Pics of my fabric stash (one of them, have three). Decided to start the new year by taking inventory, organizing and planning. Have realized that I SHOULD NOT BUY another piece of fabric for a long time. Will definetly have to stay away from the stores because I just cannot resist nice fabric. Did good and did not even check out connecting threads fabric sale last week. I could always have my own sale and then buy more, I will do my best but how long will I be a good girl, LOL.

Part of the reason I buy it when it is available is because we are losing most of our fabric stores, luckily we still have club tissue and fabricville, I have even started buying on line,

I love a challenge and I have a reputation for my organizational skills, LOL
Start with a purge because as I found yesterday times change and you no longer need certain fabrics. Start with one older ones first,

I took over my sons bedroom when he moved out so it isn't to bad. My DH put in 2 sets of cupboards and my sister and I made a thread rack (on the wall),
Suits my purpose of course it could always be bigger LOL

Just do it once and then maintain it, must admit it takes discipline though,

Thanks Linda,
I need things to be in order otherwise I find it difficult to get anything done,
Hugs
Michelle

by michemb 01 Jan 2012

As you can see that is my problem. I love it so much, the colors, the textures, the patterns and so on, another addiction but who is counting,
LOL

I find when it is neat you don't loose time searching for things, I NEED to be neat,
I keep little things in plastic containers and by color, that also makes it easier,

I am a bargain hunter, soooooo, when the price is right don't want to leave it there, it might get lonely so I bring it home to make new friends,

I store mine in the basement and a few months ago got them organized into clear plastic containers and was amazed to see what I actually had.

by michemb 01 Jan 2012

Thanks, once organized you start thinking of all the projects that need to be completed. UGH I am tired just thinking about it,LOL
hugs
Michelle

by michemb 01 Jan 2012

LOL

by michemb 01 Jan 2012

I go through them and give away (to the church or women craft groups) what I will not use. I am sure if you kindly asks your friends if it is o.k. with them that you did something like this, they would agree.
Hugs
Michelle

by michemb 01 Jan 2012

Thanks, have to be organized otherwise I go crazy, I try twice a year to go through and put everything in the proper place, get rid of what I will not use, (give those to church organization and they make things to raise money, etc). Organization is the key

January should definetly be Organization Month, how can we know where we are going if we do not know what we have,my stablizers rolls are all lined up and am waiting on hubby to add shelves in cupboard for the bigger rolls, the little stuff has drawers dedicated to each type of whatever,

by michemb 01 Jan 2012

This does not include any flannels or any of the polar fleece. Come to think of it I have other fabrics (that I use for making St, Nicolas) stored in big tubs elsewhere, I guess that makes 4 LOL
