Mother’s Day Gift Hints

Mother’s Day is this weekend! If your mother or grandmother or mother-in-law is like me, they would enjoy gifts related to their hobby.

I am always running out of room to store my projects and thought these items fromKnitting Warehouse are great! There are so many choices and are not overly expensive.

How about getting a good set of circular needles? She would then have most of the desirable sizes available at her fingertips. The Knit Picks et is a good choice.

A very good idea that keeps on giving is a magazine subscription to her favorite publication. There are many to choose from, but my favorites are Interweave Knits, Vogue Knitting and iNknitters

if none of these suggestions work for you, then you might consider a gift card at her favorite yarn store. Mom, or Grandma can use the card for a class or even to add to her yarn[/tag] stash!

Update 05/11/07 I just spoke with an individual at INknitters magazine. It seems that due to hurricanes in Texas, where they are located, they will no longer publish the magazine. However, back issues of the magazine will be available in approximately one month. Check INknitters website for updates.Â I am sad to see the magazine cease publication.

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
