Controlled Chaos

Of a fashion anyway.

Certain circumstances (of a personal nature) have dictated that I should recombine my sewing room with the miniature room again. 

On the upside:
* this is a much larger space than what I had to work with in the old house
* I won't feel cut off from FH in the evenings when he's home and I need to sew
* I won't need to use the dining room table for layouts and cutting anymore, allowing that room to stay de-cluttered easier
* no more pausing the movie and running upstairs to fetch something I've forgotten for a stitching project

The downside:
 I have to completely clean AND reorganize everything, including the storage room in order to pull this off.

Day 1 of reorganizing:

Day 2 of the same:

The sewing table, a small bookshelf, and the sewing machines are the only remaining "large" items that still need to move down here.  Books, supplies, tubs of fabric and yarn, patterns, etc still need to come down as well.  I'm attempting to work on what's down here first, at least until I need that little bookshelf to put things on it.  I'm also taking the time to cruise through chunks of stash and get rid of things I really will never use or have no interest in keeping.

It will probably be sometime next week before the space is usable for anything.  Then I get to rearrange the storage room and put up shelves so I can get to the tubs of fabric and yarn, and really just about anything in there, without drowning in boxes.

Well Earned Break

I've had a bit of Lady Grey and some lemon-iced cookies. I should be able to get the final bits of the craft room dealt with enough to finish moving everything that migrated out back where it belongs.

For anyone who is in a curious mood, this is what the room looks like so far:

The dollhouse porch is going to stay cluttered for a bit. Once I get the white table in the center cleared off and things from the rest of the house put away I'm going to play for a bit. I will have earned it given the previous mess.

With any luck I should be able to finish the hat shop structure (sitting on the bright yellow sewing machine cabinet) and last year's Mini Mixer project (not in the room yet) before the Greenleaf shows up. Of course given the fact of it still being in Massachusetts this morning might help me out. If the white sand shows up before the Greenleaf I could even finish the Adobe.
