What a pity I didn't take Before and After photos! I have spent the afternoon in my sewing room. I can now use the table (though there's still stuff on it, it's piled neatly at one end) and the only bags on the floor (except the two that will go to the op shop tomorrow) are the ones in the baskets under the table. Most of the books have gone back to the bookshelf and the few that haven't are in a neat pile on one of the cupboards.
I have 3 projects lined up, and have even put away all the threads except the ones I will be using. I feel an enormous sense of achievement.
Mind you, the tidy space will only last until I start the first project and I am sure I will have problems in the future finding some of the stuff I have put away so carefully.

Angels and an organised workspace
Designing Women had their Christmas party on Saturday. Venue was Helen B's new house in Wembley - fabulous, especially the art on the walls.
We made our angel swap. This is the collection laid out on a table - I hope I got it all.
Kevin and I got a Christmas present from the government last week - $2100 for the two of us, being holders of the Seniors Health Card. The government says SPEND, SPEND so we did - a bit of it.
I have wanted shelves in the laundry almost since we moved into this house. The laundry is very large and was obviously designed to be a sewing room for someone who did not have all the stash I have, or do the the multi media stuff that I do. There is a L-shaped bench that runs under a large window and then along a blank wall.
No longer blank. We bought an Elfa hanging system yesterday and installed it today. We had to go back to the store to exchange components - the shelves I chose were too wide - but I am very happy with the finished setup.
I wish I had taken a photo of the bench before I cleared it. Imagine a pile of shopping bags on the left, and assorted piles of stuff on the right, with the embellisher surrounded. How long will this present neatness prevail?
Today I have also decorated the (fake) Christmas tree and put out the various Christmas decorations all over the house. I admit to being a bit surprised at how much hand made stuff I have (and how old some of it is). I was planning to make a lace Nativity scene which will probably not be done this year. At least I made a couple of lace snowflakes - see below.
