The Unravelings of a Looneyman

Well I have started a process of cleaning out and reorganizing my studio! The first step was the buttons. Then I hit the bookshelves. I can now find a book when I want!

What I did was sorted all my books by type and got rid of the duiplicates. Some books I liked so much I bought 2 and 3 copies of!!

I then made dividers for my books so they can stay sorted this time. I decided to make the dividers single sided so I can rearrange sections if I feel like it. Take a look at the pictures below.

I have finally finished sorting all my buttons so I can better utilized them.

I got to thinking that when I need buttons in a sewing project, I selected them by color first than size. So I have sorted them all by color. The idea to sort them came to me when I was looking at a bunch of Crystal Light contains that I could not throw away because they had to be useful for something.

The picture below is my new button shelf in my disaster area of a studio. I took the picture on my cell phone so the quaility is not the best!!!
