Re setting the Sewing room

I have decided that my dining room that has been my "temporary" sewing room until my 17 year old goes to college. is going to be my permanent sewing room. and if this is going to be permanent, I better get some organization to the mess.

I learned from Flylady how to de-clutter and area and how to get things better organized. If you have an area like what I have above, then may I suggest flylady? Shes great and has helped me get control over so many aspects of my life.

Moving on! you see the door? That is my pantry/ broom closet or can I say, the closet you don't dare open? there was no room for anything. so I cleared it all out, Kept the stuff I loved, and i am donating the rest. unless its junk then i am going to throw it out.

the right hand side of the closet is very long it extends all the way back to my china hutch, (you can see just the corner of it on the right)

it has two shelves in it. the top shelves i now have all of our board games on the top shelf, and on the bottom shelf all of the things that go on my craft table. Pretty slick huh? I actually made a place to STORE my finished craft stuff in between shows! All I have to do to get ready for a show now is pull it out and put it in the car! all in one place right where i can get it.

Under the shelf is a place for my folding chairs, ice cream freezer, a ladder and yes I can get to the ladder =) and my hose to clean my fish tank with.

The things I use most (ladder and fish hose) are the easiest accessible, and I always use them together so it doesn't matter that the hose is in front of the ladder on a hook.

I even have room for a stack of totes that I can keep my fabric in! this way they aren't all laying on the floor around my sewing table!

It will be nice when I get it all done I will keep you posted!
