I've started! I decided to work with the things on the floor first, so I finally opened shopping bags and emptied tote bags. I came across the things I'd bought at antique shops while on vacation in the Paducah area. One was a grungy bag of (what I thought were) scraps of vintage fabrics. Imagine my surprise--and delight--when I discovered that the "scraps" were actually these blocks along with LOTS of cut-out butterflies! What FUN!
The floor is basically cleared off now. I also put loose spools of thread away in my thread box and put balls of pearle cotton in the drawer where they belong. Progress, and it feels great!
This looks like my sewing room! How can it be? My DH says nothing is like my sewing room. I can hardly wait until he sees the pictures of its twin! We sure could use the space for storage the bed takes up. How about a loft? Bed up, storage down? We received a catalog that sells Martha Stewart craft/sewing room furniture. Organized yes, still not enough storage. Martha doesn't have a stash evidently. I bought a bunch of plastic tubs all the same size and a few smaller one for smaller projects. They stack nicely, you can see what is in them, and everything stays clean and organized. Mine are stacked 3 & 4 high.
ReplyDeleteThe plastic tub idea is a good one. The large plastic totes I have are not clear. I only have 4 of them so I pretty much know what is in them. I have lots of projects in labeled boxes (shoe boxes, etc.) and those are stacked pretty high in the closet. I get overwhelmed when I see so many projects waiting to be finished, so perhaps, for me, it's better that I can't see what is inside the boxes! :)
