There is something to be said about having things in order. For the last couple of months I feel like everything in my life has been in a constant state of flux (is that a word?) The last couple of days I have been feeling an overwhelming desire to organize my fabrics. I guess it started when I saw this post that I linked to from someone's blog. It had a nice tutorial on how to make them all look uniform. It was wonderful and I pulled out my plastic tote full of half folded fabrics and mess and started folding (while I was at it I inventoried how much I had of each - I know I'm crazy.) But now I love how it looks. Of course I have them separated by color and type. It seemed to make me feel a little bit less crazy and a little bit more organized.
As you can see from the next picture, I like to have things labeled. I think it was when we moved that my brother-in-law thought it was awful funny that I had one of my totes labeled "Glue and Hot Glue Gun." What's so funny about that - I know exactly where it is and what it is.
Here they are on the shelf - I'm not sure if they will stay there because of the dust factor but I like that they are all lined up and look so pretty. The second row over (the pink, green, brown and red) are a new project I hope to get underway after I finish a couple of loose ends (otherwise know as unfinished projects.)
I've also been organizing my UnFinished Projects (UFO) and want to start the month of March off with a UFO Completion Project. DO YOU WANT TO JOIN ME?? I might post my list of UFO's (if I'm not to embarrassed) and then see how many I get done before the end of the month. It has been one of my unwritten goals for the year to complete 2 UFO's before I get to start a new project. But I'm thinking I need to up the ante and do 10??? for March. We will see what happens. . .
Ok...so now I have to add this to my list of UFO's....folding and organizing all my fabric...a year ago, I didn't even have any fabric...you should see it now...WAY too much. But I'll get to it....eventually. Looks awesome!!!!
