Organizing

My sewing/craft/guest room has been a wreck for some time. I have had most of my sewing things in boxes under the desk and in the closet. Well my brother-in-law is coming to stay with us this summer so I decided it was probably time to get my act together and clean up. Here is what my desk looked like -- now granted when I took this picture I had emptied a box out onto the desk so it does look a little worse that usual.


And here is the room now. Last week I was able to head up to IKEA with Britney and we had fun buying a bookcase and all kinds of organizing things. A day shopping with out the kids was a treat! Cord however didn't think the bill was such a treat. :)

I took out one of the tables in the room and put things on the bookcase instead. This was much less space is taken up. I feel so good knowing that everything has a place now.

I love these jars with my Grandma Canning's old wooden spools in them. It makes me happy to see them and it reminds me of her. She was such a joyful person and I miss her dearly.

Ahh and I must say I love my label maker!

And isn't this a cute pin cushion? Carrie from my quilt group gave it to me after I taught the group one month.

So now I can find anything I need and Keegan doesn't have to look at a mess!
