Unfortunately they have to be clear containers or I can't get them all the same and I am compulsive about having matching containers - I seem to need more and more - but in different sizes. And I also use adjustable shelving. I have a wardrobe full and above my work area I have a 10ft length of 4 shelves. That lot is for my miniatures. For scrapbooking I have two bookshelves with expanding files for papers, cardstock, and stickers; boxes for ribbons, brads etc. As for my patchwork - each project is in its own plastic clip-lock bag until I am ready to work on it, then it goes into a project bag with everything that is needed for it. Sounds organised, right? The problem is that I have far too much to fit into far too little room! So the result is still chaos and I can't work at my worktable - so I work in the living room lol!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362568798383541625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739323437153748421.post-9674701956601310782011-09-26T13:05:38.323-04:002011-09-26T13:05:38.323-04:00can I relate??? eeeekkkk, mine is soooo overwhelmi...can I relate??? eeeekkkk, mine is soooo overwhelming I don't know where to start!stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525799761814106775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739323437153748421.post-5758516886642724072011-09-26T12:09:18.679-04:002011-09-26T12:09:18.679-04:00Hi Elyse!

I need to do the same. It gets out of hand so easily. On thing I noticed was that you have a whole box of cupcake toppers.

We might use it someday!! I just helped my sister~in~love purge & organize her spare room & office stash (crafting treasures). I had a blast, but she did say to me, "oh my gosh, I am a hoarder!!" I did come home to start purging again on my stuff. I have deleted a lot since packing to move & then unpacking...I think it is an ongoing job.

You made me laugh when you said you feel more like a tinkerer than a hoarder. When I watch that show I get scared that someday my home might look like that. What a scary show for us collectors to see.<br /><br />It is so true that we artists and artisans collect things that might fit into a creation someday.<br /><br />Have a lovely Sunday, and thank you for the inspiration.<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739323437153748421.post-9656758827477886692011-09-25T10:34:01.077-04:002011-09-25T10:34:01.077-04:00Oh yes, I can relate - I'm about to clean out ...Oh yes, I can relate - I'm about to clean out my craft/fabric/yarn closet again.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691249261693845371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739323437153748421.post-30105934876843017392011-09-25T08:52:37.010-04:002011-09-25T08:52:37.010-04:00Brave girl!

(Charming old farm houses don't have those.) <br /><br />I organize and organize and I still forget where things are. I guess adorable labels on cute boxes are the answer! I can see it now... The "half sheet of stickers" box. The "tiny bits of lace" box.... I think I need little boxes. I really don't have a lot of supplies and i have to be creative to use as much as I have instead of buying more. finding supplies at the thrifts is my reward for that.<br /><br />Hmmm... The Hubs is much better than Mr. Cottage. When I was growing up, I hated when my mom would say hubby. I thought it was so dumb! Of course,"The old man" was much cooler.
