It was, mmmmm, three months ago my mom taught me to crochet. Since then she has given me so much of her left over yarn, that I have had to really start getting organized.
It was about two months ago that a friend of mine hired me to sell her stuff on ebay. Now it's REALLY time to get organized. My apartment is big, but it's not that big.
I knew I needed to get the yarn out of reach from the cats, but I just didn't have the closet space after all the ebay stuff made it into my house. So I took two shelves on my bookcase, used some storage bins I bought at Walmart and got organized.
I also bought a large basket at the craft store to put MORE yarn in. It sits next to the couch. My thought was I could swap out the yarn to use it as decor for various seasons. Add a little festivities to this place.
But it isn't all just about the "work" stuff getting organized. (And by work stuff, I mean, deepestofgrace.etsy.com and look for leechgirl3 on ebay.)
Anyhow, I decided to tackle my bedroom too. I got rid of some stuff and I went

Do you know how much space is unused in your closet?! One of the biggest things I saw was to add more shelving, but that wasn't possible for me. So I got two hanging shoe racks, one hanging cubby, and three skirt/pant hangers that hold six pairs of pants/skirts at a time. I also stacked up as high as I could on the shelf. Look! I have SOOOO much room in there now!
I think I could thrive on this, this organization thing.
