Recent Projects, and a Really Old One

I was going to sew/work on Eons' t-shirt quilt today. But... My sewing room was SUCH a mess!!! Ugh, it made me crazy. And every time I would go in there to work on it it bothered me so bad. I literally had to step over things to get anywhere. So, I cleaned and organized it today. 
 It's still not completely done but I can walk in there now!! I can actually sew and not be distracted/stressed out from the mess. 
I cleaned out one drawer of yarn that I hadn't used in over ten years, and put more yarn in it. I still want to clean more drawers out so I can put all the bags of yarn on top of the bins, inside.
And, I completely moved one whole book shelf into my bedroom. And kept the one in there with all my crochet/knit/quilting books and patterns in here.
Do you like my redneck quilt hanger? 😂  I was actually thinking of doing something with the hanger, maybe crochet over it, bend the wires. And paint the clothespins. This is a crafting room after all.
I found this doily I crocheted about 25 years ago, while I was cleaning my room out. I need to wash it and re-block it. My old boss had bought one and I copied hers.
And this is a recent project, a Graduation Bear. I crocheted a couple of these before. When I went to find the pattern (because I never printed it out), it was gone. 😩  I sent a message to the website, and they emailed me the pattern! They are re-doing their website, and this is one of the patterns they still hadn't uploaded yet.

A Dishcloth and Cards...

I just felt like knitting a dishcloth one day. I wanted something I didn't have to think about, or count.. So I knitted a new dishcloth for me. It's the Idiot's Dishcloth.
                                              And I used it the same day I finished knitting it.
Eon is supposed to be graduating this year. One of the things he has to finish in order to graduate is "volunteer work".  Long story short, he is making cards for hospitalized kids. So I have been making my own cards along with him. (To keep him going...)  This is actually a card I made a long time ago, but I found it when I was looking for something. And since he is graduating, I thought this would be relevant. Plus I don't know if I ever posted it.
This is actually the last card I finished. I just made it up. The stamp is one I got in a big bag at Goodwill. I just made the little purse up. 
Two other cards I just made up. I have been trying to get organized (what a mess). I got out all my cardstock/paper, which was in a big bag (the bag was ripped). I went through the whole bag. I found some stamped pieces I had already done a long time ago. The card on the right is one of the stamped pieces I found.  I also organized my cart my husband bought me, I put all my papers and cardstock and punches and other stuff on it. I still have a long way to go. (My whole sewing room-sigh...-- But I did get the bag of paper out of there. LoL)
