Chaos returns

I thought I had cleaned and organized my sewing room, but apparently that was just a dream. I sorted all the spools by color so Buddy could find spools made from the same fabric and remove duplicates. Instead, he found the spools were infested with laser pointer red dots that required his immediate attention.

And this is the pile of 1.5 inch strips that I am raiding to feed into about three projects that I have started within the last couple of days.

And this is Buddy and Molly's solution to my cat toy storage system. Buddy likes to keep his toys in the bedroom so he can play with them during the night. So he steals toys from storage and drops them off at various points between the sewing room and the bedroom. He thinks that the best alarm clock for staff is a fur ball dropped on the face.

Over time, I've tried various storage methods for containing my mess. Two years ago when we lived in Virginia, I used plastic bins.

Last year, when we were living in the apartment, I used plastic bags for temporary storage.

And then last year, when we first moved into this house, I tried storing decorative items on the fireplace mantel. I guess its all a work in progress that requires life long learning.
