Organised for 2014

Fresh New Year. I am going to be more organised this year. There it is in black and white, so it must be true. The metamorphosis has already begun… Here is the overhaul so far …

My acrylic yarn stash – thanks to my mum for giving me a yarn winder for Christmas!

Before…

After…

My sewing threads and bobbins – I found a great sewing box in Oxfam today. It fitted all my sewing things in.

My new concertina sewing box

I am so excited – I can see all my things in one glance. Hmm, that means I have to start on my mending pile though, no excuses now.

All my sewing bits and bobs – neat and tidy

I am going to pimp it up (notice the missing handle) but have started by simply sticking a magnetic strip to the inside to attach my metal bobbins to.

Notice the bobbins stuck onto the magnetic strip on the side of the box

My computder desktop – I spent hours and hours sorting out last year’s photos over the Christmas break and have diligently filed them away for easy access in the future. I chose a calm, plain background for my neat new look. Loving it.

I am feeling proud of myself and slightly liberated already, and it is only 10 January. I wonder how I will feel later in the year when I have put ‘organisation’ into my daily life. I have rediscovered the happyhousewife blog posts – organized-in-365 – and am determined to do one thing a day towards being uber-organised.
