My hubby thinks my sewing/computer room is a mess...not compared to this but then he's have it all in a dumpster if I kept my like yours. FYI He is very anal when it comes to clean but I love him dearly and wouldn't trade him. He's the love of my life.

Do you mind if I show my son and boyfriend these photos? Then my mess won't look so bad ;-)

Not at all. I am sure others have shared them too.

In all fairness, it has not always been like this. It was a full organized room until I decided to de-stash. I have more than I will ever use and decided to de-stash. I used to have a library room and kept every book I bought. Then I realized I would never read them all again, so even though I collected by authurs and such, I took them to senior centers, nursing homes, traded them in at otherbook stores anddonated them all over. Now I read what I want and pass them on... I have a small nook at the end of my hall, on teh first picture there is a rocking chair all the way at the end. There is one book shelf and that is my reading nook. Those are books I still need to read and after, off they go. If they dont' fit on that shelf, I send them off. So I know there is hope for me on my sewing room.
How do I get so much??? I get them from friends who parent has passed, friends who clean out their rooms, etc. And I teach at a Senior Circle for elderly ladies and they send me boxes. I went to my book review last week and she told me she had boxes left for me by other members and I came home with a trunk full. Can't say no..... I just think of who could use it. I send the children's fabrics to Project Linus and I keep the quilters fabric for moi......It's all a vicious cycle. I'm not complaining. They went through so much to send me a box, it would be rude to decline it. Just saying......
:roll:
Monday at guild, I have the lady who teaches at the LQS giving me 5 boxes of fabric because she won't use it since it is walmart fabrics. Bring it on. I will pick it up and put it in the hallway. Once I get organized, there are other members who do charity quilting, and for postage, I will forward a box to them. It's all good. Please don't send pm's yet.. I am already getting those. LOL. I will post under the proper Gieaway/donations.
Now you know more of how and why I am in this predicament. My intentions are so good.

Oh, I knew there was a reason I wouldn't show photos of my house. Welcome from Idaho!

My daughter is a professional organizer dealing in hoarders. I'll send her right over and she will have you organized in no time :)

I love organizing I wish I was close to you so I can help. My son lives in Euless, Texas. I live in Omaha, NE and will be in Texas weekend of March 5th.

As much as I would love to help you, I'm kind of intruding
on Charhand's (and Nancy's) offer to help you to see if she/they would help me. I'm so bad! :x And you don't have anything to apologize for. You didn't make me feel
like I needed to clean at all - I have been wanting to do
that for a long time, but really need someone to come
help me. Oh, and when I talked about the two spare
bedrooms I have, I was meaning that if anyone reading this
who is a good organizer wants to come and help, I have
lots of room and will feed them to boot! :D
I'm glad you got all this started!
