We kept repeating (verbally) what we put in each tote or spot for Debbie. We knew it would be confusing at first. There was the cross stitch and the crocheting and the memories boxes and PL and the scraps and the pre-cuts and the yardage and projects already started and "next" projects. I think she has it all in her memory now!

did you get your room organized yet with all of your goodies

np3

Almost finished! I have so many projects planned and I can't decide which one to start first. I need to finish the gold quilt first. But I have the most delightful additions to my stash and patterns.

Thanks for showing off your closet - I have one to create and am looking for ideas. Someone mentioned adjustable shelving - seeing it gives me ideas.
What brand & do you remember where you got the storage bins that have orange labels? Which type do you like best?

thanks.

The orange labels are sticky post-it-notes that I used to identify what is in the totes! I use several different kinds of bins. I get them on sale at Michaels and JoAnns. I use coupons to get the best price. I use the 3 inch thick ones for projects and the deeper ones for companion prints stash. One is "girls", one is "boys", etc.

They are indeed filled! And my book/magazine storage under the table has increased considerably.

So now that you have returned from your retreat what does it look like now.

np3

It took a long time because I put everything away where it really should go. Like thread in with the thread I already had, etc. So you really can't tell that there is anything new except for the empty shelf is now full. So DH really didn't notice much!

I'm really impressed with all the half price thread that I found. i love my Mettler thread.
