A glitch in the matrix.

When my life is pretty chaotic I tend to focus on the one little glitch that is bothering me.  This doesn't usually help the situation because then amidst the chaos I am also embarking a project to improve the chaos, thus creating more chaos.  Did I use the word chaos enough times there?

My crafting life is like that right now.  I have a lot of projects that I have either in the works or on a shelf awaiting their turn.  My sewing room is slowly becoming more organized, although at the moment I am working on my sewing room curtains, so that project is a little bit of here, there, and everywhere.  That I can deal with.  I know that project will be finished and will add to the look of the room in the end.  However, the drawers and shelves in sewing room my house are driving me nuts.  

So, what little bit do I decide to focus on?  

Well, that would be this

 shoe box of embroidery floss

 that my sister-in-law gave me. 

 If I had thought ahead I would have taken a before picture, but this box was overflowing and really nagging me.  I tried ignoring it for several weeks.  I mean, it was in the drawer out of sight, but those colors are really bright and who can turn their backs on a box full of color things?  But the chaos was too much to deal with, so I shut out all the other mess and focused on something that I could deal with, this box. 

I took all the embroidery floss

 that still had its labels and

 separated it out by color, 

but that wasn't enough.  

 I found this fun way of storing

 embroidery floss on Pinterest, 

I had clothes pins already,

 and the rest is history in the works.

I still have a few nights of winding floss on clothes pins left ahead and from there I plan on organizing them by color themes.  It will look lovely when it's finished.  But until the glitch in the matrix is fixed my crafting is halted.  How can I focus on curtains when my embroidery floss is a disaster?  I mean, could you?
