I broke my cardinal rule last night and did NOT tidy up before going to bed. So thlis morning have to do that before starting to sew. Maybe I'll find that illusive roll of painter's tape.

Thank you for starting this post. I am the unorganized perfectionist. I have good intentions to be organized. I start with opening a fabric tote and end of daydreaming about how I acquired the fabric and if it was being saved for a project or I just bought it and liked it for ...one day. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png I never use my time wisely...I pet the fabric and put it back.

Good luck, Dee. Downsizing is both a relief and disheartening...all those years of collecting craft supplies so you always have what you need. At least you are identifying what you will likely never use again. Cheering you on!

Have a container in my sewing room that was used as a platform to support stuff, lots of stuff. So dug it out last night and it's storing various color ways of brown, solids and prints. Some yardage. Some FQ. Some chunks. Most of it I look at it and think, "what was I thinking?" It's all been prewashed so today plan to sew most of it into backings. Maybe this will help to get some of my UFOs basted.

Ya know those scraps quilters manage to obtain? Well, it's true! They DO multiply when we aren't looking!
I'm running out of containers to store them! I thought, and I KNOW someone told me, if you keep them in an airtight container, they would not increase. Well, that person lied! These little suckers are creating lots of extra pieces and I mean lots. I'm try to clean this place up so I can practice FM quilting so I can quilt a UFO this weekend. Worst part? No special grape juice in the house. Thanks for the rant. |
I think most of organize and REorganize on a regular basis, me included. We have completed this process on a regular basis, right? So should we start a secondary career as Professional Organizers? Just thinking....lol. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png
