Sticking to my theme of being a little late to anything, here I am again...but as I'm also not working on what I'm supposed to be working on, so this is going to be a short one!
The question of the month for October was How do you organize your WIPs and stash? All my crafting supplies live in 5x4 Kallax shelf. That is all the yarn, the books, the fabric, flosses, WIPs, beads, and a couple unrelated things too. For stitching, I got one box full of fabrics, one that holds all my yarn (except for the master stash, which lives in floss boxes on the top shelf), one and a half boxes of kits (the second one is shared with a couple knitting kits), and one box of WIPs. For my WIPs, I try to keep everything together in a bag (one bag per WIP, that is) - for the longest time, I all kind of tote bags and plastic bags, but recently discovered proper projects bag, fabric ones with vinyl windows, and I might have gotten obessessed with them just a bit! I don't yet have enough for all my WIPs, but I hope at some point I'll either aquire enough bags or whittle down my WIPs enough to make it fit! Or maybe a little bit of both and meet in the middle.
October was a one-a-month-challenge for WIPocalypse, and I had dug out my oldest WIP for this, another table cloth kit. I have to admit defeat, as I did work on it for only a couple days before being distracted by something else. Still, this is the most stitches this has seen in probably the last ten years or so, so it's at least a partial win I think!

I love the table cloth! I learned to embroider with stamped kits. I haven’t done it in awhile, but I still like it.
It's interesting to read how others store their stash. I'm envious of those who have dedicated craft rooms and can have everything in one place. My stuff is spread our over three rooms! I have to say I do get a lot of exercise on finishing days going up and down the stairs to my sewing machine in one of the bedrooms :) Hope November is going well for you, Leonore! ♥
You're a brave stitcher to take out an old WIP and work on it! You give us hope to make progress on our stitchings a little forgotten.
