It is a lot of work, seems I have become quite a packrat! So far I have been working on the room for 3 days, hope to have it done by the end of the weekend so I can start on another room.
I started by looking for a ruler that I had misplaced, and still can't locate hmmmmmmm. That told me I needed to clean the room entirely and put things in marked bins so I knew where they were. |
wow, take some photos for us please

Tonight is moving the books across the room (room is 13x14) Then maybe I can put a table up to put a wireless computer in the room so I can do patterns, the board etc. |

I have yet to venture into the closet in that room - not sure I want to but know I have to. |
I'm doing almost the same thing right now, only I'm painting first! I haven't seen my sewing machine in three weeks!

I am in the process of setting up my sewing room where my office "used" to be. Got tired of stuff scattered in different rooms, tucked out of sight, which means out of sight, out of mind for me! I really didn't like using a corner of the diningroom, which is small anyway and using the table for sewing on. I started on Tuesday... cleaning, sorting, searching, and I'm really getting "there!" It's coming together. And I didn't have as much stuff as I thought.
Good luck with your cleaning. You'll love it when you're done. |
When I finally cleaned up my room, I couldn't find anything!!! Everything was put in new places, but I just couldn't find stuff!!! After a few days, I finally got used to where things were! Did you find that ruler yet??
|
I just cleaned up mine and now I am frozen by the level of organization. I walk in - look around and walk out. Don't wanna mess it up.
|
My sewing room doesn't have a closet. I am thinking that is a very good thing. I would lose all sorts of things.
|
I figured out how to store my batting - space bags! I have a box that I got from a discount store a while back and it is just sitting doing nothing - now one or two bags will hold the non warm n natural type. Back when I bought the bags, I was thinking ok change out summer and winter clothes, so I got 2 boxes of 5 bags each different sizes.
In the process of moving books, and magazines now. They are residing in totes on the floor. |

My sewing room is a total mess. Creative clutter is better then idle neatness!

It's funny. I spent time today just organizing my thread! I picked up spools in three different rooms, then pulled out the thread drawers and put everything in order. I wonder how long that will last....NOT.

You have been busy. Want to do my room next. :-D :-D

My hubby is making a nice large room for me, but I still don't think I will ever be organized. Not in the genes.
