Getting Organized

I am attempting to get a head start on some of my goals for the new year!  I really want to create better functionality in the crafty room.  I began to feel that the walls were closing in on me so I decided to kick husband out of his closet (to be fair it was in the crafty room and he had the largest closet in the house).  Look what I did with all the new space!

I even took advantage of the door... using a shoe holder to wrangle in all of the things I often pile around and then lose! (yep, I'm a piler!)

It feels so good to be organized and have space!  When things begin to get cluttered, I am unable to function.  Hopefully I can keep on track and continue to keep the crafty room organized.  I figure if I put it out there, I will be held to it! :)

Has anyone else started to make goals for next year?

Today

Was for cleaning... I stayed up late last night working on some things for my soon to re-open Etsy, and look what happened to my desk.

This is the classic "I can't concentrate on one thing for too long and start to do too many things at one time".  Don't you like that lovely pile.... it looks like it could fall at any moment!  

When I stepped into my crafty room today, I couldn't imagine doing one more thing in that tiny workspace I allotted myself amongst all the piles.  (Also, not pictured is the floor, or the desk, or the sewing table... be glad)!  I spent today cleaning so I could be much more productive and finish the things on my ever long to-do list!

Yay! So much better! I also re-arranged some things.  I have tendencies that lean toward being obsessive compulsive, so I also organized buttons, snaps and tiny things and put them all in the proper places.  It feels so much better.... just do me a favor and don't open the closet :).
