Yesterday I felt like if I had to live with the excess clutter in my sewing room, I was going to lose it. My earliest crafting days started out with creating in polymer clay and scrapbooking. As a result of that, my sewing room is filled with supplies from these hobbies. I now have quilting and fabric dying supplies in there as well. It was all.too.much. But where was I going to put all these supplies once I moved them out of the sewing room? I looked around the house and found that the closet under the stairs in the finished basement was nearly empty and had a set of shelves. A-ha!! Space. I enlisted the girls to help me clear the items out from my sewing space to the closet in the basement. I still have a lot of stuff, believe me. I didn’t want to put away all the scrapbooking stuff either plus I have way to many albums to be anywhere other than the shelves that were built for that purpose. This is the result…I needed a clear counter top for my own sanity.

The wooden desk is where I can design and write. I actually have 3 or 4 chapters of a young adult novel written. I’d like to finish it. The young adults in my house think it’s pretty good which is HUGE.

So I went in there this morning and nearly finished Amanda’s skirt. It was heaven. Space. Clean counter. Organized shelves (for the most part). Feels.So.Good.

Last night we had a visitor to the bird house hanging from the tree in the backyard….well, hello there Mr. Toad.
