(Sorry the picture quality is poor. I took it with my old flip phone. My camera is dead and the charger is in my craft room...somewhere.) It actually looked worse yesterday.
I have made it my goal to work on this room a little but every week so it can reach it's potential as something other than a storage dump. This blog is an attempt to publicly shame myself into keeping to that goal. I will post every Thursday with my weeks accomplishments.
This week I gathered all my fabric together, organized it, and made a place for it in my craft closet.
You see that second shelf from the top that has nice containers instead of random junk? That is my fabric. I don't have a before picture, but it looks a lot nicer than it did as random piles tumbling over in the corners of the room (I wasn't kidding when I said it looked worse yesterday).
I also cleaned my plastic storage containers. This is them in my living room:
A bit about these. My parents are retired, and in their retired state have begun cleaning out their basement. These were all full of junk (mostly my own from high school). I got them for free as long as I took them as is (junk and all). The right hand one was in two pieces. The left one's drawers were removed and it's frame was taken apart. Being from a basement they were dusty and had dead bugs, and dead bug parts, in the drawers. This grossed me out a bit, and a damp cloth really wasn't doing the job well enough. So, after re-assembling the storage units, and emptying the drawers (yes in that order), I took them apart again. The black frames went into the shower to get hosed down. The drawers were vacuumed out and put through the quick rinse cycle in the dishwasher. I feel much better about putting stuff in them now that the bug parts are gone.
And that was my first week on Project: Craft Room. Hopefully I can keep the momentum going.
