Time to Organize

I need to re-organize. Although this is true of the kitchen and all of my closets, especially needy is the sewing room. It will be a big undertaking as I want to get rid of my metal shelves (too deep, too wide) and completely re-do the computer area; these shelves are about 48" wide and 18" deep and take up a lot of my small space. I'm trying to accept that this will require boxing and removing a lot of fabric,useful tools, embellishments, etc. as a temporary measure.

What I really wanted to do is to for this post, however, was to share this link dealing with organizing those messy items: ribbons, trims, and lace. The Domestic Diva has given some excellent options- both handmade to purchased. I'd never seen ribbon clips or roll buddies, but they are pretty cool.

Here are some wonderful craft rooms that can provide more ideas for storage and organization. Warning: this one can eat up some time!

So - one thing that I'll be attempting during March will be clearing clutter, organizing, and finding things that I know I have, but don't know where they are. I will also be working on some WIP's and doing more work on this:

because it is relaxing and requires no thought, allowing me to ponder the thoughts that come to mind or to watch television as I choose.

Miss Bryce will be arriving to stay with Jenny Claire until tomorrow. Amelia and Chris are going to Lafayette to see a comic who is appearing in a club there, so we will have the care of the heir apparent.
