I know you are curious about this title, but like most stitchers we hoard our stash. My hoarding got out of control. I couldn't turn around in my craft room. The dogs and cats loved being in there with me but we all didn't fit...Take a look at everything that was in my little room:
 |
| Cross Stitch patterns |
 |
| Jag hanging out in the empty box |
 |
| Hoarded Stash |
 |
| Cleaned out room |
 |
| Stash |
 |
| more horded stahs |
 |
| furniture in room |
So as you can see I have a lot of stash!!!! I cleaned most of the night and all day today! I am exhausted. Tonight I plan on winding thread and watching movies. Here is the final product of my cleaning:
 |
| Bert and Jag playing while I work |
 |
| Sewing tools and thread all hanging on the wall |
 |
| Bookshelves with empty spaces on them!!!! |
 |
| Cross Stitch wall of exchanges!!! |
As you can see I destashed quiet a bit! So I will be having several giveaways in the next few days...Here is the first. I cleaned out enough fabric to fill a Glad trashbag full. So I separated them into two boxes. It has Aida, evenweave, baby towels and who knows what else. To win:
1) One entry for leaving a comment
2) One entry for posting about the contest on your blog (you have to email me the link to the post)
I have Mark pick two winners on Sunday. Someone will start the year as a winner.

This is just too weird you posted this tonight! I just got back from Menards and bought $400 worth of organizing things for my craft room! I have to empty it, remove wall paper and paint before I can put the shelving in though. I will sure to post before and after pictures like you did. Doesn't it make you feel so much better when things are in their right spots??? Great mission accomplished!
Please include me in your drawing.
Thank you.

I don't want to be in the giveaway, but I did want to congratulate you on such a huge undertaking. It took me moving to another state to get my own room in order. It originally looked like your first photo before I packed it all up. You're a new "blog" for me and I've added you to my reader. Good luck with your stitching (and reading) in 2012.
I am now a follower and have posted on my blog about your give away as well. crazypurplemom.blogspot.com Thank you for the chance at your give away.

Wow Vickie~~ Fabulous job. Enjoy the fruits of your labor in the New Year! While you @ it would you enter me in the giveaway? Thanks! I'll post on my blog tonight, but don't have your e-mail address to send you the link. :(
Love the purple walls!! Please count me in on your giveaway. I'd love some evenweave to put in my stash pile.
Pennyb
Your stash room looks a lot like mine does, Vickie. Except yours is a bit more organized than mine, actually! I bought a four-drawer file cabinet at Goodwill, thinking that I could use it to file all my charts in subject order and to store my kits and fabrics and threads as well. And what have I done so far? Well, it's still sitting in the garage because I need help getting it into the house; it's too heavy for me to move by myself. Time to ask for help, right? LOL!! Thanks so much, sweetie, for your generous giveaways.
Ellen
I cleaned out my craft room about 7 months ago.

Thanks!
Lana aka Spud
P.S. - I always get confused when I come to your blog, now that you have changed it, thinking I have never been here before. lol
I tried organizing my stash and it doesn't look nearly as nice as yours does. Wow! I think I fpind some great ideas for my stash room.
I need to do what you are doing, cleaning out my bedroom/needlework room. I keep getting sidetracked: I would rather stitch!
Would like a chance at your giveaway.
Paula Shelgren
Isn't it so nice to have a clean place to work in.. I do the destash quite often... Most times I give extra items to my Charity Stitching group, we have a blog and try to host a giveaway on there monthly which helps make stitches aware of the good work we do with our stitching.
You have given me hope that just maybe I can clean up my sewing room. Enter me in the giveaway
love the reorganization looks wonderful! one day when i get my own room again i am looking forward to having something similar! hopefully by my next birthday only 365 more days to go i got time!

I need to do that to my room. It is on my list of things to do over the holidays.
Okay, let me know where you got the energy I'll send my chiuahua, English Bulldog and 3 cats to stay with you while I start on mine.
Rita
Great job on the re-organization! We have 3 cats that love to help us sew! My youngest daughter (22 years old) has just started cross stitching, and she's hooked! However, now that means I have to share my stash! Happy New Year!

What an awesome giveaway, Vickie! And I'd love to have you come over and help me organize my stash, too. I have no talent when it comes to organizing! What's so wonderful about this giveaway is that it involves fabric! I have enough charts to keep me busy the rest of my life, but find that I lack fabric. So what a wonderful gift this would be to me. Thanks so much!
Would be happy to give your old stash a new home.
Holy smokes. I envy you. Moving down from Canada where one bought what she made I could only dream of having such a stash lol I will link your giveaway on my blog also
http://rockymountainstitcher.blogspot.com
It's a little frightening when we go through our stash, right? Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks.
Wow - I am so impressed with your destashing and organizing. I think I would cry if I had to sort out my stash, actually i know I would as i tried to reduce before but the charts got put back!!
Hi I would love to give your stash a new home in Savannah GA at my house LOL
