For some reason, I cannot keep my craft room organized. It seems like every time I turn around, it is a mess. What usually happens is this, I wait until the last minute to start crafting for my shows in the fall. Then I work like a mad woman to get things done and somehow, nothing gets put away like it should. That and the fact that I am always at the craft store buying more supplies(I can’t turn down a sale item!), and I am running out of room to put things.
The craft closet(I am sure OSHA would declare this a hardhat area.)
I definitely need to get it organized. I can’t work in such a mess and there are some things I would like to do(like finding my sewing machine). I have been procrastinating since the first of the year. In the meantime, I learned to shop victoriously online adding to my ever growing pile of stuff(I always think of George Carlin’s bit about stuff.)
My craft table(my sewing machine is there somewhere)
I thought maybe if I published pictures of my messy craft room that would give me some incentive to get it cleaned. The plan is to try to do a little bit each day. That way, maybe it won’t seem like such a daunting task. Now my problem is, where do I start.
There is a scroll saw way back in that corner.....somewhere.

I am going to try to post updates every so often to show my progress. Hopefully this is the push I need to get me going. Wish me luck!
Have a great day everyone!
