The Move is Complete!
December 31, 2007
FINALLY!
We have moved all of my jewelry-making supplies, books, magazines and assorted “stuff” into my son’s old bedroom, and moved all of his things into his “new” room.
I still have some organizing to do, but there’s room to spread out and I can find things again.
Until my workbench is done, I’ll have to put up with the card table I’ve been using, but it’s worked for this long, so I think I’ll manage. 
A few tips for organizing that I used when I moved:
- Beading magazines in those plastic upright organizers – I have mine separated by magazine title.
- An old entertainment center is perfect for organizing books, magazines, tools, and other supplies. I’ve grouped my tools and supplies together – all metal-smithing tools on one shelf, jump ringer and flex shaft on another – so I can find things quickly depending on what I’m working on at the time.
- A plastic container with three drawers is perfect for supplies – I put some painting and scrapping supplies in one drawer, sewing supplies in another.
- PURGE and donate or toss!!! I spent hours going through old boxes of materials that I bought when I started making jewelry and got rid of the things I won’t use. Goodwill got bags of old beads, base metal head pins, and ribbon. I know someone can use them!!!
Now to start working on some jewelry!
