I woke up far too early on Saturday morning, and began the Great Clean-up of 2010 in my sewing room. I started by going through my books and magazines, and whittled 2-1/2 shelves down to less than one shelf (see it there, on the bottom?).
I turned my bookshelf perpendicular to my sewing table, which will allow me to stack some project boxes in front and still be able to access the shelves. Before the move, I had the shelf where those boxes are in this photo, and the boxes were stacked in front, but then I had to move them out of the way in order to get anything on the shelves.
I moved all my FQ bundles from nooks and crannies in the room and now they are all on the shelves too, protected from the sunlight.
I also found a cute, smaller basket for my patterns ($2.99!), and it fits perfectly on the bottom shelf with my books and magazines, freeing up extra room on my sewing table.
I haven't attempted the 2 large closets yet, but I'm sure to find some treasures waiting inside. I've already unearthed few goodies that I forgot I had. Stay tuned for a stash sale sometime in the near future!
Looking good!!! I love the basket idea. I have my patterns all over the place and really need to consolidate. Now I know how! thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, everything looks so organized!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great...those fatquarter bundles are gorgeous...is it hard for you to use them...they look so great sitting on shelves!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasure to look at those fatquarter bundles every day. As for the books and magazines we end up with so many but only use a few. It must feel good to clean out. As all our bedrooms are occupied, my sewing nook is one corner of our lounge room. To help keep things tidier, DH and one of my DSs is making me a cube bookcase for my birthday later this month. It's hard to wait, I keep checking on the progress in the shed lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm saving my pennies and can hardly wait for the big sale! Great start, your sewing room looks very neat and inviting. That pattern basket is adorable and what a deal and the red lamp on your table.....love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek into your sewing room! Mine is looking very de-nuded since the big clean up to sell the house. I am looking forward to being able to spread my stuff all over again in the new sewing room.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Oh and I love that little basket with the cutest heart ever. I'll bet that heart is the cutest one on the entire plant. You can trust I'll be checkin' that out on my next visit. :)
