Operation: Organize-Fabric-and-Get-It-Away-From-Sticky-Fingers

... is now COMPLETE!
We had a busy, busy weekend that involved getting new light fixtures throughout the house (I'll probably post pics soon!), picking out our new wood flooring, baby showers, a girls trip to Mary Jo's, cleaning and organizing... and organizing... and organizing.... and rearanging and organizing some more!
I have now moved all of my quilting weight cottons, seersucker, minky, linen and pre-cuts to the den in this random piece of furniture that used to act as a bar (you know, back in those wilder days of mine). I love that I can now see all my fabric, but sticky little fingers can't grab it! It's a bit of a pain that it's not in the same room as my sewing machine, but hey- it was all in tupperware drawers in my bedroom closet before, so I'm not complaining!

Now just to figure out what to do with the flannels, large scraps, broadcloth and upholstry-weight fabrics.... ok, so I may have a problem.

On that note, my birthday is tomorrow (WHEEE!) so I may be buying myself a little birthday present. How weird is it that as soon as I got all this fabric ogranized, I immediately thought "Ok, now I should buy some more fabric"? I'm seriously drooling over these circles and I did the math and with the free shipping I can order a yard of each without spending any real money (cause PayPal money isn't "real" money, right? .... right?!)

Your fabric looks awesome!! My large scraps and big pieces that don't fold well live inside a cabinet now...

Isn't it nice to see {almost} all your fabric at once?

Happy birthday! I came over to check out your link from That Girl. I started wrapping my fabric on comic book boards this weekend. You got further than I did. It sure looks pretty!
