A Rainy DIY Day.

It's been super rainy and snowy up here in Ohio, and nothing says cozy like some serious DIY-ness. After a family cookie baking day last Saturday, I decided to clean up, organize, and store my craft supplies - as an alternative to the gigantic mess in our TV room.

I took two shoe boxes, one box from my digital camera, and a fabric container - added some felt, newspaper, embroidery floss, and stamps. It was very easy and so effective.

Ta-da!

Crafty Organization. Wooh!
The happy craft corner.

Why is this picture so fuzzy? Guess I need one of these, babe.

I also recently created a custom order for the wonderful Tipp:
Custom Order!

And I'm starting another for the lovely Angela today (go over and send her good wishes, okay?)

I'll be lucky if I get a chance to get gifts for my family at this rate. Hey, at least my crafts are organized, right?

{I'm out of the office for the rest of the week - a work retreat full of "vocation" activities and getting to see my old work and these amazing kids. I'm so excited I'm getting teary-eyed. Oy. We're also having a party Saturday, and I'm not organized enough to post ahead of time - so this blog will be quiet for a while!}

  3. Ohh I should totally do this. My stuff is all in tubs and Trader Joe's bags and an old box from when we moved in. And it's not organized at all. I think that will be my next project!

  6. Your organized corner looks fantastic. I have two big craft boxes that I try to contain my projects in. It doesn't always work out though.

  20. Aw, lovely job on the custom order! Those little pouches are adorable. Goodness, I need to get myself a sewing machine. For realsies. :)

    And doesn't it feel so nice to be all organized? I go on rampages, and then it takes only a few weeks for things to get all messed up again. I have issues, apparently.
