I follow you through BlogLovin'. I have the same problem with losing quilt books when I'm working on a project. Now I photocopy the pattern and put it with the project and try to put the book back in the bookcase!<br />Nancy from PugMom Quilts!PugMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334609796932627536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-11620095667615595562014-02-21T15:56:56.734-08:002014-02-21T15:56:56.734-08:00Rosemary B here:

I agree with the page ripping but i can only do it with older mags, so the idea of keeping the newer ones in a tub until full makes good sense.<br />I also have a need to have access to the books and I patterns I want to work on. I also like your display stand idea for that one.<br />Keep up the great work!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824441885052008716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-18594298801225891052014-02-20T20:51:37.652-08:002014-02-20T20:51:37.652-08:00you are an inspiartion! do you provide your servic...you are an inspiartion! do you provide your services for others?Newbie Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534962427221353029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-79114081146601532212014-02-20T18:58:44.512-08:002014-02-20T18:58:44.512-08:00Well Deb, everything certainly looks organized - w...Well Deb, everything certainly looks organized - way more than my sewing room! I notice you have your magazines laying flat in the box - many will actually stand vertically, which makes paging through them quite easy. They do tend to slump if the box isn't full, though. <br /><br />I too have that problem with "where is that dang book!" because I've taken it from its home and put it with the project - or some other random place. Maybe we need to put little beepers on the things!

One thing I do that I forgot to share.....if I can't bear to tear up a magazine and want it left intact, I write on the cover with a sharpie marker the projects, etc. inside. Like "scrap pinwheel setting", "applique for leaves", or whatever. That way my memory gets a jog when I flip thru looking for something I have seen.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-1582960664532639982014-02-20T12:36:47.385-08:002014-02-20T12:36:47.385-08:00You are doing really well!I love all the magazine ...You are doing really well!I love all the magazine bins!AriadnefromGreece!Ariadnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758280304985620260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-17236182393826927202014-02-20T12:17:56.568-08:002014-02-20T12:17:56.568-08:00My mom left a huge tote of dishclothes that only n...My mom left a huge tote of dishclothes that only needed the ends woven in. Luckily my aunt finished them and returned them to me.

So I'm about on my 30th mag., flipping through the pages when I thought, you know its always in the last one you pick up. Well I grabbed the last 4 or 5 in the stack. And don't you know it was in the second one! I really should try some of your organizing tips, thanks for sharing!Podunk Prettieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703561153249594430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-54846727574494841222014-02-20T12:03:05.800-08:002014-02-20T12:03:05.800-08:00It's been very inspirational to watch your pro...It's been very inspirational to watch your progress and steal ideas for later :) While I haven't had time to work on my crafty stuff, I did finally put my office/library back together (pictures next week) as a start to cleaning out my wonder room (gosh I wonder what's in those boxes?) to make it a proper guest room when I get my brother's old bedroom set any time now...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862692878882330794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-56199992487203152942014-02-20T11:26:51.781-08:002014-02-20T11:26:51.781-08:00I have to laugh about the dishcloths too. When I ...I have to laugh about the dishcloths too. When I moved and finally combined all my crafting supplies/projects/piles, I was amazed at the number of 90% done knitting and crochet projects I found. Lots of ends to weave in. Good for you for getting those done. <br /><br />I've been organizing my studio and I've reached the limit of my storage space. That means I've got too many projects going, too many supplies or just too much stuff. Yes, I could cram more stuff into a few spots, but I'd like to be able to get things out of the closet without causing an avalanche or stepping over piles. It's hard to be ruthless though.

Book marking - ...Brilliant, brilliant organisation!<br />Book marking - definitely something I need to do. I do have five of the magazine holders but they are just too high for my book shelves, perhaps time to find some a little smaller. Your idea for magazine culling - I too had to do that last year and it' s great. Also have the project holder as you do and it's so much easier than spending ages trying to think where you last sea it! Last - love your Ikea cart I would like to get my hands on one of these - sadly no IKEA in New Zealand!Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-23131224192871620052014-02-20T11:01:39.442-08:002014-02-20T11:01:39.442-08:00Great job!

Magazines are my biggest issue and I intend to slice and dice them too. I guess organizing is just a never ending event at my house. Keep up the good work!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290293469826056373noreply@blogger.com
