I'm very fortunate to have a large room dedicated to my hobbies.
But even then, things can get really out of control!
Since I'm trying to stitch thematically month-by-month this year, I decided it was time to organize my charts.
Believe it or not, these photos represent the beginning of some semblance of organization - Patriotic, Noah's Ark, Spring/Easter, Chickens, Valentines, Gardening, Crows/Blackbirds, Halloween, Autumn, Thanksgiving, Snowmen, Christmas...
The weather was not wonderful for the first day of the Great Backyard Bird Count. I enumerated most of my species in the 7-8am hour.
Here's the report I sent in:

Here's a Sign of Spring - Violets!
An In-Town friend picked this small posy.
Oh, the smell!

I"m overwhelmed at the number of patterns you had laying out! Wow! Can't wait to watch you stitch this year.
Violets - I'm still a month away from flowers here in Ohio. Give them a good sniff for me.
You have given yourself a big job. I did something like that last summer. It is worth the effort. I wish I could send you a few woodpeckers. We think it is the suet that has drawn them to our feeder. Have a great week-end.
I just saw a little quip on another blog that said "you don't know what you have until you clean your room" -- soooo true. Good luck withe bird count!
Good luck with your counting and organizing. I am with you on the organizing front - been working on it for the last 4 - 5 weekends.
It is amazing how quickly charts build up, stashaholism is very contagious.
Good luck with your organizing!! I can never find another way of doing it vs. just grouping it by designer.
