Pegboard keeps items off the floor, in sight, and within reach. The board is sold in large sheets; have it cut to size, or use a circular saw or jigsaw. Place furring strips (thin pieces of wood) between the board and wall, so you'll have room for the backs of hooks.
Great idea Martha.
I have been rather tired this week. Although I got 9.5 hours of sleep yesterday, my mood was no better, and my energy levels were horrible. I am working out, and I know this is not PMS. So, what is it? My conclusion: I want to sew. I don't want to clean or do laundry. I don't want to go out with the kids and play. Nope all I want to do is sew. It is then, that I shut down, and refuse to be productive because I want to be selfish. Seriously, sewing is addictive. I always find when I start a sewing project, I get like this. I just want to finish it. Last night in bed, I thought about it. I have to learn to multitask my sewing. It should not be a problem because I multitask all day long. I clean and think about what is for dinner. I make beds, and put a load of wash in at the same time. I fold laundry and iron. So why can't I clean and sew at the same time? Once, I cut out a pattern, and it is sitting on my table, I find myself drawn to my sewing room all the time. I leave the dishes in the sink, the vacuum parked in the kitchen, and everything is ignored. Taking the car to the dealership is dropped, and everything else important, and I mean really important is just ignored. Bad, addictive behavior, and I have to change it. I think that is why I go weeks without sewing. Guilt overcomes me when I sew. I cannot seriously consider sewing when I know it is time to feed the kids. Yes I do. That is when I start biting at my nails, and I know the feeling that is about to take over this body. Sounds incredibly silly doesn't it? So, today I am about to make the first change, and although I have pants cut out for Olivia, I will not sew until my dishes are washed, and I have done something fun with the kids. Let's see if it works.
