I'm in the middle of trying to get all my sewing stuff organized and in boxes for my new room that's in the making. I don't think it's all going to fit. :( I don't know how I'm going to get this to work. I keep finding more and more fabric. I think I've got a problem.

I'll be happy to "store" anything that you can't get into your room.
I live in FL you can visit it anytime you want

Did you ever see the vidieo Elenor burns made bout the fabric problem? It stars her son it is funny ,fabric falls out of some funny places.I for one do have too much fabric, yet discovered a new local shop yesterday and bought more! I am a collector, lol,Today my son walked by and said "Mom I really think you just fondle that fabric and move it from place to place, you need help" lol how right he is, he has been waiting on me to finish him a quilt since he got out of the Marines a year ago lol. Too many projects, but boy was I ready to jump in the car when he wanted to go to the fabric shop to get penguin fabric for his quilt ,that was in sept,lol, maybe if I quilt fondlling I can get it done for christmas. HA HA!

lol...ya, I think that's me. I've got fabric every where. I never had a designated spot for it so it took over my house. I'd like to have my house back, that's why I'm turning my attatched garage into my sewing room(lol who needs a garage anyways???) I like my house when it's not cluttered and is clean. I seem to never have that anymore. I had a house fire about 6 years ago and had to start from scratch(luckily my machine were ok, but no fabric made it). I have mannaged to FILL this house up. I now have three sewing machines, 2 sergers, all the stuff to do embroidery, and fabric everywhere. I just found a box that was nothing but buttons and bias tape...I'm never going to use it all. I need to start a pile and start getting rid of the stuff I know I'll never use.

lol...not only do I sew, but scrapbook, do jewelry and any other little thing that I can learn as time goes on. And I just can't buy what I need, I over buy for all of it. I just can't wait for my room to be done. I want it all in one room and organized. That will make me REALLY happy. :lol: :lol: I have two of the tall book shelves that are stuffed with scrapbooking stuff(not including the stickers and all the punches and stuff that are all in the plastic drawers. It's crazy. I'm addicted to crafting!!!!

I think I might be doing that. I have two small boxes already that I know I don't want. Maybe I can get some pictures up tonight. I think my mom has some boxes too...I'll have to run to her house and take some of hers.
