Beautiful creative space. I think there is something in the air...I have been moved to organise my space...quite a cleansing and uplifting experience. Bit scary too....didn't realise I had quite so much "stuff".

Mine is always a work in progress. After our spring flood I just wanted every thing washed and put back. Now I have been slowly VERY SLOWLY been going back and labeling what is in each bin and sorting and labeling my stips and scraps by size. Doing a little each time I am in the sewing room has been the best way to tackel this for me. This way I am not overwhelmed and missing the fun of sewing.
I love my space, even messy I love it,neat is easier but I have not decided which makes me more creative. Messy makes me wantto do more sewing to make it neat .

Happy organizing,keep it fun,stress need not apply ,

Doesn't it give you a good feeling to see the progress?
The weather is beautiful in Missouri today, so I have been
working in the garage with all the re-cyclibles (paper, cardboard
cans, plastics & etc.) Shop vacs are wonderful for cleaning the floor. I feel better after seeing the cleaner garage!

I cleaned out last month. Took a bit of time but well worth the effort. I didn't put anything back in the shelves that I was not completely sure I would eventually use. Gave some away, sold some here and on eBay. Bought some more!!!! Keep going, you can do it!

Congrats on having your room nearly finished. I have been refolding fabric and sorting out the why do I have this so I know what a challenge this can be. Looking forward to your pictures.

Your room looks great. Now each time you are finished for the day take 5 minutes to straighten it up. You will be surprised how much pleasure it will be to come back.
