So, I emptied everything out and got to work. I sorted everything by what it was...ribbon, yarn, fabric, thread, and stuff for my etsy store. Then I put the little stuff into containers and put it all back. It took me a few hours, but I am so happy to have everything organized and easily accessible.
These fabric boxes up on top were on sale at Wal-Mart and I thought they would be perfect for holding my ribbon and thread. For the ribbon I just sorted it by color. For the thread, I took each spool and the matching bobbin and put it in a snack size ziploc. Now I just have to find the color I need and I'm ready to go.
I also got these locks to help keep my kids out. They work pretty well as long as I remember to lock them when I am done.
p.s. there is still time to enter my Messy Monday and Transform Tuesday linky parties. I'd love to see what you have to show off!
I linked up to these sites. Go check them out!

Nice! I like the idea to put the thread and bobbin together in a bag. Genius!
I just posted my fabric reorganization on my blog too! Your space looks fabulous. I'd love it if you'd join my Home and Family Friday linky parties.

Looks much better now!! My "craft" area looks like your before....
It looks great now and great idea with the baggies. Oh, and your cookbook has been sent. Sorry, it took so long. Jana was out of town for a few days. Thanks for linking again.
Love the idea of storing the bobbin with the matching color thread! You are Genius!
I'm completely moving my craft room right now, I hope my reorganization goes as well as yours did!
Wow! That looks great! Putting the thread and matching bobbin in a ziplock is genius!
Great job! I'm sure you feel more creative in there now, too! Saw you at Along for the Ride.
the after pics look so much better. I love it when my things are nice and organized, I don't like chaos in my craft room, it's not fun to have to look for things.
