    Default Just so I remember how it looked clean

    I just finished up (almost) cleaning up my room, sorting out my fabric, measuring and wrapping fabric on comic book backings. I took a picture to show myself what it Should look like. LOL I still have to sort and cut up my scraps so it won't look like this for long. I should be finished by the end of the week. hopefully .
    I got rid of a bunch of books that I hadn't looked at in years. I still need to sort through the rest of those. I have UFO's each in their own basket . I have mending in its own basket.I found a pair of jeans I had forgotten I bought that needed the hem taken down. . I am taking 2 boxes of things to Habitat or CHKD . Not sure which yet. Still have things I want to go through and re organize but I got the big part done I think.

    Nice space. Speaking from someone who works at CHKD if you bring the stuff to us it is apprecitated by many. I like your thread racks.

    CHKD it is then. :-) Its not far from the library and I usually stop in there on my way home.
    The thread racks were collected over a period of time . Not long after I moved here I found a bunch in a thrift store for 2$ each I think or somewhere around that price. I just attached them to the wall touching each other.
    OH for people thinking about doing the comic book boards ,,, That's 300 of them up there. :-)

    Check out the thread from a couple of days ago where the comic book boards were discussed.

    I bought the first bunch of Amazon for around $15 per 100 the rest I bought at a comic book store for $9 per 100. There is some on Amazon for around$13 if there are no comic stores near you .oh and the boards are white thin cardboard that comic book collectors use to back the comics before putting them in the plastic bags. Its keeps them from bending.
