I'm Getting Organized

I've always known that "Whether you're a newspaper journalist, a lawyer, a doctor. You have to organize your thoughts." (Frederick Wiseman) I'm pretty good at organizing in a lot of areas but then in others not so much. One of those not so much areas is my knitting and crochet projects. I often find soooo many patterns that I want to make and get started on them before I've finished 5 others. Sad, I know right.
As fate would have it, while browsing thru the beautiful pieces in my Etsy team member's shop, I came across an awesome gift I could make for myself to begin organizing my crochet projects. It's a Crochet Hook Organizer Case. This creative clutch purse-size case allows me to travel easy, organized and in the color of my life!
Vicki was so sweet in sharing the pattern with me; digging through "3 rooms full of stuff" looking for it, as it was an old pattern her son found. She scanned the copy and sent it to me and I started it immediately. Close to finishing it, I found a little box with some old purple costume jewelry pieces. The flower button was once a ring! As soon as I saw it I knew it was gonna be the perfect accent for it.
So now I have a Purple-tastic case organizer that holds up to 28 different sized hooks, needles, scissors, stitch markers, tape measurer, pens and so much more!! I am too proud!! :-D
You won't see me too often without it now but I will admit, you will probably see me with a new project, yes, still with 5 others unfinished. Don't judge me, I'm a work in progress!
