folded fabric now in drawers! Table getting cleaner!! LOL

I don't have any earth shattering news to report.
This past week: I rearranged some stuff on beige shelves, finished putting up a shelf above those...well I started and hubby finished.
Then I moved all the crafting stuff that I don't use very often up there.
I transferred office type supplies to the big desk/dresser, from the light blue 3 drawer organizer.
Transferred most of my scraps to the lt. blue organizer and got them organized in it.
got some things put in notebooks.
ok, not earth shattering, but more than I thought!:mrgreen:

good job quiltcrazy, I had organized some of mine and then went looking for fabrics and its a mess again...:(

i applaude you! it sounds like you did a lot!!!

I'm with you,Dix. My sewing room is always organized and neat and I don't say that to brag. I just have severe Fibromyalgia, and in a lot of pain. Can't deal with a mess,it takes over. So I keep it done as I go so it won't get out of hand.I clean as I go,and everything has a place.

I have FMS also...This winter and the below freezing temps are really getting to me.
great you are able to keep up,sometimes i can't get out of bed..i am sure you know the feeling..Kim

Ah hah. And here's another stamper with a load of supplies. Used to be addicted to making cards, but haven't made many lately. I couldn't figure out how to organize all my stamps so I knew what I had. Finally saw where someone used a mail sorter. I got my DH to build me two large cases with removable shelves. Then I took pictures of all my stamps and organized them in a notebook. Each shelf is numbered and my notebook shows what is on each shelf. That works out great. 've been organizing my whole craft area for about two months and am about ready to post some pics.

I also scrapbook and have alot of paper and supplies but I'm into the quilting right now. You are way to organized for me. I'd like to be that way but it's just not gonna happen. However I do envy you and congratulations on the great job you're doing on your room.

Good for you, Riversong. I am a perpetual cleaner, but have just amassed sooo much stuff.
I will keep it all, get it all organized and trying very hard not to add to it. :-D

I'm still working on organizing. I think I've made some really good changes so far. Added shelving, moved cutting table around, added 3 drawer plastic files with fabric all folded and put in drawers. It's a work in progress but by spring, I should have it the way I want it.
