Ok I haven't really discussed it previously, but I found this really neat online thing that some of you might be interested in. It is called CraftMemo, and I am too lazy to go find the link, but there is one in my side navigation bar. It was created by a crafter who wondered why there wasn't any product out there for hobby crafters to keep track of their supplies and projects. The product also would work for professional crafters, as it not only keeps track of when things were bought for records, you can export the data into excel sheets so you do not have to reenter the information later.

You can use it to keep track of your inventory of craft supplies (be they yarn or miniatures or anything else you do). What is it? Where did you buy it? When did you buy it? How much was it? What color is it? Plus it has a searchable "notes" section for any information you want but doesn't have its own section. Then you can create projects, incorporatng inventory items you have already added. it then comes up with a total cost for the project based on how much of each inventory item is used. Photos of the objects can be added too.

There are some slightly disturbing aspects about this website though. It gives a running total of what your inventory is worth. Only a small fraction of my stash is in there, and already I am coming to realize maybe I shouldn't know. (Or at least maybe Roger would rather not know.)
