Craft Organizer


I am so excited about this! I got this pretty little thing at an antique store on sale for $70. That's a pretty good deal. One of my New Years Resolutions was to become more organized (which also helped me talk my hubby into letting me get it since he is Mr. Organized and well I am the opposite).

Couldn't take a photo without Kaia getting in the way

So this has become my craft organizer. It houses the box of random things to make cards, a sewing machine, items to make soap, painting supplies, and the basics (glue, scissors, markers, ribbon, etc). She is going to make life easier. Not only because she is going to help me stay organized, but also I no longer have to make multiple trips into the other room to get stuff just to be screamed at by Joey (the quaker parrot who doesn't like objects near his cage). O how I love her!

I would love to hear more great organizational ideas, so please feel free to leave a comment!

    I love any piece of furniture that makes life easier!
    Your's looks perfect...perfectly organized, perfectly vintage...and I'm not a big fan persnickety parrots myself!

      Thank you Pat! Let's just hope it stays nice and organized! I love my parrot but he can get very annoying. At least he is adorable.

    I'm actually impressed that you can fit everything into that lovely piece of furniture...
    My husband would love it if all my crafting paraphernalia fit into a cabinet. :)

    That's a very resourceful idea for storing craft items. I never like the new type craft cabinets and this one has so much style.

    Pretty neat! I like it. I did have to chuckle though as that would be lovely for something like my cardmaking stuff (I think perhaps everything would fit) but I wouldn't be able to beging to fit my sewing stuff, etc. in there. I think you are doing well at being organized by having a reasonable amount of stuff!

    What a great way to organize your sewing/craft stuff. That was a great find for $70!
