All of my floss has been piling up, I have a box of metallic threads that hasn't been put away and the pile is photocopies of patterns, books and various magazines I've been stitching patterns from. And of course you can see the current project I was working on last night/this morning sitting on the arm of my recliner. If you're wondering what the plaid thing is on the floor, that's one of Max's dog beds. He has to be within 1 or 2 feet of me at all times, so I slide it right up against the loveseat and he's a happy camper. :)
I work the closing/night shift tonight, so one of my priorities for the day (in addition to dishes & laundry) will be cleaning up this mess! This is a picture of where it all SHOULD be...
This is the hutch of Zach's old desk, which is currently used as my sewing table since it won't fit in his bedroom (or go up the stairway in this old house). Along the top I keep my binders with all my Stitchbows in them (LOVE them!! and yes, they are labeled with the numbers in each binder), my boxes that still have floss bobbins in them (working on using all of those up) along with spools of metallics, etc., and files I've made (all in various categories that are alphabetical) of misc. loose copies of patterns and then all of my projects that are on large scrolls, 17x17 Q-snaps, etc. that won't fit into the drawers of my craft bins. In the cubby holes I keep my stitching magazines, calendars with patterns and anything else like that. I have a couple of small built-in bookshelves on the other side of the living room where my hardbound books are stored. (I didn't take a picture of those).
So now you know that even someone like me that tries to be organized can be a messy pig also. I guess that means I should get off the computer and get busy cleaning!
Happy Stitching! :)
It's not that bad Kelly, at least you have a system! As long as you don't qualify for Hoarders, you're doing fine *lol*
