However, I just had a flashback and when we go away in our van for more than a day, I use a see-through (plastic with fabric backing) shoe bag with lots of places to hold all those most used things, toothbrushes, batteries, etc. Wow! What a great idea to use in my quilting room. Gonna get one and look for only a few seconds to see stuff!.
I also started vacuuming every day or so around the machine since my Standard Poodle thinks that anything accidentally dropped on the floor etc. is his fiber for the day. Gotta get another ice cream container for this stuff. Pauline
Congrats to you Pauline for your 1st week. We all start somewhere and I remember many times when I didn't even get through one day let alone one week. Like you with the plastic bag, I see things all the time that I think would work in my sewing room. Next on my list is the over-the-door shoe bag to use for quilting "things." I saw it on here and thought it looked like a great idea.
