Whew! The last 2 weeks have been a complete whirlwind. I have been so busy sewing for a local boutique and busy within my own shop with random sales and some custom order requests, that I don’t know up from down, in from out or day from night.  I am pooped, I am sleep deprived, I am exhausted. So what did I do? I did it again, I reorganized my sewing room.  Since I am technically sewing for 2 different businesses and I have supplies from 2 different shops, my sewing room has been a hot mess, a chaotic, overwhelming, disaster zone.  There is nothing LESS inspiring than a sewing room with crap piled in every corner, fabrics tossed aside, strings and fuzz all over the floor and 501 projects going on at once.  My husband peeked into my room yesterday and said, “you know, you could easily fill up 2 or 3 more of those units (wire cubes) and you probably would like it better because you could see everything” and then he walks away. Well shoot! That just gave me the go ahead to buy. So I headed out to Target today to get a couple more sets of wire cube storage and lo and behold, the blue ones were on clearance for $8.48, down from the original $16.99. MINE! I came home with my new items with a game plan – fabric in wire cubes, tall shelving unit as “store space” and the space under the table as plastic drawer bin hider. 5 hours later (yes, it took me that long but I DO have kids, little ones at that, ages 4 and 1 so you can imagine how many times I had to pause and climb out from behind the mountains of fabric and around the bins of ribbon and through the piles of crap.)

Anyways, here is the final result. My wall of fabric – chock full – with heavy weights and minkies on the bottom, cottons in the middle 2 rows and about 3 or 4 cubes filled with projects, cut fabrics or custom orders. Whew! It may not be perfect but I am now again inspired. A clean sewing room, an organized sewing room, a more roomy sewing room let’s creative juices flow and messes start again.
