So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I'm glad you got to spend a lot of her last days with her.
I lost my Mom the morning of December 23rd. The 'visitation' was suggested to be the 26th but I realized it was my birthday and moved it to the 27th. I didn't want to associate her death with my birthday. I will always cherish the time I had with Mom and with being able to give her my love and support through those 80 days of her illness. I will keep you in my prayers.
As for staying organized, I finally got same-sized containers for storage that I could stack on one another plus a couple of matching bookcases for fabric and books. I also bought some decorative boxes to put the WIP's that I will actually work on first and displayed those on top of the bookcases. Having everything a uniform size has helped me feel not quite so overwhelmed by having too much stuff for too small a space; but I'm still not as organized as I'd like to be.
