Doing good so far. I had seen that Temu storage system before. I wonder if it is supposed to be that small or if it is because it is from Temu. I thought it was a great idea. I think the off brand from Temu is smaller than the advertisement I had seen. But you are making it work, so that is fantastic.
I have an idea that might work for you. Maybe you should take everything out of the boxes and put everything in piles of how you want them stored together. Place the piles where you plan to put them, whether you have a storage system or not. That way you can see how big of a system you need. For example: take all your fabric and place it next to the wall in a pile. Then micro organize the fabric into however you want them stored and then look for a storage that will hold all of the fabric. You maybe stuck will piles all over, for awhile, but you will at least know how much storage you need.
Having everything in boxes and in different places, doesn’t allow you to see everything you have. Right now you find a solution, but you bring in new boxes and find it won’t fit what you just organized and you have to change everything up. I use to have that same problem. I like to find a bargain and don’t pass it up, because might use it in the future. 😁. But I ran out of room. So I took everything out and dealt with a huge mess for several months as I put everything in piles and then into storage.
I hope I explained it well enough. Just remember, you have a great space and it will take time to make it work. Don’t worry about messes. You keep creating beautiful things and it will all work out in time. 😁

Great suggestions!

That is a lot of stuff. I wonder where you kept all this in your house? Your old craft space looked full but not big enough to hold all this. You’re really making good progress though. This new space is a great opportunity for you to be able to really categorize and sort your stuff the way you want it. I love watching your process, TFS!

[@rootpursuit]

Thank you! I actually had 3 nice size rooms in my other house for storing crafts. 🫠🤪😂

[@MaAllen417]

Looks like your making progress. Might add up the days so I can do a count down to Retreat lol. Happy Crafting.

[@rootpursuit]

Haha! Right!?

[@janicestewart8291]

I made a comment here and said how I process things and wished you good luck on your room and creating, and...it's been removed.
Whata' bummer...🤷‍♀️
I'll move along now.

[@rootpursuit]

Janice, I didn’t remove any comments! Not sure if it’s AI or something else! 🙁

[@janicestewart8291]

​@@rootpursuitthank you

Wow, I have to ask. How long did this take to accumulate? I've only been doing junk journals for a few years but I try to keep it manageable. I keep ordering stuff so I have to stop. I like my room to be neat I think because it's easier for me to find what I want when it is neat. I bet you could sort and maybe do some happy mail or donate? What a glorious amount of stuff!! 😀

[@rootpursuit]

It took me only about 4 years to accumulate this amount! Not really that long!
