Closet

I am so sorry to be boring again, but I am reorganizing another closet today. We installed 3-20" deep shelves in my sewing room closet. My husband cleaned the carpet, so I can't yet put everything away. But I have made a start. The bolts of fabric and fleece, and batting I had on the floor are now on a shelf. There is room on the floor for 4 very large plastic boxes, holding fabric sample books, or other genres of fabric.
I have 2-12" deep shelves above for plastic shoeboxes holding trims, zippers, and other bits. My 2 sewing tables are piled high with fabric bundles of unfinished projects, soon to be put away. Some of the sweater size boxes full of sparkle tulle, lame, dazzle fabrics, and sheers will be put away soon too. I hope to have the floor clear! No more stacks. Wish I could count this as a finished artwork.

Cleaning Closets

I am still hard at work, cleaning and organizing my house. Today we put up 2-20" deep shelves and 1-12" deep, in the guest room closet. The last regular resident there, my son, still has a bunch of junk here. I am making a few executive decisions about it, and donating things to charity. But old electronics are foreign to me, so I have no idea what is valuable. Most of it is trash worthy I'm sure. I still have 2 large boxes of junk in there, and a top shelf full. And the bed is piled with teenage and college age boy stuff. At what age is paintball unlikely to be played again? Does a black suede vest have any value, other than nostalgia?
The closet has been stuffed with piles of my finished art quilts. They usually fall out when the door is opened. Now they lay in neat stacks, organized by type and size, yay. Somehow the room feels bigger ;^)
p.s. I found 6 quilts that need binding :^(
