Purge – The Sequel

I have a very small work area. It’s an alcove off our bedroom upstairs. The light could be better, it could be warmer/cooler (depending on the season), but it is all mine.

Lately I haven’t been satisfied with my space. I had two problems:
— clutter
— things weren’t in a logical location.

I have piles of clutter, some of it neatly hidden, other not so neatly hidden. As soon as I get rid of a bunch of clutter, more moves in. I’m not sure how that happens, as I don’t buy that much stuff anymore. Maybe it’s all the Here Mama’s I get from the kids (Here Mama, this is for you. Here Mama, I drew these twelve pictures during free time for you.).

My scrapbooking supplies are housed in three different locations in my workspace. My stamps are also in three locations. I have computer software and manuals everywhere. And I have computer peripherals everywhere. I look like the biggest techie in the world (but really, most of my computer stuff is pure crap!), wires everywhere.

After a lot of thinking and some measuring, I have come up with a plan to rearrange my workspace. It will start with a major purge of sewing and scrapbooking items, putting some stuff into deep storage, and moving things around.
