tidy, mess, tidy

Its true. Sometime things have to get worse, before they get better. I'd been on the hunt for cotton yarn. I know I have specific colors, and thus I went looking for it. I found TONS of cotton...just not the colors I was looking for. :s The first picture is the yarn out of its spot in all its tangled glory. It should be noted that THIS is just the used parts. The shelf under where this came from has the full balls.

The second picture has most of the yarn in color groups. I don't have much yellow.

I want to find a nice, pretty, neat way to store the cotton I found.

Because the baby I was looking after is a) no longer a baby baby, and b) looked after by his dad now days, I decided I didn't need the baby toys in the lounge room.

I determined that the baby stuff would fit in the laundry hamper.

But to do that the hamper needed to be emptied and the stuff in THERE dealt with. It was mostly left over odd socks, a few clean doona covers and the pile of yarn I got out of the shed...for..some reason.

This is the lounge room floor currently. I used the old stand by of using a RAKE to gather it in one spot to sort through.

This is what the spare room looks like. :| Look...more yarn!

As a point of interest...how does the STUFF get on the floor after you have vacuumed? you know, those little bits you KNOW you just vacuumed? I can vacuum in here (and its not shaggy carpet) and but the time I have done the rest of the house, there are bits on the floor again!
