Then I have a box for embroiderry thread, one for normal thread, a huge box for buttons and then my fabric is all folded in a chest but it gets very messy.Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261881473022815425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337409411248280914.post-60458267665406189652009-02-10T10:20:00.000+00:002009-02-10T10:20:00.000+00:00Lovely cupcake needle case.

It's still absolutely rampant, though. I definitely recommend the drawers for small bits like sequins and anything you'd use for papercrafting - they've really made our joint crafting sessions a lot easier (just ensure the glitter glue is well out of reach!). The flat RUBs are fab for paper if you have space under your sofa!<BR/><BR/>Yarn and fabric go well in the Really Useful Boxes and since they're airtight they keep out the cat hair. Patterns go in lever arch folders. When I'm working on a large crochet project it stays in a tote bag (the Cath Kidston ones from Tesco are a great size!) so I can move it from room to room or on hols etc. Small projects go in zip-lock plastic bags!<BR/><BR/>My embroidery threads go on bobbins - I got a neat little winding gadget last year: http://www.wimblebees.com/pd_A[f]A01[f]WIN1_Anchor_Thread_Winder.htm and although it's a faff to get everything sorted at first, it really does cut down on both searching time and duplication. Cross stitch projects go in zip-top plastic folders with all the relevant charts/threads/fabric etc. I use a big Lapman frame-in-a-bag for most of them so they just slide into the pocket whichever I'm working on. I do have one of those DMC bags as well - never bothered with the bobbins for it - but it holds my big Afghan at the moment so is less useful.<BR/><BR/>Jewellery storage I have a big problem with; it's all in my bureau in lots of little stacking pots or jars. Not at all easy to search through so I'm always looking for a solution for that.<BR/><BR/>You're probably a lot more organised than you think, you know...:)<BR/><BR/>Love the needlebook, by the way - I must get one!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003411148319982087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337409411248280914.post-60828515424764996802009-02-09T15:44:00.000+00:002009-02-09T15:44:00.000+00:00Organized craft stuff is foreign to me... but this...Organized craft stuff is foreign to me... but this little cupcake book makes me wish I owned some needles!!!!!!! <BR/>By the way, Fischer just saw the picture and has fallen in love with the "birthday cake with that button on top!". <BR/><BR/>Lovin' all of your projects... you've almost inspired me to make something! ;)Lisa, F is for Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099795263288256108noreply@blogger.com
