Do you ever have those moments when after you have agreed to
something, you suddenly wonder why on earth you said yes? After agreeing to
take some pictures of my stash for an article in The World of Cross Stitching magazine, it
suddenly struck me just how unorganized I was….you may remember me blogging
about trying to get organized, well that was the reason why!
I know I’m
unorganized and I’m quite happy to admit to it, but I’m pretty sure that most
people don’t realize just how bad I am (hangs head in shame) and to be honest,
saying it is one thing, but having everyone see it, is another matter entirely!
Yes, a picture really does speak a thousand words! Luckily, in the end, all
Sarah asked me for was pictures of how I store my threads….YIPPEEE….the one and
only thing that I am well and truly organized with!
Here’s how I store my threads….
Here’s the article as it appeared on the World of Cross
Stitching issue 194
And here’s the picture of me with my organized threads…
So, after feeling rather guilty about my lack of
organizational skills, I decided to remedy that point - albeit rather slowly.
So all my magazines were just piled up on some shelves and were
occasionally always falling over, so I decided that this would be where I would
start my journey to being super organized.
I went out and bought some magazine holders to try to coral
all the magazines. Unfortunately I had more mags than I realized and the five
magazine holders that I bought just weren’t enough! Of course, when I went back
to get some more magazine holders, the shop was sold out of the ones I had
bought….so much for being neat, organized AND MATCHING!!!! This never happens
to Martha Stewart, does it?!!!
Anyway, here’s how the magazines look now….
Rather neat, don’t you think? The rest of the shelves aren't this tidy, but I will get there!!!
So that’s the progress so far on my journey to be organized….I’ve
pulled over into a motorway café for a bit of a break!
Until next time…happy stitching!
