Since I've been crocheting a lot more, my yarn stash has grown exponentially.  Unfortunately, so has the mess that the yarn has made.  I corralled it all for a while in a tub, but it just wasn't working...

...unfortunately, I forgot to take a before picture, but just picture plastic sacks and yarn in a pile...

...and then Engineering Man used his table saw, and some random plastic tubing we had around to make stackable holders for my yarn...

Candy wrapper bracelets?!?

What happened to eating/making your own?
