Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
Organization videos that show before-and-after are my FAVORITE. Plus, the ZONING idea is MOST helpful!
Wow, thank you!!!!
This is one of the best "show me, don't just tell me" videos I"ve seen. More, please!
Murphy's Law of sewing: no matter how much fabric, and how many spools of thread you have, each next new project means you will not have the exact right color of thread! :-D Corollary: the bobbin will always run out of thread 1/2" before the end of a seam, or right in the middle of a long seam! (Someone needs to invent a bobbin case that holds an entire spool of thread, so the upper and lower threads are equal and this can't happen!) ;-)
OMGosh! That happened to me last week! I loaded it up before sewing... it STILL ran out mid project. LOL
I tried to engineer a sewing machine that holds a full spool of thread. It doesn't seem like it would be hard. Commercial machine builder has profit, time savings motivation to get the job done
True, every word 😁
@@meman6964 That would be genius!
I'm in the middle of organizing the craft room: first room in the house and it's all because of you! It all started with the gutter video, which I'm using for my paint and ribbon. BUT GUESS WHAT!??!? I FINALLY FOUND AN ANSWER TO MY FLOWER PROBLEM! GUTTERS! Upside down gutters - we're drilling holes in them - it's cheaper than anything else and the flowers finally find a home where they DO NOT GET SQUISHED!🤪💯💕😘 I'm so very happy 😊 you are here!
OMGosh! Amanda!!!!! That is AMAZING! I am so excited for you!!!!!! Please, please, PLEASE take pictures!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer ok, I will. Just as soon as I take a nap 😴
"A ton of fun" has many definitions. YIKES~ It's all in the 'can-do' attitude, like a game challenge. I've learned so much and changing my attitude from being overwhelmed to 'I can do this'
Isn't that the truth!!!!
I love the before and after organization videos. They seem like magic to me. I just can't seem to visualize things like you do. I look at my piles and feel like I'm being asked to spin straw into gold!
That made me laugh..... That's a craft skill I'd like to master! LOL
LOL!
I’m downsizing, more accurately I’m simplifying. When my parents passed, I ended up as the keeper of memories of our parents, grandparents, and, in some cases, even great grandparents. As much as I love these things, I just can’t keep them all. So for my new home I’m only taking what works and it’s working out great. I’m also using so many of your organization ideas. So thank you for the ideas, inspiration and for the day I found you on RUclips. Keep up the wonderful work you do. You certainly have a calling and are helping people.
Thank you so much, Susan!!! I am so glad I could help. I'm excited for your new home - please keep me posted on how it all goes! 💜
I can so relate! My dad was so sentimental and was really into family genealogy, so I have boxes and boxes of photos from the past 100+ years. Oh, and he loved taking pictures, so that added to it, too!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I will, but NO before pictures. At the moment I feel like I live in a hoarder hovel. 🤣. Thank you again.
I love the before and afters. It’s so rewarding to see how wonderful the space is it is organized.
Thank you!
Seeing before and afters are GREAT! I love your idea of putting wheels on that book case so it can be easily pulled out of the way.
Thanks so much!
OMG!!! I have those wire shelves and never thought of that technique! What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing that and all the other ideas! I am getting ready to reorganize my garage and have 3 of these that I will completely refigure using this awesome idea! My mind is racing with all the options that just opened up! So glad I found your channel! 🥰
Yay!!! So glad I could help!
I actually cry at times when I watch your videos. You give me hope.
Consider me your personal cheerleader and giver of suggestions AND hope! 💜
I love these before and afters...so inspiring!
Thanks, Jen!
This video has given me all kinds of encouragement. It's Spring cleaning time and it seems never-ending.
I enjoy the before and afters. Great work!
Thank you very much!
Love these kinds of videos! Always come away with something useful to help me organize!
I'm so glad! Thanks Diane 💜
The sewing room shows me just how truly talented you are. Please show more like this...especially the bulls eye area because that's my weakness, always having to get up to get something because I just don't have the items near me and can't figure out how to do that so i's functional yet attractive. You are the best Norine!!!
I'm happy to share more!!! Thanks for watching!
Rolling carts! I made an ironing board on the top of one. And, yes, it is wonderful to relax and sit a spell and just sew fabric together, while listening to an audio book or something.
Yes, I get good ideas by looking how you reorganize other people's space. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love seeing the before and after photos… and that they are real spaces, not always huuuuge rooms. Thank you ❤️
You are so welcome!
I got up right after watching this video organizing my craft area. It wasn’t messy. I reorganized my supplies and fabric. Now it works even better than before.
I am doing the happy dance in your honor!!!! Way to go, Kathie!!!!
I appreciate your organizing examples I can identify with!! We are moving and my craft room will be shared with the computer! My husband is LESS than happy but you have challenged me to make a lot of good decisions!
How exciting! I love new spaces - sit in a chair and literally think about what you will be doing. Imagine reaching for things and what you will be doing at that table/desk. This really helps to plan and realize what storage systems you may need. Keep me posted!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Rethinking use of two homes on same property... and a garage apartment!! I may have a room of my own!!
Have watched the video twice and will revisit with a pen and paper, lots of hints and tips to take forward with me, I have a whole house to declutter, and the gardens! Only found you a little while back but already binged on your videos to get so much inspiration, thank you so much Norinne.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for being here, Lynn!
Thank you Noreen for this encouragement. It really helped me to actually see other messy then happy organized spaces! I'm a visual person, and this spoke volumes :) love to see your smiling encouraging face. Here's to 100,000!!!!
You are so welcome! 💜
For the first time in my life I have an extra room that is my craft room - yippee. And I picked the spare room that faces the back yard where I’ve planted a flowering garden and added a bird bath. While I don’t have my most used items on a wall in front of me, the joy I get from looking out at my garden while I craft is worth it.
Yay!!!! I'd have chosen the same room for the same reason. :)
I have used the tile game analogy for years!! It's so much fun to me to see someone else make that comparison. It's also a lot of fun to see chaos become calm in these before and after examples. They provide hope and encouragement that my own challenges can go beyond just being met. ~ Elizabeth
Yes! I'm so glad that is your take-a-way from this. xoxox
Norrine, you area very patient saint. My anxiety level would be through the roof. When I get that overwhelmed, my mind just shuts down and I can’t focus, or basically my body shuts down too. I can’t even cry to get it out. Im just paralyzed. Luckily my husband understands and protects me. Things were so calm and regimented when I was a kid. My mom was a Sargent in the Korean War. I just wasn’t used to chaos, even though there were four of us kids. We didn’t scream at each other. We spoke calmly to each other. As wonderful as all that was, it just makes it hard to live in the chaos that comes with this world we live in. So, I’m so impressed that you can dive right into it and fix it. Love you, Norrine.
It's been my coping skill - and I am so happy to share it with others to bring them calm. 💜
Thanks 👍, You are so practical.
You also make it look so Easy and the final look is beautiful ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
I always say I'm a pilot. I pile it here. Then I pile it there.
That is adorable! I'd never heard that. :)
I love the before and afters. Although, I have to say, as a quilter, I do not get up to iron. I have an ironing board that I constructed on top of a rolling cart. I cut holes in the plywood for it to sit on the top shelf, and covered it with batting, 'insulbright' (the stuff inside potholders), and flannel on top. The other two shelves hold the iron and spray starch, etc. I roll this over to my machine and happily sit there listening to audio books with my fabric on my left, the sewing machine in front of me, and I have rolled the ironing board cart to my right. TIP: Don't twist your back to turn and iron! Roll the entire chair....or you get an owie. Now, for ironing yardage, yes, I have a standard size ironing board.
Thanks for another great video!! I see that lots of people have a thick wool mat....and I'm wondering if I could shrink up a bunch of wool (which I have) and make one of those. They are pricey! Idea for another video???
I don't know. ;( But I have many crafters in my Crafty Organizer Support group page on Facebook. I'll bet one of them would have a suggestion: facebook.com/groups/730125317461615/
@@TheCraftyOrganizer If I get over to FB, which I don't often do, I'll check that out! Thank you for all that you do!
Love the inspirational saying above her peg board. "Do epic sh*t"
LOL I meant to blur that out. Glad it didn't offend you! :D
Most definitely did not offend. I need one for my house now. 😆
great!
Your clients must have been thrilled and felt a great sense of freedom to find things easily. Love!
Their reactions are the best part of the job. 💜
we started tackling the garage today and have the 3rd section of it totally full for the trash man! And more to do tomorrow!
WAY TO GO!!!! Isn't it so exciting to make that progress!!! :)
Great video. Concise, thoughtful, and wonderfully informative 💕
Thanks Ginger! 🌺
I am always inspired to do more crafting and organizing when I watch your videos! I get discouraged sometimes when my health issues flare up but then you come along with a new video and your beautiful, smiling face and I am totally encouraged again!
You are such a beautiful person. I am so happy to have you here with me. 💜
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I feel totally blessed to be able to call you friend!
I love these videos! Thanks so much for these!!
Glad you like them!
Yes, more of these please!
that puzzle has been exactly what my life has been in ths tiny apt.
Apartments are hard, those storage 'aha' spots are hard to find... So you have to create them. You can share pictures to my Crafty Organizer page on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/730125317461615/ My group is amazing and we can help with suggestions!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Love the group!
I really was interested in this video! Great ideas! I have reorganized my sewing/craft room a couple times, as my main interests have changed. Probably will use some of your ideas next! Love all your videos!
I'm always re-doing my room! Keeps me on top of what I have. :)
These are great for ways to organize stuff in different parts of a house. Working on my own sewing area to be able to see what I have.
Wonderful!
My 2 oldest daughter's said they planned on coming over tomorrow to help.. I've done most of the throwing away..So mostly its Organizing. I'M Going to SHARE This video with them.. They have wonderful imaginations .. I'm a bit overwhelmed.. I'll share what happens.. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! HUGS!!😁💗🤟🙏❣
I love this! I looked around my room as I was watching and realized I could use some of the ideas right where I was sitting. Thanks.
I love that!!!!!
Love the before and after videos. It’s a nice compliment to your how to’s.
I appreciate that!
Just had an "aha" moment when you showed the fabric storage of prints only ! I am going to do this as I have tons of solids and prints. great idea! thx. Really enjoy the before and afters.
YAY!!!!!! I am always so happy to hear when that happens!!!!
Real spaces that mostly use what you have are super encouraging!
So glad I found your channel! You are so inspiring!
Thank you so much! I'm happy you are here.
Thank you for your videos. I always learn something from them. I can't wait to see your play button, you are so deserving of it. You are very hardworking and always providing great content.
Thank you so much!
I love hanging out with you too. And your subbies are fabulous!
Yay! Thank you for being here, Cass!
Yes!Yes!Yes!!!! Please, love this!!
I find your "Bullseye term" really helpful when trying to plan how to organize my surroundings and how to prioritize items when I'm tidying and decluttering etc, thank you ♥
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching, Karen. :)
Love the sewing room fabric organization!
This is content I enjoy, definitely! I'm working on my place and find it inspiring, even if I am not creating a sewing room, or organizing a garage. I live in a 1-bedroom apartment, and so I take the concepts and scale them down to fit my space. I especially enjoy 'small space' organization before and afters, as you can imagine. Thanks for all your great work!
Yay! That's what I am always aiming for. Thanks for being here!
Love these videos, especially the before and after! Still working on my room(seems like I always am lol)!
I'm always working on my spaces too..... :)
I like those before and after videos 👍🏻
Love this! Inspirational and yes, a few A-Ha moments. Time to consider the bullseye in my craft room and move out some things from desk area. Will set the timer tomorrow and try one area. 😊 Thank you!
Yay!!!! Keep me posted on how it goes!!!! I'm rooting for you!
Yes, these videos give me ideas
Inspiring and motivating! More please! Love and be blessed always ❤
Thank you! Will do!
Freakin' love that puzzle analogy! Thank you, only touch it once doesn't work in less than 500 square feet 🤪
Right?! I used to think I was a horrible organizer. Then I realized I was just honest with myself. LOL
Good Morning ☀️ Norrine ☕️ Have a safe and blessed Sunday 🥰 Great ideas as always😍
Good morning, Maritza! Hope you've been doing well. xoxoxo
Hello sunshine. Yes, very helpful. You just rock Norrine. Thanks for sharing the before and after clips. Stay cool. 🌞😎🌈🥰
You too, Elise!! Have a great weekend! 🌈😎
These were wonderful examples. We are both working on fixing our guest/workout room and my craft room needs going over again. I found so many tips and hints I can use. I want to see more like this. :-)
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, Michelle!
Like the way you rerange small rooms , they look so good when thay are done
Thank you!
Yes! Yes! These videos are so helpful! 🤗💕🦋
So glad!
Hi!! Please make sure when organizing a sewing room to make sure the sewing has to get up and move to get to the ironing station. I am a quilter who has learned this lesson the hard way. It took once for me to have to walk ten steps to stand up straight to learn this little trick and I’ve never had a problem since. Safety over convenience every time!
Thank you so much for all of your tips!! I look forward to watching your videos...reason being is I have a very small craft room...it is actually a loft above my living room. I struggle with trying to organize it. I really don't have vertical space and not much floor space either. Sometimes my craft room is so discouraging that I don't even want to craft...anyway enough of my ranting...lol...thank you for all you do!!
You are so welcome! I think it would be so much fun to have a loft!!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I love the loft! It is fun...I just wish it was slightly larger!! 😀
Hello sunshine. Yes, very helpful. You just rock Norrine. Thanks for sharing the before and after clips. Stay cool. 🌞😎🌈🥰
What a perfect time to see this video, I'm in the midst of organizing my sewing and craft room combo. You have so many incredible ideas to make life so much easier. Thank you for all you do
Thank you for saying that! I appreciate it, Louise!
I love your videos. So much inspiration and learning tips. You are so caring and so sweet . Another great outcome. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
Yes, your videos do give me better ideas in creating better organized in storing items.
I'm so glad!
Super super cool! I love this kind of video - love before and afters and your notes about how you are thinking about each project. More please!
Yay, thank you!
I'm in so much pain I'm not able to do much. These videos give me ideas I hope to use one day. Thank you..
Oh, Carolyn! I am sorry to hear you are in pain. Sending you healing hugs.
This was so helpful. I love your slide puzzle analogy! I have 2 rooms in the lower level of a split entry ranch to sort/purge/organize and not a lot of room to spread out to sort. I have stations in my craft studio so maybe I'll try to organize by station instead of staying overwhelmed looking at the whole room.
It is overwhelming. Keep it to short, focused sessions. Either keep it to a set time, or a set amount of items.... But try and sort what you can ahead of time and have an idea of where things will go either temporarily, or long term. This way you're not holding something and asking yourself, 'where do I put this'. :) Trust me.... I've done that! LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer thank you! I have a couple spots of functional space and I will try your tips to get more.
These are amazing transformations. I love how you did an office in the closet! I'm going to have a sewing nook in my craft room now!! Thank you so much for the great idea!!!
Yay! Thank you!
You are always so helpful! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Love these vids! You always have so many useful ideas!
Thanks so much!!
Hello Norrine: Thank you for the before/after👏👏👏. Really a great visual help and inspiration.! You are the best❤️😀
Thank you! 😃
Love all these ideas. I just have too much stuff. Related to mental health issues. So find it hard to throw anything away !
I'm working on a video addressing that today! Should be out next week. xoxox
well done! the biggest take-away for me was from the garage segment: taking two metal shelf units and converting them to three/four! brilliant
Thank you!!!
Your videos are always encouraging and inspiring!!!!
I'm so glad!
The before and afters are inspiring. My place is such a mess that it’s hard to know where to start, but I think I might start with my closet.
I'm rooting for you!!!! Consider me your personal cheerleader and giver of suggestions! 💜
Awesome video! Hugs and purrs
Thank you! 😊
My room went from over 2 1/2 car garage to 8x 11 sweet studio off of the kitchen with French doors.
The walls and closet ( including door) I’m in with sending 11 boxes sent to people who were starting out. I was a 22 year scrapbooking crafter and home business as a home interior designer. Creating primarily window treatments and bedding. We had a home built (2022 sq feet under roof. ) my walls were used by putting up inexpensive but very sturdy shelves. Nothing on floors
OH MY! I'll bet those people got some amazing supplies!!!!! Good for you!
I think I will replace the notice board above my craft desk with a peg board and containers for things I reach to the side for. I have utilised shelving on the wall above my desk so I can just reach up or stand to pull down a container to retrieve something. It works well and I seldom have to move far from my desk. Your ideas are great, I'd love to turn the wardrobe in this room into work space but it holds my husband's clothes!
I LOVE all your content no matter what it is and get excited to watch your videos. Thanks for being such an awesome creator! 💙
You're the best, Anne! I so appreciate all of your support. xoxoox
I love your videos. You never fail to inspire me and teach me new and valuable tricks.
❤️ Shirley
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching on a regular basis 💜
I love your videos. I’m tearing my craft room apart again lol. You give me so many great ideas. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕
Yay! We're organizing together! I'm doing my garage... again. :)
Thanks again for all these wonderful ideas. I’m going to try turning my built in cupboard into a little office space
Oh, Rose! I love that idea!!!! Please take before and after photos! I'd love to see!!!
LOVE SEEING BEFORE & AFTERS. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching, Deb!
Inspirational as usual
These videos are very helpful. Thank you for sharing them.
I loive all of your ideas. They are and you are so inspirational to me. Thank you so much. Pauline from Kansas
Thank you so much!
I love all your videos. I take something from each one. Thank you for sharing
Awesome! Thank you!
I am organizationally challenged. But these videos give me ideas for cleaning up the office and my closet. I am really having trouble with my bathroom. I did throw away a lot of makeup and things I haven’t used. I guess I have to go through my tubes, bottles of body moisturizing lotions.
You can do it!
Another fantastic video with lots of lessons! Thanks so much 🙏🏽
Glad you like them!
Love love this type of video. Please keep them coming.
You got it!
Love your videos. You give a lot of good ideas for getting organized. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks Norrine.
Thanks for watching, Tracey!
I am almost finished my craft room set up. I now have to decide on a desk design. I am waiting to see how I use the room. Using your tips I have been able to relocate and organize a 21 by 13 ft area from a woodworking shop to a sewing and craft space. I am already using the space although the carpeting does not arrive until,next week.
Wonderful!! I'm so excited for you and the new space!!!! I'd love to see photos, if you have some. :)
You are soooo right about having to touch things more than once when planning organization. My entire house has crappy storage from small closets to just non existent storage. I have come up with idea after idea, after idea...but I am getting there. I am still working on my craft room and can't wait to send you pictures. You are truly an inspiration to me and your videos have helped me tremendously!
I'm so excited for you!!!! You will get there - I promise!!!! I'm so appreciative to have you in as a Patron. Thank you again!!! xoxoxo
Love Love LOVE before and after videos; very inspirational as I tackle my home office/craft room
I am the one doing them, and I'm still amazed at the difference from before to after! LOL
Yes! Very helpful! Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!!!! I have about 8 wire shelving units-I have extra shelves left over I wasn't sure what to do with. I needed more units but your idea has saved me money I don't have. YOUR NUMBER FAVORITE FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!! I am ALWAYS so happy to save someone money!!!! Let me know how it goes!
I wish you lived in Fl! You did a great job on all those rooms!
Thank you!! 😊
