 Oh my crafty goodness! I love all these little wool felted balls. They are polka dots in 3-D! I so want to make a Christmas garland with reds and greens. Am I crazy? Or maybe Dani can get them??!! |

Achoo is a good reason. Here's another...they are felted! Can't use the yarn that way to knit Fab socks!  Crafty girl |

Oh my Michelle, I can't think of a really good reason except they would really collect dust in West Texas.  Cat |

You will have to store them after Christmas. I am in a no clutter mood.

LOL Guys! You aren't helping... I still really want those things. Lots of them in all the colors! I'm not allergic to wool, not much dust around here and Big Dog doesn't mess with stuff that's not hers. (Although she does love balls!) And Jenn, I have 1,500 square feet of basement that is completely empty right now. Plenty of storage room! Did I mention that they look like polka dots?  |

Every cluttered basement started with just one box!

And no worries, Jenn. This house is so big, I have an entire cupboard just for my crockpot, another for my bread machine. I have empty closets. And I'm keeping it that way! We never know when (or where) we will move to next, and the next house may be smaller.
When all the boxes finally go back into the basement when the contractors are done, I think I will finally breathe a sigh of relief. All this clutter here is making me crazy. A third of our basement is in a storage area, another third in the garage and the final third in the formal living room. And to think, I wasn't quite sure what to do with the formal living room. Who knew it's purpose would be to house basement stuff. Crafty Girl says I have it decorated in early American garage sale!

So, now we're playing, talk you into the cute, felted-wool balls...eh?  Go for it! They are ultra-cute as far as decorations go, not so good for knitting. But since, you don't knit, then not a problem for you! Hope you get your basement fixed and the basement stuff out of your formal living room soon! Early American garage sale is not overly soothing for a living room setting! |

But guys, I really didn't think you would actually try to talk me out of them! I'm pretty sure they need to come and live at my house. I should be shopping for furniture, but it's not as fun as a few dollars of craft supplies. Much less of a commitment!

Cindy, lucky you! I haven't been in a craft store in about 2 weeks. I'm suffering withdrawals! And shopping online for a couch is hard. But I have to babysit the contractors, so here I am. They are painting today--almost done inside!
And Nikki--I did. They are just so enticing!
