Triptych and Organizing Crafts

.

I finished my triptych, this is the left side

and this is the center. I've been organizing my craft stuff and am decluttering again. I decided to take the approach of what do I use the most and am I most into which for me is cross-stitch. I gave it the prime storage space and am working my way down the list of things. Crochet was my second best craft. I'm letting go of those things that I'm not really into anymore or know I'm never going to do. Quilting in one of those areas. I might do a small quilt project, but I don't want to give a lot of storage space to something that is not a priority to me. I'm trying to get myself to let go of a lot of the fabric I have. I need to decide where I want to keep it and then only keep what fits. Scrapbooking is another area that I really don't enjoy anymore and I need to weed out a lot of scrapbook stuff like stickers, it's just taking up too much room.

Hi Linda!!

How beautiful! I love the simple Amish farm scene, so pretty!

I need to clean out my craft closet . . . again. It seems like there are just some things I will never get around to doing. I have a cross-stitch project that I started 11 years ago, when my granddaughter was in the hospital. It is still in my sewing basket, waiting for my attention. I don't think I will ever get it done. I have another cross-stitch of Santa, that I have had for too many years to count... :0) It will most likely not get finished either. I need to give them to someone who would really enjoy them!!

Kudos to you for working on organizing!

Hugs,
Barb

Beautiful needle work! So you are cleaning out craft things. I love the saying - "You never know what you have ..... until you clean out your craft room!" That applies to all of us. I am sorting through unfinished projects with the goal of finishing them. The result is potholders and sachets made for Christmas gifts.

This kind of cleaning out is what we all need to do. Good luck with giving up fabric. I can't do that! I hope all is well with you.
