I have tried that, but then I lose the list, but I'm trying to do better. I just saved a 3-drawer plastic storage unit/container from my DH because he was done with it. The look he gave me when I told him he wasn't going to throw it out was priceless. However, I did get him to help me re-arrange my sewing area a bit and it fit perfectly under my big table, and I have 2 drawers already filled, one with fabric for making bags and the other with projects that I have started, or want to make, and I've put the magazine/pattern together with fabrics and anything else necessary in one of the very large zip lock bags. Now when I want to work on some of my Christmas projects or UFO's, I will know where they are. At least I'm hoping I can continue to keep somewhat organized, especially since I have very little space, one wall in my bedroom, although my fabric totes decorate a wall in the dining room. LOL. It wasn't easy sorting fabrics, deciding which to keep and which to give away when we down sized to a 2-bedroom apt. with separate bedrooms. At first my daughter was shocked, however, since DH and I would be together 24/7 and had already been together for nearly 5 years, plus the fact that the king size bed would not fit in either bedroom, we opted for separate bedrooms. I sew and do crafts in mine and he does whatever on his computer in his bedroom. It works for us, and I might add that we've been married for 45 years, so separate bedrooms at this stage of our lives isn't so bad, and when I need to "get away" for my quiet time, I have a place to go; but I really miss my sewing room.
