WOYWW - Getting better

Good morning Whats on your workbench Wednesday.  Following last weeks chaos I felt I had no choice but to come up with a new system.  It is unfortunately still work in progress because one chest of drawers has yet to arrive and rather a lot of things are still waiting to be sorted through.

I decided the first thing to do was rearrange the bedroom.  This meant moving 3 chest of drawers, one bookcase and one double bed and of course 3 sewing machines and their table.

When I finished, I looked at OH and said 'isn't it exactly the same, but the other way round?' and the response was 'whatever keeps you happy'.

I ordered two chests of drawers (and parted with real money - quite unheard of for me). But you can't spot them because of the chaos, and because one set is still in a warehouse in Swindon. (The big arrow points to the corner of one drawer, just visible!!).

Anyway the outcome is looking very promising.  I have one side of the table for free motion embroidery, one side for glue, one side for straight sewing and one side completely burried under things still to be sorted.

Today I have to make 9 doorstops for Grug Studio, Dolgellau, so my blog hopping will be dotted throughout the week again.

    I'm just enjoying a coffee break while my little munchkins take their nap so thought I'd catch up with a few of my blogging friends and check out what you've been up to this week.
    Lovely to see how your room is taking shape and how you are organising all your new storage....I'm sure you will get there eventually :-)

    Getting organized is a big task and then finding what you organized is even a bigger one your space is taking shape hang in there.

    It's so hard organizing a room because sometimes, just because it looks good doesn't always mean it's practical for use!! lol Does that make sense? Loved your hubby's response though! waving hi from my balcony in the hills of North Carolina :)

    Hey, I've got that exact same spotty fabric that's hanging on the rail AND I've seen that nautical fabric too!! That's a fab set up you've got there and I'm really glad that the shop wants more doorstops - way to go, you!!

    I just finished a studio re-vamp this morning, so I know the hard work that goes into getting every little detail right. Yours is looking good and will be worth it in the end. dani42

    Hope you get your space looking how you want it soon.

    Envious of the sewing machine - like the idea but don't have the patience!

    Thanks for sharing.

    The arrow was a good idea I can just make out the drawers, I am sure all will get better when the rest arrive. You sure do have a lot going on.......

    Happy crafting
