Organizing Craft Room

I have a new friend Bonniejean, who is into crafts like I am. She showed me her craft area and it was ultra organized. Mine has been really bad for the last 6 months. Not putting things away, etc. I finally decided after church today I was going to get started.

Five years ago when I made my craft room, I painted the walls, put up my desk, painted the dressers for my yarn, put up pegboard and then just kind of stopped.
I haven't decorated the walls, or done much at all with the pegboard. I tend to take stuff in there and then dump it. Bad habit. Tonight I decided that I really want to actually finish this room so that I will enjoy it more. Money circumstances have changed some, so I need to do it on a shoe string. Most of the elements are in place. I just need to keep going.

I got my desk almost totally cleared off. What is left are little piles I want to put in baskets, jars etc on my pegboard. I need some organizing ideas. When I originally put my pegboard up cut dowels to put in the holes for my thread spools. That isn't working like I wanted at all. I'm going to see about buying a premodern rack.
 
When I originally planned my craft room I built desk top on the majority of two of the walls. I also saved and painted a piece to use as a table extension, with collapsible legs. It will give me some more room when sewing and laying things out. Not enough room to keep it prmanantly though. As I was cleaning up I realized I couldn't find it. Searched high and low to no avail. DS1 and DS2 said they didn't know. I guess I wll have to go buy a new piece. Darn!
