I have been on a mission for purge 3, this has been a challenging year and I want to get my sewjo back. Today I got bolts of fabric organized, I took inventory of all my batting. Last week I went through fabric kits and pulled out those that I know I will never get around to, I have a few more to go through. I have a little kitchenette in my studio area that also has a built in desk and hutch. I am going to move my binders with patterns in there and clear off the top of the dresser where they are currently housed. I need to find a better solution for storing my longarm thread.

Last weekend I organized my root cellar that is under my front porch. I got rid of 7 old doors and donated a bunch of other stuff I haven’t used so it is now much nicer. Now to rearrange my basement pantry and put everything in the kitchenette and then I should have room in the pantry (it’s really good size walk in closet in my laundry room) to put more fabric totes.

I am impressed with the depth of your stash and the motivation you are showing to get it under control and in a way that will be convenient and purposeful. Go, go, go and be our inspiration.

Got off to a slow start yesterday but did get the pantry moved to the kitchenette and the closet reorganized. Moved and organized camping gear, emergency supplies into the closet instead and put bulkier kitchen items that are not used on a daily basis in there too. That closet is also my tornado shelter since it has no windows and is under my garage, I keep floor cushions stored there too for something comfy to sit on other than the concrete floor during warnings.
I ordered more comic boards and clips so hopefully I can measure and wrap a little bit in the evenings after work. I found the perfect size storage bins for my longarm thread, so got the open threads neatly put away. I also ordered more hooks for my pegboard and went through my rulers and set aside all the older ones I bought when I first started quilting for the donation box. If I get my main floor cleaning done today I will spend some time wrapping fabric on the remaining comic boards I do have. I did spend Thursday evening after work purging my closet and have 2 bags to go to Goodwill and 2 more bags for my daughter, I am glad that we have similar styles so she makes use of what I not longer need or use. I opted for keeping only 5; 5 pairs of winter pants, 5 pairs of regular pants, 5 pairs of jeans, long sleeve shirts, short sleeve, work, non work, dresses dressy outfits, shoes etc. . Very happy with the outcome!

Tallchick you have been exceedingly busy. It sounds wonderful. I hope you keep a flashlight in your shelter closet. When I used mine this summer. I needed that extra light and used a battery operated candle that was sitting on a shelf. Not bad but not very intense, Tee-Hee-Hee.

Goodwill will be happy to see you coming.
