Organizing all the stuff that has accumulated - PAS, YAS, HAS

Tuesday I got a phone call asking if I had any of the soft hats in stock, she needed one for a family member. I only had 1, so I made up 2 while watching tv Tuesday evening.
Did a lot more organizing and cleaning. I have a plastic bin with file folders - labeled afghans, baby afghans, baby clothes, sweaters, ponchos, shawls & shrugs,hats and scarves, doiles & household, and misc. Anything I printed off the internet, and small leaflets are filed in here. Large booklets & books are sorted into magazine holders - afghans, sweaters, baby, Tunisian, and catalogs. I also have 3 magazine holders filled with magazines.
I also spent time re-organizing yarn. So often several skeins come out of the bins for a project, and when finished the leftover doesn't get put away. So I had a large box of partial skeins that I had to sort and get into bins. Some of the smaller amounts got dropped into a tapestry bag that I have for taking to classes.
I have 3 tapestry bags. 1 is for the current project(s) and has all the steel & aluminum hooks (wooden hooks are in a mug atop the piano), needle sizer and stitch gauge, ruler, tape measure, scissors, stitch markers, box of colored pencils, a pad of sticky notes, pencil, a set of cable stitch holders, and several tapestry needles.
A second bag is for the Shawl Ministry and has the current project - shawl and soft hats
The third bag is for teaching and has a folder of important information - yarn sizing chart, hook size chart, tips to share with students, some small stitch guides, and small balls of leftover yarn.
