I stumbled upon this on the internet... It was on an English blog, Pelotes etc..., written by a French lady (I think) Sylvie.
What do you think about this idea?
I just love it (I hope she doen't mind my borrowing her pics). I think I'll try it, I've got a few yards of fabric I intended to cut in strips to crochet a rug, I might have enough of it to make myself a Wip basket... My woven paper basket doesn't suit me anymore... for one thing, it's already full, and I now find it ugly.

Thanks for the inspiration Sylvie.

I'm having a very quiet Sunday, which is a good thing, as I can have a little
rest before I go back to work (my holiday time is over). We had a little bit
of snow this morning, but it melted as soon as it touched the ground, however
my daughter was very happy to see the flakes swirling in front of her, fun time.

The weather is still cold, colder than what we're used to here in the French
Midi, it reminded me that I should finish the few warm-wintery-things I started
so that they could be useful, instead of gathering dust in my drawers.

I have a few works in progress down there, WIPs as my fellow crochetville pals
say.

I thought it would be nice if I had a WIP bar too, but then, which one to chose,
that is the question... There are many, each one is different, each one is interesting
in its own way.

I asked to join the yarn addicts community. I don't know if I'm entitled to do so.. I am a yarn addict but am I proud... I don't know. I do like to open my drawers, boxes, cupbards and look at all this yarn, thread, fibers and other stuffs I have recklessly bought. I do continue to buy balls, bobbins and cones of all types of fibers, although I know I will ha ve a very hard time finding a place to put them once I'm home. I do appreciate window shopping yarn stores, even if I have more yarn than I will never be able to use. I do collect new adresses of internet shops that I like to drool upon. I do look forward to browsing the yarn category of e-bay, in search of new so called "bargains". I do love reading about new materials, like bamboo, corn or soya... but... I do feel a little bit ashame of it. It's so out of control sometimes... We're even thinking of buying me another cupboard to stock my yarn stash. Isn't that a shame. Hopefully my husbad is thoughtfull and shows a lot of understanding... maybe because I never say a word about his addiction to movies and his insane compulsion to buy DVDs...

Here's a glimpse at my yarn stash... Beware, the following material is not rated PG-13!
