Organization Challenge

My sewing thread drawer is all organized by color.

It lasted almost a year last time I did this and if I had not found extra thread in Mom's stuff, it would have been OK.

I think I should have most colors of what I need and if I don't I need to improvise.

So, what to work on this week?

My flat surfaces around my desk and sewing machine are bothering me.

I have too much stuff around me.

Flat surfaces seem to be magnets for "stuff"

My desk seems to have exploded.

Time to figure out where everything should go.

I know I have too many pens and pencils .... 

Sewing machine has bins to hold stuff while I'm sewing.

Time to empty them and figure out if there is a better way. 

The embroidery machine and oils and threads are very useful, but is there a better way to handle them all?

Let us know what you are working on this week.
