What's is This Word...Organization?

Are you organized to perfection?   I try...honestly, I do.   If you are one of those super organized quilters you might not want to even read this.

Every year in January,  I start out the New Year with the very best intentions, ideas, plans & committments and 2012 was no exception.

I made my list of UFO's and tacked it to my display board so I'd see it everyday and told myself I could finish one a month.....(yeah..sure!...lol)  Actually, to give myself some much deserved kudos, 2 of the small quilt projects did get finished and were sold in my Etsy Shop and both of them were OLD projects.


Seems I'm spending too much time every day trying to be organized, when I'm really not.  Sigh.........
My furry friends love to supervise in my sewing room,




so I like to keep my supplies, fabrics, etc., in closed plastic tubs......like this one.  Great for organizing!  Right?

and the smaller plastic shoebox size ones too......

I even started labeling them with the contents..........(as she pats herself on the back again...pat...pat...pat) nothing fancy, just grab a scrap of paper & Sharpie pen.

In case you've forgot what this post is about.......I'll remind you - ORGANIZATION!
Regardless of my best laid out plans, it doesn't always work out.  Remember that list of UFO's and W.I.P.s I talked about??

Well, take a look at it.

Now I can't get the lid on this one!  DRATS!   I either need to sew faster or get a bigger plastic tub......

What do you think??    How do you stay organized with your sewing stuff??
