Things are looking good in your cute room. Just think how productive you’ll be once you get everything organized. You’ve inspired me to get a handle on my own cross stitch supplies also. I actually organized all my Aida cloth by count and entered all the pieces in a notebook. I’ll be able to check the list before I try to purchase another piece. Counts 10, 12 and 14 are in one bin. Counts 16, 18 and 20 are in a second bin. I have finished organizing my floss as well. I will be able to check my “floss tower” before I hit Hobby Lobby for more floss. Next up is patterns. I’m about half done with those. Feeling good! I’ve created a double file card system. On white 3x5 cards I’ve alphabetized the pattern by name. On brightly colored 3x5 cards each pattern is alphabetized on the “designer card”. Surely between both options I’ll be able to locate the pattern I’m looking for. LOL. WIPs are in project bags stored in large tubs. Only the 4-5 I’m currently working on are in the stitch basket in my stitchy spot. WHEW! I’m worn out just thinking about it. ❤❤
I admire your perseverance! I cleaned out my craft room, painted the walls, cleaned the carpeting etc. The hard work started after that. I worked on the quilting first and that was at least 2 weeks of sorting but projects are together and I made a huge donation to the quilt guild. I did the same with my cross stitch and needlepoint donating boxes to the local guilds and friends. My creative memories was last. OMG! I have a large tub of pictures to get into albums! I'm cheering you on! The end result will make you more productive!!!!
Awesome! Love that you are also sorting and organizing. I forgot to show all my photos. I put them on the top shelf in the closet. Holy cow there are a lot. So that's for another day when I have retired. Lol
