Stressed by the Mess II

In a previous post, I mentioned the need to organize my sewing space.  Yesterday, I just decided to jump in and get busy!  I pulled everything off the closet shelves and just threw it all into a great big pile in the middle of the floor.  Talk about stuff!

My sewing buddy, Norma, a Bearded Collie, wasn’t sure what to make of all that stuff on the floor so she decided to mind her own business off to the side…wise girl!

I found a “few” dust bunnies.  Hmmm, I really think they are Norma fur mixed with miscellaneous threads from days gone by.

After an hour or two, this is what my closet looks like.  Much better, but I need to organize my scraps!  I’ll save that for another post!

Norma has now reclaimed her spot under my cutting table!  She is no longer stressed by the mess in the middle of the floor.

Stressed By The Mess!

My sewing room is a mess and I must admit I am stressed!

I have piles of unrelated fabrics that have to be sorted!  Right now the burlap is crammed on a shelf with the minky, the fleece and the flannel.  Dearest hubby doesn’t call me “the stuffer” for no reason!

I have bins full of unrelated colors and who knows what else lies beneath this mound?!

Threads are thrown together in a haphazard fashion!

I have too many pinks and the drawer is overflowing!  I tried to cram them back in the drawer but they won’t fit!

My bobbin bin is a mix of miscellaneous “things”!

I have some time this weekend to sew, but I think I’ll be cleaning and organizing instead.

If I can get organized, I just know I can be more productive and definitely less stressed!
