When I redid my sewing room I purged my books/magazines/patterns until it fit in one small book case and on one wire shelf. Well, fast forward a couple of years and there's a stack of books & magazines beside my bed, a couple of stacks on a NEW shelving unit a pile stacked on top of the fabric totes and who knows how many scattered here and there. I think it's time to go through them again and get them back in their allotted space.
