I've been bad...

When I started my new obsession--I mean hobby--I promised myself that I would not go crazy with yarn like I did/do with paper--I love me some yummy paper!  Well, guess what?
I have failed...this is just the yarn that I haven't used and I am only on the 3rd month of my addiction.

I had to change my way of storage as well.  Luckily, my husband got this basket from his work before going into surgery...little did his work know that I would love this basket to keep all my yarn in.
Prior to this storage, I was using two Michael's reusable bags as seen in a prior post.  And from this picture, you can tell my yarn is still overflowing.

Of course I have bought more than pictured above...here is what I have used.  Now I just need to use the rest of the stuff.
Coming soon to my Etsy Shop

I have got to say that my absolute favorite yarn to use is the Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn.  (oops...when I went to get the link, I accidently looked at some new projects and seen a lot of pretty yarn that I totally want to get now--I gotta stay away--ahhh).

But I also love the feel of baby yarn and the soft colors they come in as well.  And so the reason that my addiction is fed--ha ha ha.

and sometimes I "scraplift"...

I have been meaning to make a card all week for my goddaughter's 17th birthday (which is tomorrow!).  Finally, I whipped this one out today.  I was inspired from this card I found at TwoPeas

Pattern Paper: Cosmo Cricket~Hey Sugar: Honey Honey, Embossing Folder: Sizzix~Swiss Dots, Font: Angelina, Other~Ribbon, white cardstock, pre-made card

Now I need to get it over to her...that may take some more time--ha ha ha.
