Right now, this very moment, this is what my sewing room/space looks like

I'm with you...My lower level room now has at least 5 -10 different hobbies supplies all over, over 10 years of buying and dreaming.... Plus: overflow of stash in other parts of the house... Much ruining 'a once nice upstairs laundry room' with a mending desk & pull-out drawer ironing board... closet for household use is fabrics and wrapping paper in heaps. . . Just heard Haiti volunteers want beads, fabrics, and craft items to take down to the women and children ... maybe if I try hard I can sort by what I definitely want to still make, & what I'll never need nor desire to make afterall. Give 50% away... Have renewed creative space - even to tithe 10 % of it helps them and me. Try to get sorted in a hurry ...volunteers go down every month from different churches...I Just heard the request at a meeting this week . . . And I won't go to this weeks shop Hop ! Not even to the local store. . .

My room(s) are no picnic right now, but I have several projects going at once, which I don't like to do. Later this afternoon I am going to do some organizing. I get very upset with myself if I let it get too out of hand; then I can't do good work.
until I took out the storage shelving unit with all the stuff stacked on/in/on top of and all the fabric to reorganize
- and put in a new storage cabinet with LOCKING doors - woohoo!
Oh.. AND I share this room with our 3 year old (the reason for locking doors) as her play-room
(while I sew) on one side.
Kinda hard to see much of a 3 year old in here now. (except for the similarity in quantity of mess made, perhaps!)
:lol:

I am really worried. Will any of you get to use this all or will it eventually go to the dumpster becasue no one wants it. USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That way you do not have to store it. Some of you have more fabric and notions than stores in my area have. Sorry mine is a mess and no one sees it but my goal is to use what I have before I step into a store. Hope I can do that. Someone said the best thing I have heard do not buy another storage item use what you have and then you do not need more storage units.
