I hate to do it but it has to be done. I am sorting through and trying to get my sewing room more organized. I hate to have it where I can't find things. I bought another 3 drawer file (the clear plastic kind) to put my scrap strips in. I'm going through now and cutting up all leftovers from projects. I'm doing this from Bonnie's (Quiltville) scrap users instructions...I do like that. The scrap "users" instead of scrap savers system...Anyway, I'm trying to get it together. I'm not going to do this all at once. I'm going to do it like she suggested and just cut and sort for about 15 minutes each time I sew. Before long, I will have all my sorting done. I worked in my sewing room for 2 hours today and made a good start.
I bought some lifters for my cutting table to bring it up to the height it should be but I don't like them and I'm taking them back. Don (my sweet husband) said he will make some lifters for the legs of my table and install them this week....oh boy, that will help alot. I'll take some pictures once it's done. I told him that I don't care what they look like, I'm the only one that will see them. *VBS*
He made me a big board for Christmas and I love that. I had to move this around to just the right spot. I'll get it just like I want before too long. More later....

Every once in awhile we probably all have to stop and straighten up, re-arrange, etc in our sewing spaces. Congrats on getting a start on organizing your scraps. Most of mine are in a bulging basket I think I would have done better to do what you did than what I did today - I was working on a paper-pieced block and still haven't quite finished it -- maybe tomorrow, well actually, later today as it is Monday already! Have a great week!
I've even put bricks under the legs of stuff to make them higher. Somewhere I saw using pvc pipe with the legs inserted. You might try that.
The S'berry shortcake is darling. I agree--children's laughter is so sweet.
WHen you get your room organized, come do mine?
