I guess my biggest accomplishment would be using up fabric. I made 8 scrappy quilts and have given them to nieces and nephews and donated some fabric to an organization that makes dresses for little girls in Africa. Donated "odd" fabric to Goodwill. Has my stash gone down, yes I think so but will continue to work on it.

We moved and I was able to find things I forgot I even had. I put the UFOs on one shelf and then the new jelly rows and fabric on another that I'm just dying to use. Rule is to finish one UFO before starting anything new. Thought I had it all figured out and went looking for a scarf and found a few more UFOs. I'm continually finding things to get rid of and in the spring, I will do much more.

My goal for this year had been to finally do some quilting for us & I accomplished it. I've had such fun making things for display, useful items & I've finished all of them except the quilting on my "summer quilt". I needed one without batting for nights too warm for cold weather quilts. :-) I've worked extra hard on getting my FMQ up to where I feel it should be also & although that will be an ongoing goal, I think I've come a long way this year. :-) Haven't really had any failures. I live in a camper so space is premium & I have to put stuff away as soon as I'm done or we can't eat! I have put my Christmas fabrics out in my quilting shed, so perhaps that would be to do with organizing. Just trying to make more room for more fabric purchases to come. Trying to use what I have, but I have been blessed by many & it seems to grow more than recede. ;-)

I don't have a dedicated sewing room. But my fabric is stored in a Billy bookcase in the guest bedroom. And I've gradually added more and more sewing items, including quilt tops yet to be quilted, my ironing board, scrap fabric to be organized, etc. Yesterday I tidied it all up....as much as I could, in preparation for Christmas.

How I'd love to have a room that I could just use for sewing and close the door on, but I am unwilling to give up that room, which my grandsons really consider "their" room, anyway.

I recently bought a huge rolling shelving unit at Bimart. It was regularly quite expensive, but I only paid $129. I got rid of two folding banquet style tables and reorganized my projects which had been piled on those tables. All those planned projects are now in either clear shoebox style totes or in piles with a selvage tie around them. I even put them in order of how I want to attack them. That change let me move my computer style C shape sewing machine table out into the room. I put my big board ironing station which is screwed onto an old ironing board off to the side, so my office chair just rolls on over for a quick press. I have one banquet style folding table behind me with a cutting station. I still have a large cutting station in the middle of my room, but don't have to travel so far to square bigger pieces and so on. The best part of this change is that I have open counter space and don't have to rummage through a pile to find my sewing supplies. I absolutely love the change. Sorry I can't post a photo. I don't know how!

I have only had the app for a few days and I am only recording purchases from this point on. It would take far too long to take pics of all my stash, but it doesn't seem like it will be too much trouble to enter future fabrics right after I purchase them.
What I like is I can put in the description box the name of the pattern I purchased the fabric for. Later, I can search by that pattern name and pics of the fabric I purchased show up as a group on the screen!

I followed Alex Anderson's monthly organizing tips. I "worked" on so many areas--magazines, books, scraps to various square and strips sizes, buttons, ribbons, batting (which had to be the worse mess I had), rulers, templates, fabrics. I purged and gave away so much. It felt fantastic to work each month on a different area. I didn't get completely organized but I certainly have a New Year goal to start on several "additional organizational projects."

Biggest success? Being prepared with everything I needed for the birthday "candies" (2.5 inch squares) swap on this board. Everything cut for 30 people, cards ordered, stamps bought, stored together in a dresser drawer. I never missed a birthday nor was late. Now if I could only say the same for my own family members. Ahem!

Biggest organizational failure? Not putting things away as soon as I'm done with them. I need to print a motto and put it above my cutting table: PUT IT AWAY, NOT ASIDE!

Sweeping change has been my greatest triumph this year. I decided to completely redecorate and would later discover that nothing was sacred. My wardrobe was next and the difference is a blessing. Now that the purge has begun the air feels lighter and I'm able to relinquish quite a lot. Tidying is a joy because the alterations improve my environment and make room for the new.

I like SarahBethie's take on words...I have been doing a lot of (necessary) purging as well, not only my wardrobe closet but also the attic above our 2 car garage. It is being converted to a sewing room where I will eventually have room for a longarm.
