Well, I also pull everything out when I'm working on a project. But I'm hoping to find time to make some of those awesome flower pots and hanging jars and cans (shown in Becky's link) to help me in organizing. I figure if I put a shelf real close to my work table, I might, and I say , might, put the things up as I use them. I have however learned to start with a clean slate at the beginning of each of my drapery projects. So, I'm finding myself doing that, at the start of each new craft project. But mercy, while I'm working on it, well, let's just say, no visitors allowed.
