Winner: Taking all the furniture out of the "den" we never used and
replacing
it with banquet tables, iron board, sewing maching and a real cutting
board.
Loser: Trying to use the "pretty box" system for fabric. I love
decorated
boxes, but I forget what fabric is in which box, and end up having to
open
them all.
Loser: Using my beloved homemade cedar chest that DH made for me in
High School shop class to store batting. The batting stinks now. :-(
