getting organized

The spring cleaning continues!  Normally, I'm too OCD to concentrate on creative projects if the space around me is messy...but I've let my sewing storage slide for much too long.  After organizing and cataloging all my fabric, I tackled the counter space as well.  The entire area isn't done yet, but I'm feeling pretty happy about what I've accomplished so far, patting myself on the back :)

I've also tallied up my yardage and excluding muslin, interfacing and scraps, I've accumulated approximately 73 yards of fabric!  It's not all apparel fabric, lots of quilting cotton in that stash, most I've had for years.  In addition to all that yardage, I have 14 refashion projects on the back burner, both thrift clothes and alterations.

Next, tackling the drawers, lots of button, zips and binding that need sorting.  But for now, I can actually maneuver the space without getting aggravated :) 

Whew!


p.s. Don't forget to enter the giveaway so I can make space for more fabric, ha!
