My son told me that red and white mushrooms are the basis for Santa's red and white outfit, and weird stuff like that. There is a Joe Rogan video about it.
@2:55 You mention that the table is "just so handily a flat surface." For years I have referred to my husband (and myself, but not AS much) having "flat surfaceitis", a disorder which makes one fill any available flat surface with as much of the detritus of day to day life as possible until said surface has no room left. Anyone else suffer from this disorder?
It is not a disorder, we are just not all born organized (BO). Let me tell you - FlyLady has some very good advice on how to deal with it. (She is not a BO either, she KNOWS how it is and what to make of it.)
That's why I literally don't have a kitchen table and I eat on the floor criss cross apple sauce. I actually sold my table to someone who just got out of prison and was setting up their life 🤷
Flat surface = potential "hot spot", aka collecting mess. Just like a true hot spot, they will take over very quickly, if you don't deal with them while they are still small... (Learned from the FlyLady, and oh girl doesn't it describe things accurately!)
My studio includes painting, jewelry and sewing -- and it's a mess, with homeless items everywhere. It's so consoling to see someone of your expertise with a messy floor and shelves! I am inspired to start work on mine.
What a lovely transformation. I must admit that my favorite part of this post was getting to see all the amazing ways you can fix your beautiful hair. But that's just the grandma in me.
I need to gut my room and ditch a bunch of crap that I’ve been holding onto since I was a kid. I have too many things and I need more space. It’s nice to watch other people clean. Cleaning videos are always inspiring
When I watch programmes about people doing amazing things pertaining to any of my interests, I get inspired to do them, too, but I'm giving my own cleaning process more time. Unfortunately, it's taken me up until my 30's until I started FINISHING projects that didn't have a looming deadline breathing down my neck. Turns out, finishing my knit projects and freeing up the knitting needles has made me aware of how many duplicate sets of knitting needles I really own. I could probably donate enough for a couple of classrooms at this point. Oops. lol
So I just found you lol and I watch on my tv while I sew so I can't comment often but thanks for the video! I watched you, Noel and Bernadette all cleaning your sewing rooms and felt like maybe it was a sign lol. It's so much more motivating to work when your space is inviting and organized.
Flat surfaces, homeless items, projects that take over, things all over the floor... yep, got it all. It always makes me happy to see someone else's mess, because it means I'm not the only one it happens to. And it always makes me happy to see a room transformed into a more efficient, pleasing space. I fixated on your use of a silverware bin as mini shelves on your pegboard; I love finding different ways to use things that are easy to get or that I already have.
@@MorganDonner .. google is not my friend today, but I think this probably will make sense, instead of a door, pegboard is hung from the wheels.. each single track is spaced as needed for clearance .. the track can be fastened to the underside of a securely mounted shelf... so the pegboard will reach any height you choose .. hope the link works.. www.johnsonhardware.com/2800-single-rail-pocketsliding-door-hardware
@@MorganDonner I'm happy to say that I ended up having space to paint a complicated project with a friend without having to scramble to clear the area. 😁
Maybe you could try putting all of the materials you're using on a current project in like a basket or something, this way they're not all over the room and are easy to manage
Me too! We used to have carpet, but since most of the carpet on the second floor, where the sewing/guest room is located, needed replacing, we went with a lovely light "pine" laminate. Cleaning up the pins, threads, and cat barf is so much easier!
Wow! Good on you for doing all that work! It is so nice to take stock of one's things every so often. Hope this room functions much better for you now!
Thank you for sharing. We just moved into a bigger place and now I have my own craft room for the first time. You've given me some ideas on how to organize it.
Thank you so, so, SO much for posting this! I'm about to go through a similar process of sorting, culling, and finding homes for things, and it is such a relief to know that I'm not the only maker in the "hot mess" category, especially mid- or post-project. Thank you for this transparency and authenticity.
Just before watching this video I was sewing and realized my chair was no longer rolling across the floor as I moved. The wheels had become immobile from the scraps of material and thread stuck in them. I've been much quicker to clean up my floor underneath after each project. It took me 4 hours to clean the wheels out.
Lovely! My work process is much the same as yours. I have never been one to "clean as I go", but find much satisfaction in cleaning up at the end to start the next thing. Now I must go work in my room....
So satisfying! I would love to have my craft room look like this! At this point I will just be happy to get some better lighting in there. Putting things up on the wall makes it sooo much easier in so many ways.
love it..I cant wait to move to my new place next yr.I will have my own sewing room yeyyyyyy thank you so much for your great video and tour of your sewing room. Happy New Year.
Every time I sew I've got the same "picture" on the floor)))) Thank you very much, now I can breathe easily, because I see that it's normal))) sorry for my poor English))))
There's nothing so satisfying as getting organized and you have done a nice job. I like the new storage unit without doors that just slow a person down. In general I follow the old adage about form following function You have made a very cheerful sewing room and I like your style.
Holy crow, seeing your after-project chaos made me feel so much better, lol! I sew in my dining room, and the "stuff" on the ground gets old fast. My daughter just moved out and I'm taking over her room for my sewing area- I am taking BIG notes from you on how to organize! I am heading off to the hardware store for pegboards! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much for your transparency with your work space! I am working on turning my living room/office/entry space/kitchen into a general all-purpose home economy zone, banishing my offspring and all of their paraphernalia to their bedrooms and basement. My sewing things have no proper space currently, unless EVERYWHERE counts, because I have been unsure where I am comfortable working. I'm a vagrant in my own home. And the pegboard is the best. Thank you so much for your great ideas!!
I loved that you showed us your studio. I rarely let anyone in my studio because of the clutter. It was nice to see I am not alone in the challenge of keeping a studio picked up. Thanks for a great video.
Loved, loved your video! My sewing room is in a dreadful state! But, you have inspired me! I am moving my entire sewing room to another room of the house, and am going to borrow some of your ideas, like the peg board! Need one of those!! Thanks again, for another useful and entertaining video!
Loved this! My sewing room has "grown", but needs to be a guest room, TOO, by Christmas (it's now February). The pegboard is the next thing to add. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Morgan did you come into my home and describe it for the internet? The studio space in my home is badly afflicted with "no permanent home" disease and so every time I do a project it's like a bomb of notions went off. I feel like it's so hard to stay organized unless you go to professional studio levels of organization and clean up requirements. Blech. Thank you for being so open about this problem! Also, yay new projects that we can see coming up! :)
I love this video. It is the exact process I did with my studio (aka sewing room). One thing I did was label everything so the space it was assigned was the item's forever home - so easy to pick up. My pegboard I painted - plus I added wire baskets on it to hold some things that didn't fit nicely on a hook. I also put big plastic cup that says PAPER SCISSORS - so all scissors (that are not marked with a little green stripe meaning paper - go in the cup. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Nothing better than overhauling a room! I do my tiny bed room about once every 3 months when I want to just change up the look, I love pastels and black so I tend to switch between those. 😆
This video is so satisfying and inspiring. Specifically makes me want to work on my UFOs so my sewing spaces/storage can be more compact and organized.
Thank you for this. The not insta-perfect before pictures make me feel so much better about the cacophony of a creative space. I don't have a dedicated work space. Choosing to do multiday projects is carefully planned and i'll have things spread over half my apartment (yay for small space - said no one ever). Plus wanting to have pretty things & inspirationy things in the work space, too. Anyways, your video is a nice reminder that its just part of creative spaces.
Welp, this must be the theme of 2019 -- clean up and reorganize. I am six months into cleaning my sewing room. Yesterday, briefly, I saw my cutting table. Then it got swallowed up again. In the mean time, I organize things by accident. Got a new shelf and accidentally tidied the pantry. Got some can rollers, and accidentally tidied a cupboard. Did a load of towels and accidentally tidied the shelf they go on. I envy your ability to "just get on with it." Have you considered bottling that ability and selling it?
I'm going to be cleaning out my own room tomorrow to better include my sewing supplies as I dont have anywhere else for them at the moment and this is a great video to watch before I do so. (along with the fabric closet one as im going to have to down size my own fabric collection) It makes as a great way to make em excited to reclaim my craft space.
Hi. I am so happy I found your channel. I have a background in apparel and love how specific your channel is. I do a little bit of sewing and I want to check out more of your braiding videos. I have been working on giving my craft room a makeover for several months now and I still haven't figured out what to do with my miscellaneous pile. Thanks for sharing your process. 😊
What an improvement!!! So much easier to concentrate on what you are saying thsn being distracted by the clutter!!! Bravo!!! Hint: you may want to consider another *towel bar* to store your ribbon /trim on (we used dowels on a wall in a florist I worked at).
What a wonderful transformation. Such a fresh creative space. I bet you feel better with the changes. Seeing your polka dot pin board at the end has made me reconsider having one. I have always thought that they are so ugly. but not any more.
This is so beautiful! I love the after, but also how relatable the before is 😄 I should really do something similar.. messes just kinda accumulate again and again!
gorgeous! only thing i would change as you seem to have a handyman on call, hehehe is for him to drill/hammer a couple of nails into the wall literally right below where the thread hanger is now, so that you can take the thread hanger off the board and hang onto the nails or whatever you decide on. taking that thread hanger off the board would free up the other half, making many more things able to be easily reached once up on the board than in draws, especially if used all the time! i'd actually attach it to the side of the new cabinets next to it, even if its too wide, it would free up the rest of that board!
I constantly have sewing piles...the to start pile, the various stages of completion pile, the almost done but this one thing pile, and the mending pile....then on the other side of the room is the situation with Yarn. Lol. I gave up a long time ago and exist in a wonderful state of organized chaos!
You must live close to an Ikea store! I really feel that pain of things not having an actual "home" and am amazed that you were able to know exactly how much space you needed on your new furniture to house your things! I can't seem to make my brain do that!
I‘m going to move soon (in a much smaller place at that), so my whole life is about sorting, selling/giving away, cleaning and renovating. It’s exhausting, but also oddly satisfying. It really forces me to decide, piece by piece, what is an essential possession for me and what isn’t. I‘ve gotten rid of so much stuff, I just couldn’t let go off before...all that clutter, accumulated over 10+ years. Even not going to be able to do any sewing for at least 6 months or so is oddly exciting. Because it means, I‘ll finally get around to exploring things like embroidery and carving...which I long wanted to do and which requires less time and space than garment making. And I‘m already looking forward to the excitement of being able to start again, at some point 😄
As I've been working on organizing my sewing stuff I decided to look at things as if I'm moving to a smaller space and trying to let go of things. It's difficult but very rewarding.
I'm an organization freak. It's a sickness really needing the most efficient use of a space and everything a place. It is truly a joy to need some item walk directly to the cupboard or drawer and find it exactly where it ought to be. Works quite well if I don't work on any sort of project and quite remarkable really how quickly chaos takes over with use. And will stay that way for months if not years until another irresistible impulse to improve organization making a firm commitment to myself I will not let this all go to halibut in a handbasket again. HA!
Thank you for this!! I’m in the middle of organizing my craft room and are having problems 😂 but I’m definitely gonna try your method with sorting into piles and then putting them where they should go! 💖
my flat is always messy
so best thing to do? ignore it and watch someone on the internet clean up their mess :)
lol i agree! 😂
I was just about to say the same thing XD
I always watch these videos in hopes of culling some kind of divine inspiration to suddenly CLEAN EVERYTHING. But, it never works.😂
100% facts!
Me too!!!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
I too am obsessed with mushrooms. My aesthetic is “Witch Cabin in the Enchanted Forest” to sum it all up
So, the aesthetic that we now know is called cotagecore
@@angelsanchez6028 Actually, witchcore is a thing.
@@Sadimal there's an aesthetic for everything now is it...?

What a lovely transformation. I must admit that my favorite part of this post was getting to see all the amazing ways you can fix your beautiful hair. But that's just the grandma in me.
“Collection of aesthetically pleasing things” speaks to me on a level I didn’t know existed.
I need to gut my room and ditch a bunch of crap that I’ve been holding onto since I was a kid. I have too many things and I need more space. It’s nice to watch other people clean. Cleaning videos are always inspiring
I now call my "random things I bought that I like to have" pile my "it sparks joy in me" Pile lol.
if you get another pegboard to go underneath that one,then put little baskets you can then put your pincushions and such there.
Oh how I wish I had a sewing room like yours!! So much light! 😍That is the dream!
Watching cleaning videos makes me itch to clean my own room, guess it's time for a spring cleaning of my own

I'm an organization freak. It's a sickness really needing the most efficient use of a space and everything a place. It is truly a joy to need some item walk directly to the cupboard or drawer and find it exactly where it ought to be.
Works quite well if I don't work on any sort of project and quite remarkable really how quickly chaos takes over with use. And will stay that way for months if not years until another irresistible impulse to improve organization making a firm commitment to myself I will not let this all go to halibut in a handbasket again.
HA!
Also your theme music is now always in my head 😂
Runa Brown Same! Im whistling it at work! 🙃
I love this! And it's given me some ideas for my own room
Nice! It seems that so many crafters and quilters verge on the clutter/hoarding line. I guess everyone has their own comfort zone.
We have the same cutting table! You are inspiring me to get my room decluttered!
Thank you for this!! I’m in the middle of organizing my craft room and are having problems 😂 but I’m definitely gonna try your method with sorting into piles and then putting them where they should go! 💖
I love your personality, I am subscribing!
