Tackle it Tuesday

[tag]Tackle It Tuesday[/tag] [tag]Meme[/tag]
I did it! I cleaned my [tag]sewing[/tag] room and now can start on a new project. I actually laid out my new project yesterday, and am heading back in there today to start sewing. I feel so much better now that my sewing room is cleaned and vacuumed. Not an easy task getting all those fabrics put away and threads cleaned off the floor! Here are my before and after pictures.

    great tackle. Wish I had a sewing room. All my craft stuff, both paper and fabric has to sit on a desk under the stairs.

    Zoe – Our last house, my “sewing room” was also my daughter’s toy room and guest bedroom. It was NOT fun! I’m determined to make this room my own. :-D

    Karen – It is SO much nicer to work in there now! I’ve started a new project and I make myself clean the room before I start anything new, it gives me a feeling of being organized, even if it’s only temporary!

    You sewing room looks great. I have done a little quilt making in the past. I really feel like I would sew more if I had a good place to sew.

    Your sewing room looks fabulous! I don’t sew (except for buttons), but have a computer room that needs some tidying up. Perhaps that will be my next tackle!

    Well, I had to unbury the daybed and the cutting table, that was the worst of it. It was really a matter or getting organized. :-D

    I have a corner nook where my computer and the disaster that goes with it are located. I’m thinking that might be my tackle for next week!

    Awesome! It’s so much easier to start a project when you don’t have to wade through the mess of an old one! And I’m jealous of your sewing room!

    Thanks Jennifer! Wading through the mess is exactly what I was going to have to do! The picture doesn’t show it, but there was stuff all over the floor and the bed. Mostly fabric, so I had to find a home for all of it. It feels so much better to go in there now!

    Oh wow, nice! You’ve motivated me. I’m going to take on one room at a time. I have this bad cardboard box habit. My house now looks like a storage facility. The truth is if I can’t remember what’s in the box, I probably don’t need it but you know how it is – the creative juices start flowing and you are convinced that you’re going to make something wonderful out of those old curtains ala Scarlet O’hara.

    Mickie – I know what you mean. I need better storage solutions for all my fabric. It gets put into the closet or a cupboard and then I can’t see it, so I end up going out and buying more. I think I might look for some inexpensive shelving I can use to put the fabric stacks out so I can actually see what I have.
