Let's clean out some more drawers!

[@marilynpruitt7905]

You have me cleaning out my sewing room. I have been working on fabric for over a week. Folding yardage,cutting 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, 2 1/2 x 5 1/2, 10 x 10. Curating sets, sorting colors, separating those that inspire me. Today I did 3 cubby shelfs and pulled together all my books and patterns. I'm blaming it all on Kate. I can't stand watching her sort and not join in. I'm exhausted ! And not done yet. 😂

[@lynnschmidt8395]

I cannot imagine cleaning all my drawers of stuff with people watching me and trying to explain why I’ve saved this. It also gives me many questions about the different projects that you refer to what they were along with your comments about having a shop. I would love to hear about that. Thanks for spending the afternoon with me.

[@janambrose4917]

I had an unused 3 ring binder laying around. I bought pockets for it and now it stores all my "manuals" for appliances, coffee maker, vacuum, stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer. They're all in one place and are easy to find. I also put the date of purchase on front of booklet. This idea may help you stay more organized. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@cynforrest]

Jan Ambrose Great idea! I’m going to do this. I use to have a “household” folder years ago. I wonder what happened?! Lol

[@caryulmer5578]

I did the same thing, I also have one for invoices for work done on things like the car, furnace, hot water tank, appliances etc. it helps me easily see how much I spend on repairs every month & what has already been repaired (I found our furnace repair guy was using used parts so was continually replacing the same things☹), & also one for utility bills (my cell phone server was charging me incorrectly). It all helps me keep things straight & helps budget for the next year. I keep one with records of important information too, including locations of water shut off valves (I have a well for water system because I have 10 acres). I inherited my home & sure wish my parents had kept this for me so I knew what was what. 😄

My husband and I met online when I lived in the Netherlands and he lived in the USA. When I moved there/here I didn't take a lot of things. I had 3 suitcases of clothing and gifts from Holland, and a moving company brought the rest. Well......there was no need to hire a shipping container, I had packed my whole life into 15 moving boxes. My sewing machine had to come with me, and most of the boxes were filled with fabrics and yarn and other hobby stuff. There were 3 boxes of paperwork and documents and pictures. Now I live in a small home and when my family comes to visit the one extra bedroom we have needs to be emptied out! Soooo.....long story short...all my stuff resides in the garage in plastic totes with lids. God forbid if mice find a way into those totes! I can only dream of a cabinet like that, it's truly awsome. Your collection is a lot like mine....and yes..there is always a use for things. I can't tell you how many times I've saved the day for someone by having just the right thing. I always tell my husband; "I have no money, but I've got enough stuff to build an empire." He must love me a lot......😁😁

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I love that story! very much! I like having a dedicated sewing space ... it was harder when the kids were small, but now I have things all over the place and I love it - hard to have your things in the garage! you need that spare bedroom as your craft room!!! xxx

Kate, I spend some of my afternoons sitting in my chair, in my living room, watching you on my tablet while I knit and watch my bird feeders. I couldn't believe I was actually watching you clean out your drawers yesterday! I got such a kick out of your finds and when I took my break I found myself upstairs in my sewing room tidying out my sewing room drawers. I don't know whether to thank you or not but it did feel good getting that all done. I now know where everything is and I'm so organized. I'm not sure what you will be up to next time I tune in but it won't be dull. With affection Christine

[@madhattersoriginal6258]

My entire house is a let's think about it, somewhere safe place...why do we have SO MUCH STUFF ? I figured when I drop down at some point, my daughter would have the pain of clearing through it, I can't do that to her...so Kate, with that in mind...Here's a mantra for you to think about..., IF IN DOUBT, CHUCK IT OUT (to charity, a school, old peeps home, day center for crafting )We really do not NEED them, 😂😂😂 You and I have enough projects to last us until we are 160yrs old 😘 Hugs, Kate (I'm off to purge, you've inspired me.)

[@annefaught6009]

I'm Grinning a great big grin. Your drawer clean out process is much like mine.... OK the drawer is done........ Now I have it all over my table and the rest of the day will be spent finding where all these odd bits go because I know the containers they belong in are here....somewhere. When I grin, it's at myself as well as at you (and from the comments, it seems fairly universal): saving things because they 'really ARE useful'. Potential projects from the last forty years surround me but at 71 I doubt I will be able to catch them up. Somethings got to give way. xxx

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

you hit the nail on the head! emptying out the drawers is only half the story - I should carry on and show how the table is cleared - but I did - because I've been busy with that red/pink quilt so it all had to go! TOO MUCH STUFF!!!!! xxxx

We are kindred spirits! My sewing room is quite small, but I have an old library card catalogue that at one time was organized, but now is a mishmash of small items that belong elsewhere. I'm feeling the need to go through it and put things where they belong, and reunite like items. Your large set of drawers is amazing. I love furniture/cabinets with lots of drawers, but apparently lots of people do as well as the prices for those items has skyrocketed in recent years. I'm enjoying this series of videos.

Like you I had a shop, for 10 years, selling bric-a-brac and sewed/hired fancy dress, so I understand how we accumulate, store and find it hard to let go (cos once you do you'll need it!). I also worked at Oxfam for 14 years and brought home 'stuff' that was being binned/unsaleable, hoping to give it a new home. I have a few more boxes to go through still! Your video made me smile :)

Hello, Kate. Like you, I find sorting out isn’t too difficult but finding a real home for all the sorted piles is tough. I can remember when there was a “place for everything and everything was in its place!” Trust me ... that was many decades ago. As a crafter and semi-artist there’s just too much miscellaneous stuff that defies sorting and organizing. Someday my kids will most likely shovel it out to the bin. Lol. I do enjoy seeing you make headway. Salute!! 💕

I find that interesting because what I consider to be treasure or essential - I know my kids will just bag up for the tip.

So many ‘treasures’!

Hi Kate! - Posh-Girl-Bunting!!! I love it, I'm going to make me some and I'm going to call it "Kate's Posh-Girl-Bunting" :-)

[@lindamazur4208]

Ahhh ,I just got it !! LOL Bunting is the little triangle flags that go on a string and you have it hanging outside? Yes ? I love that idea !

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

yes - but don't confine yourself to triangles! The PGB is little rectangles and I have it above where I feed the cats! (they deserve nothing less!) xxx

[@lindamazur4208]

@@thelasthomelyhouse I'm curious about the little window hagings you made with the fabric from India ,is there anything in it to make it hold it's shape or just what you put on the back ?

[@candacenagle505]

If you ever make a magic wand you will NEED those Jay feathers!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I knew I was keeping them for a reason! A wand it is!!! xxx

[@carolcurtis2220]

Are the pom pom makers made by Clover? They make really good notions.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

yes - they are - did you watch the Midsummer Wedding video I posted - about 3000 pompoms there ! xxx

[@carolcurtis2220]

No, but will👍🏻

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Too funny that you did not know where your sewing machine manual was stored. You know your machine well! I must refer to mine for the littlest things. As you clear out each drawer, are you labeling it? I only have 8 drawers and forget what I put where. Have a lovely evening. Oh, and late congrats on the Djokovic win in Australia. No pics of the cat pattern yet; still in progress.

[@Diannetimpani]

I thought about the labels in the windows. Not so much for Kate to remember (she has that in excellent working condition), but just to see what she would create to suit her life themes.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

no - I'm not labelling them! I guess I am putting something near the front that might indicate what is in there? though even that sounds too organised for me!! I'll just have to clear them all out again in another ten years! xxx

[@loism7453]

Attach the feathers to the bottom of one of the cut out square hangings you made in the Pavilion.

[@Molly-pb2yb]

Just curious...postage stamps in the bag....why did you collect them? What was your intentions for them? 😉

[@rosinyberg8747]

sew the measure tapes into a quilt or denim box

[@britdowson8324]

Norma loves you so much:).

[@lindagunter8339]

Did you make the pom-pom video, if you did could you tell me the title. Thanks

[@pennyvickers5178]

I'm glad I am not the only one who has drawers full of stuff.........

[@karenschafer2827]

Have you made you indigo curtains pijogy(?) style.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

naaah! they are still on the 'to do' pile - so many other things took priority - soon maybe??????? xxx

[@karenschafer2827]

I just don’t want to miss it! Interested in doing something in linen for my bay window.

[@jeanettesmith3341]

Where are you Kate 😬😬 U-Tube says you are ‘private” are you no longer on U-Tube??

[@beverleysimmons8080]

I watch you later while crocheting tonight lol

[@patticlark9321]

Would love to see you make Pom poms and braid!🙂

[@TickittybooLoo]

Kate, did the Indisn Surprise balls reach the charity shop? If not I would very much like to buy them, as I don't seem to be able to find sequince and Indian like embellishments. 😁💕

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I'm sorry Angi - Sadie the cat shredded the last ones and i won't be making more just yet - maybe for christmas! xxx

[@TickittybooLoo]
