needles, scissors, glue, oh my!

I've been busy telling you for the past few years that I'm trying to use up all of my crafting supplies.  Here's a photo. 

Included in the photos above: knitting, cross-stitching, sewing, scrapbooking, collaging, jewelry making, painting.  Not included: all the started-but-never-finished projects, more of all the stuff in the pictures.  I don't like that I've accumulated quite so many things. 

This pile of stuff is why I'm
1. Not learning any new crafts
2. Finishing every project I've started
3. Not going to scrapbook every year of my life once I finish 2009
4. Not going to collage unless it's for a very specific something
5. Never making jewelry again
6. Only making baby blankets for extremely close friends and family
7. Giving random handmade items to my friends

*raising my two fingers in the scout's pledge*
I promise to use up/ or give away everything pictured (and not pictured) above.

{In the process of taking inventory, I found an earring I lost in early 2008.  It was stuck to an old bouquet of flowers.  I threw away the other earring late in 2009 when I had finally come to terms with never being able to locate its pair.  Maybe if I had taken inventory a little sooner...or not kept that old bouquet that caught the earring.}
