I must say I am not the most organized crafter. I have things in a wicker basket in the living room, in a closet, in a drawer the bedroom. And it's not just items for one craft that I've got stashed away. Since I love doing different crafts at different times I have to make space for knitting needles, threads, yarn, fabrics, glue guns and more.
It's all a bit overwhelming to organize, not to mention take up a lot of space.
Which may explain why I've loved the virtual peek into other crafters design spaces this week thanks to the blog at The Sewing Loft, http://thesewingloft.com. Each day for the last week the website has highlighted three different sewers or quilters and showcased where they make their creative magic happen. Some of the crafters have full rooms dedicated to their art, others make do with makeshift spaces that do double duty as dining rooms or bedrooms.
I've got some great ideas for what I'd like to do with my own craft space at some point, but for right now I'm content with having spent a day organizing my supplies, putting fabrics and yarns together, and finding homes for most of the accessories that go along with crafting.
And in case you looking for some ideas to organize your supplies, particularly small items, I'd suggest you hit the back-to-school sales. Plastic school boxes and sliding pencil cases make great storage bins for packs of sewing needles, cable holder, stitch counters, embroidery floss and more.
