nesting?????

After writing this post on Sunday over on BurdaStyle i got out of bed with a mission.  To clean my sewing room! 
At 8:30am it looked like this:

and by 7pm it looked like this:

Yes i was in there for that long  and although it may not look like i did much it was a big job.  I whittled down my book collection, making a pile for Ebay and transfered the rest to one bookshelf.  The other bookshelf now hold my fabric stash, if you can call it that.  I do have 3 large plastic boxes sat on top of the wardrobe full of bit's and pieces too though.  Then the other shelves at the end hold boxes filled with supplies such as trims, elastic, paints and stationery.  The filing cabinet hold my commercial patterns and the small suitcase is full of scraps i  can't bear to part with, they will and do get used though.  I sorted through all those pink boxes, finding self covering buttons i need to finish the baby jacket as well as other stuff i didn't realise i had.  I sorted through my embroidery threads and wound them all onto cards, my yarn stash that fills 2 large plastic tubs, my knitting needles (no need to buy that knit picks dp set i thought i needed, i have most sizes i need!),  magazines, paperwork, loose patterns printed from the net and all those little bowls and tubs of 'stuff' on my sewing table.  I filled a moving box with rubbish!
It feels so much nicer in there and i feel inspired to create, especially now that i know what i have in there, i think i have enough stuff to keep me going for at least a year and plan to limit what i do bring into the room to what i need for specific projects if i don't have it already.  I think i could knit about 8 pairs of socks, a cardigan, many hats, mitts and scarves, and various other knitted items with what i have as well as using the left over balls of yarn on other projects (i have ideas!).  The 2 tubs of fabric bits and pieces can be made into things for myself and my family and items to sell.  The notions and trims can be used on said projects and i can start using my craft books more instead of them sitting on the shelf looking pretty.
Of course i have all these grand plans and ideas but since baby is due this week i doubt i will have the required time needed to fulfill them all.  But, i'll have a sketchbook, pencils and lots of time sitting on my bum to be able to write and draw my ideas down for when i DO have the time.
There are still a few things i'd like to get to help with storage, a pegboard so i can get all the bits off my desk, a thread spool holder (any ideas where to get one?) and some storage pockets to hang from a pole across the window.

At least my sewing room is clean.  I can't say the same for the rest of the house though :/
