This is my mom's ex-depression room. We've made serious progress with each declutter pass, but it still needs help. Her craft supplies have gotten a little messy, so today I want to help her do a quick round of decluttering to get her better organized. But because all of these supplies are so tiny, it makes for stressful, tedious work. Today my goal is to help her move through the During and move closer to having that dream sewing room shes always wanted.

Thank you all for following along on this 3rd pass of decluttering. If you're in the midst of your own journey, just know that this process takes time and that length of time will be different for everyone. As long as you never quit on yourself, you will keep making progress and get the "after" you dream of. Hope you guys have had a great weekend so far! Lastly, the book launch is getting closer!!!

April, please tell your mom not to be embarrassed about her depression room - for she is most certainly not alone!!! So many of us can relate to how that happens - even if we all have different reasons! Also, she is our hero for having the courage to put it on the internet so that we can all be inspired and for that we are all forever grateful!!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

I will tell her!

[@saritarossi3939]

Your mother is actually one of those real crafters who does her crafts. She's doing great.

[@patarmstrong2304]

You should have that large floral piece matted and framed for her room for her! It’s beautiful!

[@Nemrac-kn8jm]

Yes. Please don't cut it up!

[@m.mccolgan2250]

I would like add my words of encouragement to the others I’m seeing in the comments section: your Mom should know that MANY OF US have creative spaces that look similar, if not WORSE, than her “former depression room”! Not only is she brave to take us along on her journey, she’s SUPER SMART for allowing help from someone who specializes in organizing! GO MOM❣️

[@sarahkinsey5434]

The craft rooms seems to also be the catch all room

[@sbenefield76]

It's almost a lost cause to explain to someone that doesn't watch KZbin why I choose KZbin over shows and movies or why I feel "connection" to "my" channels...it has been a joy and privilege to watch your mom's journey from camera shy to an empowered space maker (even though she still has doubts and struggles). I love witnessing real life and growth and all the little things (like self doubt and pets) that connect us. Most people are on some kind of growth journey, but we don't all have a camera to share with the world or a coach (April) to help us recognize positive truths and learn to be gentle with ourselves. Thank you to you both for sharing. ❤

[@dok597]

One of my favorite things about your videos is how gentle you are in the whole decluttering process. Thank you for your energy 🩷

[@amxranthine]

This series has helped my mother work through her depression craft room

[@alisonsmith7162]

Im so glad that you still have your mum, to go thru all this stuff with her. My mum was a seamstress and she taught me lots of things, but so much of her skills have died with her. Its always a bit teary to do sewing these days, andvill never be as good, but its lovely to realise that so much of who i am, and what im good at is because of hanging out with her as she made so many clothes for us over the years. Dad died a year ago today, so am somewhat sooky in this comment. So glad you can help your mum. Luv from Australia.

[@shannonw6604]

Such an amazing difference. In the very first episode your parents were stifled under all those belongings. Now their home is brighter, energetic and their items are purposeful and support their happy lives! The ongoing effects of all the effort are definitely worthwhile!

[@loriharris1215]

We all have a button tin 😊 funny how the simplest things are so common amongst us all

[@donnahilton8924]

I (age 71) have fond memories of my Mom's & Nana's button tins!

[@GardenerPhyl]

Your Mom is so relatable to me. I also have a room for sewing projects, exercise AND seed starting. Although my seed starting situation is sorted out, my project stuff is in complete disarray, also making it harder to exercise. For the past few months I’ve been questioning whether being a quilter is a fantasy, however after watching this video I realize that I just need to declutter and reorganise my space. By the way, the two sewing machine dilemma is real! 😂

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

You need A LOT of space for quilting. I bet you’ll feel great after delcuttering and hopefully will find that fire to craft more.

[@scoutc315]

I think the former depression room needs a new name. Maybe the Happiness Room? I love seeing the transition from the 1st round of decluttering where you were in charge to now where she’s running a lot of it and you’re there to assist as needed. ❤

[@tammycope3145]

Wow! Mom is still rocking this!!!a nice work!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

💛💛💛💛

[@karenf8470]

Thanks for this extended series -- a realistic picture of what's involved in making a space usable every step of the way, and over time. Each result was a success which she and you simply built upon during the next pass together. Great work on mom's part between times too. Love this series. "... so much happiness has come out of this room, it's just been incredible." Says it all.

[@wendyreekes9563]

I am so proud of your mom!!! I tried so hard to get my mom to let go of things so she could have the house she wanted - but we would get into epic fights over saving the most ridiculous things! I know it comes from growing up in the Depression-but so frustrating. You mom ROCKS

[@lorirafferty7424]

I loved watching you and your mom declutter her home. I loved seeing her get comfortable being on camera little by little. I am a schnauzer mom also and her schnauzer stuffed animal was adorable !

[@eyrunsigrunardottir6977]

I kind of liked the blue walls but must admit that the room looks much brighter and bigger after you painted it. And better of course now that you have decluttered and organized so much!

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Oh don't get me wrong, I love a dark blue (moody room) all over the walls and ceilings :) But agreed, for this space it just feels so much lighter and happier. (But you can bet in my home I will go all out in a moody room one day)

[@moniquefuselier7711]

Your Mom kicked butt! So many tedious decisions to make and she was a champ!

[@KristiBranstetter]

The ex depression room is getting better with each pass! Good job! 😊

[@jackandlill]

It's the "during" that i'm afraid of...I can't count on my energy level staying the same & if I get to the "during" & run out of steam - I find I'm less motivated to begin again bcse the mess is worse! I have a depression room as well & you & your mom really do inspire me April - I think I feel the movement towards just doing what I can at a time to get to where your mom has gotten!! Thanks to you both! 😘😘

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

The During is the hardest part! It's so easy to feel like you aren't making progress, but little by little you will get there! You got this!

[@Ragt0p]

I would also suggest looking into Dana K. White’s approach. It doesn’t require pulling things out, so a project never gets worse during the process

[@jackandlill]

Thank you! I will look into that! And of course will get April's book when it comes out!! @@Ragt0p

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

We will focus a lot on the During :)

[@alisonsmith7162]

Dana k White of A Slob Comes Clean has a no mess deckutter process, which should alleviate this fear.

[@Raxx777]

so great that your mom has such a nice organized space to create it- looks great !!!

[@jocropley]

I like how respectful you are with your mom and her items .

[@ilanapeters4239]

I know a lot of libraries have sewing machines and various crafting things, they may even have classes for your mom to learn the digital side of it. Have a look, talk to a librarian in her area, and see what's available :)

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

That's a great idea! I'm sure she'd love the machine after she gets over the learning curve.

[@ilanapeters4239]

Also I reread my comment and maybe it sounds like I'm suggesting your mom get rid of her sewing machines but NO, I was talking about the automatic? one that she mentioned not knowing how to use. She clearly enjoys what she has, but if she's looking at branching out, the library may be a great resource.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

:) oh don't worry, that's what I thought you meant :)

[@Jasmine-in-my-mind]

@@SpaceMakerMethod I had the same serger dilemma and I have to say, I'm with your mom. I used mine a few times, got tired of the tedious threading process, and decided to put it away and instead plan to get one with the automatic threader. BUT I have not purchased it yet because I want to make sure I will actually use it often enough to justify the price. The automatic ones are much more expensive than the basic models!

[@ShamelesslyCreative]

Oh I love this idea. I got rid of my sewing machines and only once in awhile do I have a few projects where I think why did I get rid of it? But if I plan ahead I could totally get my projects in order and borrow one from the library.

[@denisebunker6674]

Wow good job. My last pass I made the decision to only buy craft stuff for specific projects. And I must touch each projects every 6 months. I have found if I don’t work on a project in 6 month I probably not going to. This has help me not buying more stuff. 😊

[@wendyhummel9600]

Your mom is so talented!

[@jennyjenkins877]

Wow, you both were so focused and worked really well. I think it's graduated to a hobby room because it's so functional to create and work out now.

[@tngirlz4622]

Please tell your Mom there’s nothing to be ashamed of - so many are in the same boat! We appreciate seeing someone else work through it in a realistic way, instead of hauling it all off to storage like they do on some home makeover shows! You’ve motivate me - I’m going to go clean out and craft supplies right now!😊

[@audreybeaudry5991]

It is great that your are getting to do a 3rd pass through with your Mom. I know the display holder for the thread is cute, but they really need to be in a box. Having them exposed to the sun/light has them become brittle faster. Also they get dusty and then the dust is in your sewing machine which is a new set of problems.

[@lauramitchell6725]

I love having mine in a shallow set of drawers for all of the reasons that you said in addition to the fact that it’s so easy to make a selection!🙌🏻

[@zoogott]

I love watching you and your mom organize. ❤

[@scholargrrl]

Your Mom is doing an amazing job! It's so realistic watching her declitter and reorganize and respect herself and her boundaries to make sure she doesn't burn herself out and keeps it fun and encouraging. Thank her for letting us see her progress and process and the encouragement she gives us all. And don't worry about the mics, we can hear y'all just fine. 😊

[@janetboette7013]

Great job, Mom! I love my scrapbox unit! I recently made an area for all my storage containers, bins etc that are empty so I can shop there rather than buy duplicates. Addiction to nifty storage containers is just as real as too much crafting stuff!

[@sherryhudson9075]

Tell your mom to save that serger and learn to use it. It’s a fantastic machine. I’m 73 and you can literally thread your serger in about 2 minutes once you learn how to……… she’s a smart lady, a nurse, she can do it ❤

[@Kate.West.]

Ooooo yes a long desk with both of the machines out at the same time. And the cotton reals mounted on the wall over the desk … and maybe some shelves under the desk to but the baskets with the current projects. Your mum is so lovely!🥰

[@melissabarnes2374]

Bless you and your sweet mom. I love it.

I love you April and your channel too.. my favorites of all your videos are you helping your parents declutter. Love your mom. Tell her thank you for agreeing to be on camera and being willing to share her decluttering journey. She is a rock star 🌟!!! And so are you❤! I am a 74 year old mother of four and I find your videos so inspiring, so thank you❤

[@gurubhaikhalsa9337]

Thanks for the inspiration. I have so much stuff, but starting with one step in the journey of 1000 miles is the only way to get there.

[@crystalkissoon4514]

I just love your mom lol. I also love how that room went from a place of death to one of creation.

[@josephdaly2015]

I have to ask ‘Did you peak into the closet?’ Is she hiding loads in there and we all have to wait for another series to see what’s in there? 😂😂😂 Your mam is doing great keeping this room. Isn’t it amazing when you get used to less your tolerance when more arrives drives you crazy. I’d laughed when the dog ran in and then out to your room April 🤣 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪💐🙏🦮

[@tessaeaton2442]

I was so excited to see you post a video, got a cup of coffee and settled down to watch you, I'm going up to my craft room to do my first pass. It made want to start, thanks April xx

[@Brigitte_Cantin]

I love your mum 😂 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😻😻💖💖💖💖💖

[@ShamelesslyCreative]

I have absolutely loved this series. It has been a joy to watch the progress and see the joy your mom has taken on over the course of the journey. It seems like she has become happier and more lively! I so wish you would have taken the serger out of the cardboard box for her though so on a whim she could try it? (removing obstacles or layers to start) I think sometimes as we age learning to use any new-to-you thing is more daunting and it is just easier to stick with what you know and already like( takes less time and energy to just use the one you know) Possibly just make trying the other machines their own little project to tackle on a weekend or set a month to learn it? maybe put another small table in the corner to have it set up so her other one is still ready: but she can learn new ones in small spurts then? learning to thread it and use it on some scraps may help transitioning to the other machines easier? Same with the computer one. And she can then figure out if she even likes either of the others over her singer? and if she doesnt maybe she can sell those to help pay for the automatic she talked about or just declutter them eventually if they aren't useful to her. but hopefully she will enjoy them after practicing with them. But seriously you both totally made the whole house easier to use and more full of joy.

[@c.jakubowski6549]

Your mom’s little dog reminded me of the time I was visiting with my mother at my Nana’s house. Mama came from Dalton, Ga, I came from Cary, NC and my Nana lived in between. My mother brought her precious little IG, Georgio. He quietly went to the bedside table where I had slept the night before and made some very good impressions in my brand new and very costly mouth guard. I was furious but what can ya do. I just rinsed it off and used it for many year, after. The little tooth imprints were a nightly reminder. Your mom is a seasoned declutter now.❤️🐕🐕

[@Iamgone1961]

Once you’ve threaded the serger a couple of times, and learnt the shortcut to threading it’ll be a doddle, don’t get rid of it 🙏👍

[@margiebramer2384]

Keep moving forward mama!! I am on probably the 3 pass on my house. One room at a time. And not only am I letting go of a lot of stuff,I am storing what I keep in better places so I know where to find them! Making space!!

[@dai649]

April, have you ever thought to include some wardrobe, to storage all projects? Maybe the room could get better used if you create more shelves and drawers. Because looking at her stuff, she does not have too much things. She is doing absolutely well!

[@judyellen4412]

I think you and your mom are doing a fantastic job. It is such a useable and happier room now. It great that your mom accepts your help.

[@mimishimaineko1173]

Thanks for making it real! I want to get it right on the first pass, not admitting to myself it's going to take several (so I tend to give up).🧡

When you get discouraged, just keep telling yourself that even just a little better is still better.

I hang my cutting mat on the back of a door with a pants coat hanger on a over dootmr hook. Stips it from bending and its not in the way. I have 3 so i stagger the clips on each hanger and they fit snuggly. Loveing this video.

TFS❣️🤗

[@katieallen3927]

Craft rooms are the hardest to declutter as it feels wrong to get rid of supplies. My craft room is also my home office and my craft is quilting, both activities take up lots of space and require lots of organizing. I’ve accepted that I will never be done with this room and that’s okay. When I’m no longer able to quilt I will get rid of all craft supplies but until then it’s just keeping it from getting out of control.

[@susanstewart1402]

A few nice deep cabinets from IKEA would solve this quickly. Once it is sorted and curated, you know where everything is and it is ready for you when you are inspired. Save the good stuff. The beautiful embroidery would make a nice statement piece once framed and mounted. A family heirloom. My girlfriend's mother was a skilled crafter and had a ton of stuff. Because it was all sorted neatly in categories and stored properly away from light, mold, moths, it was easy to pass it on to those who would benefit .. including myself.

[@annascavezze616]

Please tell your mom not to cut that Embroidery peice into smaller pieces for small hoops. Its beauty is the size. Get it framed, and hang it on the wall. It's such a nice piece.

[@margaretvillalpando7722]

I have been helping my mom (83 yrs. old) declutter her house for the last 5 years. In the beginning she was very reluctant to get rid of anything. After watching your videos and other similar videos I was able to gently convince her to get rid of more and more things each time we "revisit" spaces in her home. Yes, it was hard for me as well because some of the things were also sentimental to me and we both have a love for dishes and decor. But I gently reminded my mom (and myself) of the "rules" of decluttering and have been able to slowly get rid of more and more things in her house and in my house as well. I just took another load of things to Goodwill from my mom's house not to mention the 5 bags of trash/recycling. In Nov she was able to let go of 4 trash bags of skirts that she had been keeping even though she wasn't wearing them. She can't wear heels anymore and they were too long for her to wear. We were fearful of her tripping on them and falling. We keep reminding ourselves that we are in different "seasons" of life, and we have to "let go" of things that don't serve us in the current season of life. There is still more to declutter in our homes, but we do a little here and there as time permits. I live 40 minutes away from my mom. Thanks to your mom for giving us more inspiration to declutter and tidy.

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Your mom has come a long way. Congratulations to you both. Congratulations to her for letting go so much and congratulations to you for helping her with getting her things organized. If by next time she hasn't gotten rid of most of the fabrics, then I suggest the wall that the big painting is you and her consider getting a wall to wall IKea sectional closet with lots and lots of shelves and doors to hide them. I saw a video from Alexandra Gatter where she organized her handyman, workshop and it looks wonderful. She was able to hide most of the things by building this shelf organizing wall to wall closet. She was able to hid so much stuff in an organized labeled way it was inspiring. Your mom will love it and so will you after everything is put away out of sight out of mind kind of thing. If I had the space, I would do it myself.

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

I helped my mom with her sewing room last weekend, she had forgotten about a lot of stuff and she had a lot of unfinished projects, so we rearranged a bit and got rid of some fabric scraps. She had like five pair of scissors out beside the sewing machine 😂😅❤🎉

[@andreafolda1719]

The change is incredible! Congratulations to your Mom and you!

[@DipityS]

As I recall, Mama-April has been busy with dozens of projects since the first pass. If she'd been forced to declutter all her crafting things those projects - that doing - wouldn't have been done, or she'd have needed to buy more. I fully agree with you on no decluttering what you know you'll use and also with allowing others to determine their own pace - although - occasionally it's good to throw in a 'how long have you had it and not used it?' question 😁

[@azaleasewing8373]

I have a long worktop for my sewing room, I keep three machines out all the time and a rolling chair between them and it’s amazing!

[@sharonsomers5513]

Your mom is doing such a great job. CAn she leave her sewing machine up on her table. She has a lot of room now.

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

Yes! She has one up already, but inherited two more that we need to find space for soon.

[@darleneh608]

I like April's suggestion of a long desk big enough to have all of them out all the time. The older she gets, the harder it will be to lift the machines and set them up and later pack them away. Being able to give each their own assigned spot makes it possible to just walk over to the machine you want to use and just start using it. This would be extremely convenient for someone who continually shifts between projects and will allow her to do more. One suggestion, though, is that one of her early projects might be to create pretty dust covers for each machine.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Great job ladies. I've had to move out of my bedroom because i have too much craft supplies. The annoying thing is, i dont use it and probably never will. I would like to give it to somebody who would use it. I love the rug as grey is my favourite colour at the moment and not sure what kind od feel your mum wants but if it was minimal she could lift the rug out?

[@tngirlz4622]

Another KZbinr, Cass from Clutterbug, suggests donating extra craft supplies to long term care homes (aka nursing homes) and retirement homes, since crafting is one of the activities staff often organize for residents. Schools might also accept some, because elementary-age students could use them as art supplies.

[@thelittlelynx]

Wow, so much progress, well done! I would take out that carpet though, it's very loud and busy and adds to a cluttered feel. The wood floor is so beautiful on its own but if you do need a carpet, I'd replace it with a cream or beige one without any pattern.

[@ruthpaino6171]

April, you are the epitome of patience. Nicely done...xxx

[@ambertarver1364]

They still have cd carriers. She can keep the cds in a book thing and it takes up less space.

[@leonieveraesh]

its so nice to see how the room somehow lights up. not only because there is less stuff but i think bc your mom finally can do what she loves in there, following all (or some) of her hobbies it gets filled with love and you can actually see that.

[@vickylch]

it is a great idea using the loops. I used a frame for a small embroidery sampler my mom did. I keep it in my home office/craft room. I have also some samples of crocheting my mom did and I'm thinking on how to display them.

[@3TXSisters]

Love this series. Your mom is great. Y'all have made so much progress! I'm impressed that she's willing to tackle so much. It is a lot of work; however, the benefits are well worth it! Hope you found another home in the area to help. It'll be interesting to work on a space you've never seen. I guess you did that in the Miami area, but that was a different situation. Hope your dad is doing well. Take care, Linda 🦋

[@SpaceMakerMethod]

She’s made some great progress! And yes, I have a plan to start filming more projects for you guys. I do client work, but I don’t tend to film that since they’re paid projects. But can’t wait to expand and tackle more homes on the channel!

[@assimpleasgravity]

It is so nice to see your mom adapt her own strategy and her own way of decluttering but even more beautiful to see her be more comfortable letting go of stuff now at the third pass-through, since you gave her the time and space to make it to this point in her own pace. She should be proud of herself as you should be proud of yourself not just decluttering for other people, but giving them the tools to be able to it by themselves in the future, with a little push but also endless amount of kindness and care. Sidenote, since this is your moms hobby room and she mentioned being intimidated by the serger - I learned sewing on my moms fully mechanical Pfaff machine and was really intimidated when I bought my first sewing machine with quite a bit more bells and whistles - as well as digital components. That being said, my mom gifted me her serger this year and even though it might take your mom half an hour to thread all four threads the first few times, it is a steep learning curve and she'll adapt fairly quickly in my opinion, so having a serger is always a win in my (sewing) book. Maybe she can just try it out on a few projects without putting too much pressure on herself and see how it goes? Sending lot's of love :)

[@LaurelChinnRealEstate-Fairfax]

I feel like your mom needs a project basket shelf with her matching baskets. So cute. Love the embroidery.

[@andreaschadeck5596]

I just saw your Mom’s CDs and it made me think of when I was still holding onto them. When I finally let go, I did this painstaking process of downloading every song I liked from every album and putting them onto an iPod shuffle. The problem with that was - it went through the washing machine one time and I could no longer hear the music or get it off of my iPod to put on another device. I have a suggestion to gift your parents something like Spotify and then help them set up their own playlist with all of those CDs on it. I still need to do this for myself, but slowly work on it when I think of it. I have to actually remember the songs though 🤔

I loved this video! I relate to your mom very much. I get attached to stuff and I hold on to it for too long and then I get overwhelmed. This video actually helped me plan out my sewing/hobby room as well. I recently started sewing and I now know I don't need a serger ;) and I might get a foldable table too for my pattern cutting. I was planning on buying a big table for my sewing machine to also use it for patterns but now that I think about it, that might be a waste of space.

Tell your mum don’t get rid of the serger.

why don't you install shelves on the left and right of the window? i feel what is missing is storage space

You should go back to Jackson’s family’s house and show us how it looks now.

Not sure sure what is the background behind the name of this room, but maybe you can change the name to the joy room and add things that make her happy. Change the identity of the room. Start fresh. Sometimes we need to declutter our energy also.

Sincere question about what you will do when she passes. Who will be responsible for clearing out her home and are there items you want to keep of hers?

Keep your surgery and practice threading it. You will enjoy it so much.

I mean.. the thing is, if you have hobbies, you're going to have stuff. It's going to look like you use it. It's just a craft room. They aren't going to look like a magazine and perfectly organized.

At the first round there was a big problem with the window so that she couldn't open the blinds. Is that problem fixed? Are there new windows already?

It is very hard to declutter a creative space. A person is always hoping that they will get the time, energy, creative spark to use the space and items again. Projects started and not completed claim they want our attention but we need to remember that the act of creating them was what was important. Finishing it may not be necessary. Send it to your favorite charity store. You will be surprised that it has a life of its own and that it will attract attention and energy from someone else.

What would you do with craft supplies you have decluttered?

[@darleneh608]

Art teachers, senior centers, assisted living homes are just some of the places that would likely be interested.
