A weekend of cleaning and organizing the art studio

I spent most of Friday evening clearing out (throwing away) the junk left in the studio from my son's room that he did not want anymore. Then on Sunday I began organizing what was left in there which by then was all my own stuff. I rearranged it and like it alot better. I can feel the creative juices flowing when I step in there now.
When I took over this bedroom a few years ago, my hubby built these built in shelves for me. I really like them and it did not take me long to fill them up. I love to read if you could not tell.
Here above are the shelves at the sewing area. I finally went thur my fabric stash last night and organized what little I had by color.
Here is my old chair and stash of yarn around it. Looks a little crowded but I like it.
I also washed up the reds and white fabric that I want to make a quilt from. I just need to find a pattern and begin. They are ready to go now, but I am still stumped on what to make of it.

I got my ravelry invite Friday afternoon, but haven't started to use the notebook section of same yet. I only got one completed project posted over there and that is the granny square blanket. At least now I will know where all my stuff is so I can add it in over there. I am just exploreing and getting a feel for the site. I have a feeling it is going to suck me right in though, in a good way of course.

I was hoping to have my invite by this weekend. I think it will give me the motivation to clean up the art studio. It is alot messier now. My son and I cleaned out his room and did a little makeover with it and all the stuff he does not want has ended up in the studio. UGH!! He told me it can all go in the attic, but I am thinking most of it is going in the trash! Anything to get it out of my space so that I can go back up there and be creative again.
I should have done this last weekend with our three day weekend, but was enjoying hanging out on the couch and playing with yarn instead by working on that second granny square blanket.
