You room looks terrific and organised - I too have started to clear and organise my room for the New Year. I have found that the plastic boxes don't work for me - I forget what's in there or can't find what I'm looking for - so they are being 'retired'. Instead I have decided to put in a Closemaid system and I have a quilter friend who will 'lend' me her husband to put it up when I'm ready. Determined no sewing being done until its finished - so that's my incentive.

That was part of my problem. Now I am only using the plastic boxes for scraps and WIPs. I also have future projects lined up in the bigger boxes and NO LID on them so I can see what I have to do.

Gotta jump in here and join the organizing brigade! My son has finally finished remodeling the "Wreckroom" in the front of the basement, the new carpet is in (the day before Thanksgiving!) and my DH is building some storage in an out-if-the-way area. Now that a lot of the furniture and stuff from that part of the basement is out of the back part, where my sewing studio is and I've almost finished putting Christmas stuff away, I can finally reorganize my studio!
I have a few things to move around back there and then I can put up my design wall - excitement here! I also am going to put up a pegboard wall on which to hang my rulers and stencils. I did a rough reorganization of my stash not too long ago, but I know it needs refining.
I also know this whole process is on-going - forever. Oh well, that's good for our brains!

Your room looks great. It's nice to see all the eye candy. I can't believe how much fabric I already have accumulated no longer than I have started sewing/quilting. One of my sisters had given me some, and my dear mother gave me a lot of material that she has collected over the years. I am still in the process of working on my sewing room. I am using one wall at the moment, but eventually the room will all be used for my sewing room.

I have never in my life seen anything like that in person. You'd laugh if you'd see my stash. I have scraps, 3 baskets full and nothing substantial to make anything but scrappies. Good thing I like them. I went shopping yesterday to see what was out there (I haven't shopped for fabric for probably two years). I came home with nothing but sticker shock!! Social security is not what it's cracked up to be. It pays the bills, but no frills. So, my friend, enjoy what you have!!!!! You are very lucky.
