Making headway in organization....
 

Well ... somewhat!!! Last weekend I emptied out my very over loaded room and am slowly putting things back. I re-arranged the layout of the sewing desk, cutting table and ironing area. The room is very small and I do different crafts, so it's difficult to get everything in there! I'm sure you can relate!! I also use one computer for scanning and that takes up one corner of the room. I love my sewing desk...found it at a second hand store in town. It weighs a ton and has lots of storage area. Really love the end storage! I feel that I can now continue on projects! (I haven't shown you my dining room table!!! That's were all the "stuff" that hasn't made it back into the room is right now!) One of my projects is to make a new ironing board cover! Mine has seen better days. I wish the best to all who are getting the "bug" to organize! It's an on going project. Once you think you have it ... bamb! You have more stash and don't know where to put it! Enjoy your space ... I know that I'm very happy when I'm in mine!

Great room. Looks like there's lots of fun stuff in there.

Looking good!!! Want to come help me in NC??? :D

Great pics. Very organized! I guess you knit or crochet as much as you quilt?? I was looking at your desk and machine. Seems high. Is that working for you? I have always had trouble getting something that puts the machine at just the right height, which is important to me, since my neck injury two years ago.

Looks great, enjoy!!!

Nice room. Wish I culd get my stuff organiced.

Great room, love your sewing desk!

Looks great! I'm starting mine this morning as soon as I get off computer. I also have a small room wish me luck.

You have really made that space great for you!

girl you know you have to make some quilts and use up your fabric so you can buy more.:D

great set up.

Your space looks great! Love the way your yarn and thread are displayed.

Great room. I love your sewing desk. You are doing a great job organizing.

Wow, you have a great stash of both fabrics and yarn. Like your sewing desk.
Have fun in your organized room.

Can I come and play in your yarn and fabric? Just took up weaving and would love to have your stash!....

Dont you just love those wire shelf units, I just got 2 of them for a spare bedroom that I am cleaning out, organizing and painting then its going to end up being a sort of walk in closet for all the "stuff" . Those shelves are sturdy and great for bins....I have 3 more units on a rain check .....My husband told our neighbor if I didnt do something soon with that room I could a spot on the hoarder show .

Great use of a small space!

I worked in my closet this afternoon. Can't organize the room unless the closet is organized and purged (a little). Have begun a box and a bag for Goodwill. I had fabric and patterns together in boxes for specific future projects. The stack was getting higher and higher in the closet. I decided to fold the fabric and put it in with the stash. Put all of the patterns together in one place. If the project "makes the cut" then fine. If I use the fabric for something else, still fine. Now the room looks like a hurricane went through there. Why is it we've got to make such a mess when cleaning or organizing. Well, I do anyway! Thanks for the inspiration.

Nice room and great sewing table!!

Looks like a lot to me!

Your desk is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good job!

I absolutely love your desk. What a find.

wow, that's a lot of crocheting thread and yarn!!!!! You are doing a great job!!

Great job and a big job. I need to get in the mood to Spring Clean!!!

I LOVE your desk. It's a very nice room.

debra

looks fabulous!

I love your sewing room, especially the desk. Enjoy!

Looking good, will be nice to create in an organized room.

2 weeks ago i got this burst of energy and started to reorganize my sewing room , i took all my material off the shelves and rewashed them ,and have been ironing it and putting them on the comic book boards i am on my 4th pack of 100 boards !! and almost done , that was ironing everyday! so i know what you have gone thru ! but i must admit it looks so much cleaner , and i dont want to mess it up by dragging something out to work on !!

Your room looks great! You are like me, a knitter, a quilter, a general crafter and pinterest fan....LOL Hard to keep all the treasures organized!

Looks GREAT! So organized and well laid out. I really like your sewing desk. Only one more thing, what time do you want me to come over? I''d love to go shopping in your room. LOL

You have organized everything really well. It looks like it will be easy to find anything you need.

Looks great but you are SCARING me. I have been quilting for a few years and have fabric, just learning crochet (all I have are the 6 skeins for an afghan) now I see your stash of yarn!! yikes I may need more shelves!

Weasie,
this space is wonderful. I can just envision you creating and smiling the whole time!

That is what I have to do to organize when things get to be a big mess. Take everything out of the room, sort it, put like things together and then slowly put it all back together. Makes for a huge job but it is amazing what I find in there!

I smiled as I looked at one picture after another of SEWING STUFF and CRAFT STUFF! WOW!! You have a place for everything (except what's on the dining room table) LOL That's the makings of a ton of quilts. And I'm sure you make one after another, like we all seem to. Great sewing/craft room! And GREAT STASH!

P.S. I am in love with your sewing desk! I found an older sewing machine in a maple cabinet that looks very similar. It's a treasure. Enjoy!

I love that desk also-wish I could find one around here.nice and sturdy and lots of storage

I also love that desk, never have seen one quite like it before. Love your organization and room. thanks for sharing
