It really does. I keep my embroidery threads and floss in bags that are fitted into a ring note book. I keep colors divided with a list of the color numbers in the bag they are in. I can easily find what color I need that way.

I suppose just letting your eyes fly over this colourful collection makes your creativity happy and lets your inspiration flow. <br /><br />I'm glad to hear your husband is doing well and that you were able to do some necessary household and cleaning work. Cleaning my work desk is one of the tasks I really fear - but whenever I don't remember the colour of my table top anymore (hmmmm... makes me wonder... eh... *pant*... wait... oh, my... now I got it... it's... ehm... white!!! *phewey*) I know it's time again to face my nemesis. And despite all the time this takes I fear the most what's happening after the work is done: Whenever I'm in need of a certain piece I remember so well where it has been... but not where I put it now being totally convinced that the new place would be the perfect one to have it right at hand whenever needed. *sigh* I wish I was as organized as you! ;O)<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944355755953333971.post-45245628719738787732021-06-22T23:11:26.899+02:002021-06-22T23:11:26.899+02:00That’s an impressive collection of beads and trink...That’s an impressive collection of beads and trinkets Megan!! I love how you have arranged them according to colour. I am a fan of colour too, and I’m always telling people ‘colour is your friend’. Great to hear Henning is doing well and that you are taking the time to tidy. My craft room is always a mess, but periodically I have to take the time to tidy. Otherwise I think the disorganisation really starts to suck the creative urge.

Lucky me, my spousal unit is a carpenter by upbringing (and nature), so the studio has evolved into floor-to-ceiling shelves for yarn, fabric, beads, doll stuff, lace, you name it. And I'm with you--color makes me happy too!

I can imagine what a time consuming job it was. I sort my beads according to the material they're made of, glass, plastic, wood, gold and silver metals and more or less find the ones I need quite easily. I hoard a huge collection mostly donated by friends. I hope one day (smile) I'll store them the way you did.<br />Great to know your husband is on the mend. <br />I read your previous posts. Annabelle's box is stunning. I also love your adorable puppy.<br />Hugs, DroraDrora's minimundohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121137317566476061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944355755953333971.post-42707727196234220982021-06-21T19:19:40.477+02:002021-06-21T19:19:40.477+02:00Oooooh my goodness, Megan, what a huge amount of b...Oooooh my goodness, Megan, what a huge amount of beads, and so many different sorts and sizes, woooow!! Good to know for you: I've become very cheerful seeing all of these gorgeous beads, and in so many colors of the rainbow!!<br />Yes, I know this sort of cleaning up (for me:the mess), sorting out things and putting them back into my piled up stash, doing all this in order to get some inspiration. <br />God to read that Henning's recovery is going well and you both are outdoors doing sportive activities. Odd for me to read it's winter in your part of the world, as I know very well, but still. Here, in The Netherlands, it has been quite hot, today it's a very cool day which I like more: no hayfever because of less pollen after a good night of rain. Yippeeee, because after being indoors for two weeks, today I was able to go outdoors and bike again, oh, how much I loved to get some fresh air :).<br />Good from you to stay calm and doing some housekeeping, you'll see: new inspiration and plans will come whenever it's the time for it, think and stay positive, dear Megan!! <br />Take care for the both of you, stay well.<br />Warm hug, IlonaIlonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325745983964748534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944355755953333971.post-72195008973055756962021-06-21T16:11:23.449+02:002021-06-21T16:11:23.449+02:00Wow Megan, what a great collection!

After doing all that sorting and clean up work, if you are still feeling like you are in a bit of a creative slump, you are more than welcome to come here to Canada and organize my craft room for me. You'll have to leave breadcrumbs when you enter just so you can find your way out again!

I spent a whole day recently colour sorting my huge box of feathers and bagging them up in colourways so that they would fit neatly into a much, much smaller box. I like the calming effect that doing something useful but easy promotes. I love it when I get new silk ribbons and have to allocate them to my silk ribbon boxes, all carefully sorted by colour. It's a balm for the soul.

I do have odds and ends, but I organize them by material – bits of wood, metal, beads, fabrics, electrical, etc. So far I have a box for each, but soon, I’ll either have to purge or add boxes.

Organizing does require a lot of creativeness so you're in no slump. Today is our first day of summer, so I am supposing it may be your first day of winter.

Cosa que lo veo imprescindible pues es un ahorro de tiempo increíble. Seguro que cuando Henning esté totalmente recuperado volverás de lleno a tus trabajos creativos. Disfruta de tus paseo, cuidaros.
