Work in Progress!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason I have gotten on an organizing/OCD spree.I have been cleaning out, throwing lots away, and just organizing EVERYTHING the past week!I want everything in its own place!I can't stand lots of clutter so every so often I go through a spell like this!My husband keeps complaining about ALL the garbage!Seriously over the past week I have thrown away about 30 garbage bags full of STUFF in addition to the regular household garbage!Nothing important just stuff!Old magazines, broken toys, toys with LOTS of tiny pieces, etc....... I will be so glad when the whole house is complete!I want everything so that I would be proud for anyone to open any door (cabinets and closets included) instead of be mortified!

I started my sewing room/sun porch/hubby's office(I have taken over) yesterday.I had someone recommend peg boards.I finally got me two of them at Lowe's the other day.They are very cheap!I think they where like $3.46 for one board!Then you do have to buy the pegs and whatever else you want to go on them but that stuff isn't much either.I started out not getting a lot soooo now I am not finished.However my mother is coming today and I am having her stop and pick up some more pegs so I can finish.I really didn't know how it would all work so I under bought.I love it though!I think it will help make my life in my sewing room more simple.I am always losing things and have never really had a great way of storing thread.Now I do!I do have a thread stand but the pegs are not tall enough for the thread I use and the thread constantly falls off!If any of you know of a stand with taller pegs please e-mail me!I use Isacord and poly x thread mostly and those spools just don't like those pegs!Here are a few pictures of my work in progress.I will post more pics of it all finished in the next few days!
I am really going to like this finished!

I really wish I could find a thread stand with taller pegs!
View from the room!Not as peaceful as it looks sometimes!
I found this hall tree at a factory that was shut down.I hang all bags etc... on it.

The folding table doesn't seem to be stable enough for my bigger machine so I have taken over hubby's desk.

The top drawer is where the thread was and it was always getting tangled up and falling over!
Here is another of those shelves that I mentioned in an earlier post.It is great for appliqué fabric!The best way for organizing my small pieces that I have found!
