I just can't help myself. Which is why I am in such a predicument. I CAN'T HELP MYSELF. With yarn, with yarn notions, with yarn hooks, with yarn books and leaflets. With idea's, pouring out of my poor little brain and fingers that don't work fast enough to create all the darling, just gotta make, "What?", (You want how much for that Item???,) I can make IT, I must make IT. As of now I conteplating a move just so I can have another room. A three BR house or trailer would be much nicer than a two. I'd make one a guest room, and then make the guest sleep on the floor, because I would have yarn, and afghans and all sorts of goodies (yarn wise) taking up that space. lol. So what do you think?? Am I addicted?? Maybe, Maybe not yet. But I'm well on my way. And such a fun way to go.
