I Want My Craft Room Back!

This picture is one of 4 that I took at different angles in my craft room. It's become the catch all for everything and I'm tired of it! I went in last night to look for the instruction manual to my newest sewing machine. I knew it was in there, and in a bag from the quilt retreat that I attended at the end of April. I have a lady who is commissioning me to embroidery names on tags for quilts she is making. While I was in there I started gathering the projects that I will be taking to work on at the quilt retreat that I am attending at the end of this month. Oh my....I felt like I was in there forever attempting to gather. I have put large nails all around the walls. Those nails hold UFO's (unfinished objects). Don't ask me how many bags are hanging around on the walls because I don't have an answer for that! I got down the bag that holds doll bedding set materials. I put squares in a bag for make coasters and also put in the microwave hotpad sets that I need to finish. I rounded up all the materials that I need to finish a quilt that I finished the top at the guild's retreat 2 years ago! I want my room back! I want my organization back! I want to be able to find things when I need them! I want to be able to go into my room and work again! I'm heading out in a few for my monthly Needlers group at the quilt shop. I'm taking the yo-yo table runner to work on even though I am sure after all this time, the gal that special ordered it won't buy it now. Have a good Wednesday!

I would really love to clean up all that mess in the middle and get a bed in there and ask my pregnant daughter to come back home.

I think bulldozing is a better word than fixing LOL

The kids use that room a lot too, don't they? Just pick a day and do it. Easier said than done. My outdoor craft storage is a bit un manageable at this time.

The kids don't use that room. In the past we have had a pallet on the floor for sleeping for a short time. I would love to clean it out and get a bed and have Jasmine come back home if she's not going to be able to get into those apartments for low income new mothers. But for her to come here the entire house needs to be decluttered and cleaned to have a baby here.

O my goodness - that does look chaotic. It's a wonder you managed to find anything.
