Project Organization 2013! Sewing Room, part 1!

I've JUST begun organizing the sewing room. I still have a LONG way to go but I got a bunch of baskets and bins from the dollar store and was able to get started.

I began by putting each project in its own little basket or bin.....well, each project that had been shoved somewhere out in the open or stacked....(this does, of course, not include the projects hidden away in drawers or hung in the closet :O))

on the table, behind the sewing machine....the one in the middle is stacked three-deep, but they all have their own bin!
more projects
and some more
I may have shown you these already:
And here is my little cart. I try to keep my "tools" that aren't used on a regular basis in this thing:
Except for the turquoise basket on the bottom, right, I had all these on my shelves already....it doesn't look very neat but, trust me, it's in much better shape than it was before I started this project.
wanna know a "not so secret" secret? All of my cat fabric is in the bag!)

 My other shelves look AMAZING compared to how they did! I forgot to take a before picture...sorry! But it was piled up and everything was just smashed in there....here it is now though:
Isn't it lovely?!!?!

Project Organization 2013!

Since joining in with Lisa's Quilt Garden, I have been working towards organizing my home!
She has some GREAT ideas and lots of them! While I haven't had a chance to dig into her ideas yet, I did begin some small things around my home:

I bought a pot lid holder from Walmart (about $5) and used it to organize my Accuquilt GO! dies! MUCH cheaper than the one offered by Accuquilt!
Isn't that GREAT!?

Another idea I read about and implemented right away was with my sheet sets.
You take your flat sheet, fitted sheet and all but on pillowcase and fold them together. Then you place all of that into the remaining pillowcase! Your sheets stay together and it makes a nice and neat way to organize your linen closet!

And one more...and I LOVE this one....A shoe organizer from Walmart....turned yarn holder!
THIS IS A HUGE DEAL because my yarn was taking up a good third of my closet! Doesn't it look great!??!

Stay tuned for more pics and ideas! I will try to do some before and after pics moving forward!
