So it was time to bite the bullet and (re)organise my materials. To be honest it's more of an organisation, as to date I've tended to work on the principle 'that this carrier bag has A, that one, B'. However, when you can't find what you want anymore, something has to give.
I've decided to rearrange the spare bedroom so that I can use it as a craft room while making it available as a bedroom at short notice, if needed. The room is only used for two to three weeks in a year, so this way, it will be be used more.
Here are two photos of my cross-stitch materials - threads, charts, kits and fabric. I've probably got about the same amount combined for my wool, patchwork and finishing materials. It's been something of a revelation to DH how much stuff I have now that he sees it all laid out in one place!

I hope you find some lovely forgotten things whilst getting your new craft room ready for occupation. I really need to put stuff away and like you Mary, have put off starting something as I know I need to do it before I kit something new up.
