It sounds like I'm not the only one who is having a control problem in their sew room. Every time I attempt to get in under control I loose something. I don't know at the time, but in about a month or so I'll need something and I know that I put it some place that at the time seemed logical, oh well, you know the rest of that story. I usually find it after I've gone to plan B or maybe even plan C. By then I remember that I needed it but I can't remember what for.

Those bags that suck the air out are great, except it's a squeezed together and unless you open it you can't tell what's in it. They are great for saving space though.

All I can say is "Good Luck'" I feel your pain.

brenda what a hoot. those bags were under a pile of fabric i had stacked on a table. i unearthed the big lot bags due to my franctic search for the battery pack to my cordless phone. i ended up taking the phone receiver to the store with me to get a battery pack. can you say 'reorganization needed badly' for me.

i know i am in this situation because of all that is on my mind right now. i am working on it today though. phew!!!:D

yep this swap is exactly what i am gonna blame this mess i am experiencing on. i didn't shop like this before i joined this swap. who buys 10 packs of sewing machine needles or note pads at one time and for what????? yep this swap will make you a compulsive shopper. beware!!!!!!!:D


btw i unearthed the needles today also under that large mound of fabric. who knows what else is under there. 20 yards of fabric i purchased at the $0.50-$1/yd sale from the uniform makers. but it all fits in one of the suck bags. yippee!!!! back to organizing.

I sent PM to Lori, this looks like a fun bunch to belong to so I am going to give it a try!

When my kids were little we had a big bin that we called the birthday box. We were always putting cool stuff in it and then when they got invited to a party they would have so much fun digging through the Birthday Box... Maybe I need to start a Secret Pal box!
