Saturday’s Progress…

Well, I’ve done all that I’m feeling up to doing out in the craft room today. Thought I’d share some pictures to show you the slow, but hopefully, steady progress.

  100_7445 Remember, this is what it looked like when I got started. I sort of always felt like this unit could fall on top of me. I’m so short, I needed a chair to reach the top. So, I reconfigured it to be a little less overwhelming.

Here’s what it looks like now. I can’t even begin to tell you how frustrating getting it to this point was. Not because it is so hard to do, but because the cable ties I was using to put the grids together kept breaking! OY! They are old, but I didn’t really want to stop to go get more, so I was yelling ARGHHHHH, each time one wouldn’t work. LOL It’s a little less intimidating now, don’t you think?

I don’t have a before shot of this, but I’m working on utilizing these shelves better. Given the hard time I was having with the cable ties, I wasn’t in the mood to alter the grids, but I did reinforce them a bit. This may not stay this way at the end of this process, but for now it seems to be okay. I have the rest of the pattern paper (old, but not CTMH) that I decided to keep. I am trying to create areas of each item. This is obviously the button and ribbon area. For now, I put the felt and fabric in the mailing box you see. I’m not sure just how to store the fabric/felt. Any ideas from you sewers out there?

And I also worked on cleaning up my work table. I suppose I could sit down and create something now, if I had the energy, that is! LOL

The floor in this area is cleared out, too. Not so, the rest of the space, but you already know that from the pictures I shared earlier today.

There are some playoff games on tv, so I think I will put my feet up and watch as well as work on Steve’s socks!

Thanks for stopping by. If you are working on your space, and have a blog, take pictures and let us know in the comments. We can encourage you like you are me! If you see something you think I can do or store better, please, please, please, let me know!

You've done a lot of work Jeanne. I have purged quite a bit from my area but still have a lot to do in the organizing area.

Have fun watching football.

Cracks me up that you're so into football. ;)
