More Jewelry (dis)Organization

Lots of change going on around here, including a completely different location for my office/studio/creativity lab! My dear parents came to visit over the weekend and my Super Dad put his warehousing skills and strong back to good use moving me out of one room and into another. It's time for our son to have his own room and my previous office was the best option...sigh.

You may remember this picture from a previous post I wrote about my (dis)organization. Well, then you'll understand how painful it has been for me to move! Yes, I'm extremely grateful to have a room in my home where I can work, but that also means I'm confronted with oodles of things that need to be sorted, stored, organized, stashed, or shared. It's liberating to move into a new space but overwhelming at the same time.

Here's a picture of how it looks now. So organized! I'm almost afraid to mess it up. I'm implementing a new scheme to spend the last ten minutes of any work time putting away all of the stuff that I've dragged out. A girl can dream, right? Here are a few videos about beading organizers and tools:


Now, if we could just get the little man to sleep in his new room, I might have enough energy to keep my office/studio/creativity lab in order!
