Thanks for keeping it real! I think we look at the 'staged' craft rooms on Printrest and despair that our space does not look like that. I'd rather come visit a place like yours with lovely antiques and one is clearly a working space, not a white, sterile, color blocked stage set. BTW, my "Au Fil des Nichoirs" came Saturday, so I'm ready for the October start!

Hi, thank you for the tour of your stitch heaven. Really like the display wall made from insulation. Great idea- may have to borrow that! Your dad’s wood worked pieces are remarkable, truly works of love and beauty. Thanks, again.

I don't feel so bad abt my space /room now. Lots of boxes and file boxes, my sewing machine. It always looks like a tornado hit it but I know where EVERYTHING is. Mine is in the living room I never used. I have a TV and recliner in here too. I heard diamond painting kit? U should show that too. Love your stitchy space. Thank you for your time. Love the videos.

I have a suggestion for your orts! I save them and during spring place them outside on bushes for the birds to use for nest building. As they disappear, I add more. The birds love them along with small pieces of fabric trimmings.

Thank you for sharing how your treasures are organized. Right now my room looks like a bomb went off in it. But I just ordered some shelves to try to go vertically and make access an storage more efficient. I know that I am a messy crafter but I also like things to look nice, so it is a constant battle between creating or tidying. Lol.

Wonderful Brenda! Thanks so much. I’m a stunned it takes 4 containers for DMC? Do you have several floss bags for each color? I may need to update my 1980s drawer my husband made for me for my complete set. I am a BIT attached to my drawer😂 Duplicate skeins do not fit in it. For sure I will do NPI like your DMC Huge tip for me and you shared every detail ❤. Love seeing your fabric organizing. Mine is getting close to looking like yours, just haven’t found the right bins yet. Two tries so far. Lol

Thank you for sharing your happy place. I have not been able to find any good tags to identify my project bags and love the little ones you use. I couldn't find on amazon, do you remember what they were called? You also hang all your seasonally projects on the wall and the smalls in your cabinet but do you hang any of your work around your house?

Hi Nanci! Yes, I have a few pieces hanging around my house, but my goal is to get more displayed throughout the house. I laughingly told my husband that for the amount of time I spend on stitching every day, you could never tell by walking into my house!!! LOL Until you went into the sewing room . . . The name of the product on Amazon is: "CDM Supply Flex Tag, 50 Pack, Clear Flexible Key Tags, Reusable Key Labels, Ultra Thin Identifiers for Keys, Luggage, Inventory, Merchandise Labeling Tagging" And the link is a.co/d/alY86BQ

Thank You Cindy! Yes, I do really like the Nurge hoops, especially for small projects, or tight spaces like stitching on the plane. I still prefer q-snaps, but love Nurge hoops when q-snaps are not practical. Yes, they are very tight, but I think they would leave a hoop mark if you left the project in it for days and days :)
