I'm in the same fix--everything packed for my move to MT and hoping I can find things when I unpack!!!Even so whenever I "clean" my sewing room I can never find anything again. Thought I had put "stuff" where it can be found and usually find what I need after I no longer need it. lol

I always lose things. I clean my room quite a bit so I misplace things. There are items I have that I have never found. I have this BOM and I can't find 2 of the months I did anywhere. Also, I love to cut and then stop and go on to another project. My problem is that sometimes I don't put the pattern with the cut pieces so I have no idea what to do with all the pieces. Yesterday I cut for 5 minutes and that was all the time I spent in my sewing room. Sometimes I get so sick of my sewing room. I don't work so usually I sew every day and I have lots of days where I feel like I'm being punished if I go in my room to sew. I love to sew, but every day...all day...is too much! I need to sew 2 or 3 days a week. I don't get a lot of housework done because I sew so much. I need to stop being compulsive about sewing and start living life.

I just cleaned up and reorganized my room. For the most part I know where things are. Each project is in its own basket in the closet with everything needed to finish. Well sort of. I wanted to practice FMQ this morning and couldn't find the little sandwiches I put together .. they were on the shelf Under a basket of patterns. lol I still haven't run across my pressing sheet. I was fanatic about putting it back in the case it came in , didn't one time and now its gone. I picked up another at a yard sale for times like this and . yep can't find that one either. <G> I need to redo my drawers by my machine and I am thinking about redoing things on my wall again. My brother is leaving for Italy the beginning of May and I will do it while he is gone. I Will get this room set up right, one of these redo times. And everything Will be organized and Clean annndddd ... Where is that glass of wine??

I just traded my big bedroom for my smaller sewing room. Thought I'd have more room but failed to take into account that I already had three treadle machines in my bedroom plus a fold up quilting frame and when I moved my other Singer in a cabinet and portable machines (5), plus serger & Go Cutter. Now I can't find my notions. While I was moving I just stuffed any & everything into a drawer. Now I'm paying for it. Boo hoo will I ever find everything. I did end up storing three portables behind the couch along with the serger. And I can walk all the way around my cutting table plus I have a 6' folding table up all the time.

I try to stay VERY organized. I put all of the fabric, batting, and backing, pattern, and whatever else I could possibly need for that project into a laundry basket. So when I get to it....the entire project is all together. Only problem is that I am out of laundry baskets and they are too expensive to keep buying more. Maybe I just won't have to do any laundry again???
So lately I have resigned myself to cardboard boxes....they are piling up and I have exploded outside of my small sewing room. If I just didn't have to go to work...I would have plenty of time to get things done----darn!
