UGH!! Have to empty the stash closet!!
My sewing room stash closet is in an eave, last year I put the Christmas decorations in the way back corner, i had bins of stash there but my back no longer likes to bend and pull those heavy bins. So that is where I put the decorations, and then bins of stash, machines, and all the stuff that I hid back there. We are putting up the tree tomorrow with my dd and 3 dgs tomorrow, and I have to begin emptying the "stuff" in front. What was a great idea last year has become a nightmare!! I am starting right now, no qb tonight, or sewing. Everyone, have a memorable Thanksgiving!!!!

Well, all my stash and stuff has been removed from the stash closet. WOW, there are things that I didn't even remember buying. Maybe I should be on the Hoarder"s show on TV. Found birthday presents that I never gave (recycled now as Christmas presents), a box of flannel from Connecting Threads that I ordered for my charity quilts (2012 project), a tub of civil war bit and pieces from my Farmer's Wife quilts. It was like Christmas last night. Oh well, I have to figure out a place to store this stuff now, guess I will have to have more eave space floored. On my Christmas list for my DH. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I had to pack up my basement sewing room because of water damage. They had to knock down the ceiling so they needed everything out. Talk about a mess! Now that everything's done it's nice, clean and organized, but it certainly wasn't a fun process. I feel your pain!

What about putting all your "stash, machines, and all the stuff that I hid back there" on some kind of carts? Then when you put Christmas back away, just roll the stash carts back into the front of the closet.

lol I wish I had that problem - hey anyone that wants to de-stash let me know I'd be more than happy to give your fabric a new home! This sounds like the space under my stairwell I don't even want to think about getting to the Christmas stuff under there.
