The updating is finished - and I love it!

I thought I'd post pictures as looking at them might help someone else with their organization. At times it seemed like it would never get done. All that is left is sewing the padded top for the ironing station. I plan to do that tomorrow while watching the TV coverage of the inauguration.

Everything in the ironing station cupboard used to sit somewhere on the floor. Now it's hidden until needed.

Marking pens and pencils, plus other miscellaneous stuff.


Bindings and binding scraps

Miscellaneous stuff

Cutting tools - newly rearranged in the top right drawer of the cutting island.

Needles of all kinds, plus other stuff. No, those aren't little condoms - they are finger gloves used when quilting with the linen thread you can see at the back of the drawer.

More oddball stuff. No, that's not a bra - it's a back support to wear when sitting at the machine.

And still more stuff.

I finally had enough drawer space to organize all my wool in one place - 5 of the bottom drawers.

Some of this is purchased, but much of it I felted from clothes I wore to work for many years.

I'm hoping to dye some of it pretty soon.

Moving two drawers of wool allowed me to rearrange the closet. I now have two drawers for every width strip - light an dark. I just need to rearrange the strips now. I was able to make better use of the shelf an the space on top of the drawers by moving stuff into the ironing cabinet. Notice one of the rolling carts is now here. The other moved upstairs to the longarm room.


I moved the short rolling cart to the far end of the cutting island near my sewing machine, as it primarily contains items I use at the machine while sewing. I can move it right next to me, set up the travel iron, and press my piecing without leaving my chair.
