You might “remember me writing”:http://karissacove.com/journal/archives/2006/02/01/rearranging about how I was overhauling and organizing my messy studio — I spend so much time up here, and being in all the clutter and confusion was really wearing on my psyche.

After a week of Sundays*, here’s the end result:

Most of the work was sorting through all my notions and old fabric scraps and deciding what to keep or toss. I’m sure all you crafty ladies know what it’s like to hang onto every clasp and clip and just about every other little odd + end, because “you never know when it could come in handy!” That was my dilemma x 100! Stuff Overload!

But once I tossed a bunch of stuff, and organized what was left, the space is just so much more usable and functional — in fact, now it’s my favourite room in the house!

* It didn’t actually take me a month to complete my studio, but by the end of it, it sure felt that long!
