A few months ago, I organized all my craft supplies and personal memorabilia (to be scrapped) in what I thought was the most brilliant system:
Boxes under my desk. With fancy-schmancy masking tape labels.
Yarn was all balled up in one huge basket.

And basically, everything was in constant disarray.
But as I mentioned in yesterday's post, now everything is organized a little differently.
Yarn is organized according to color in one of my favorite little dressers.
I am tying vintage keys around each handle on this chest. The color of the ribbon and the color of the swarovski crystal I glue on each key will indicate the color of yarn in each drawer.
And supplies/memorabilia are tucked in some awesome cubes I bought at a craft store.
I loved putting these drawers together because I got to use my electric screwdriver. I briefly pondered a career in construction, before realizing that I am probably not the worlds best candidate for daily heavy labor. Anyway, these pieces are purchased individually, stack able, and come in a variety of different drawer/shelf compositions. Some people have posted configurations that they have come up with here. I can't wait until I have a whole separate room for my studio and can stack them similarly. I have a feeling that the versatility that these things offer will make me happy with them for a long time to come.
Here's another newly organized cupboard. Some Etsy projects in progress go here, and my basket full of a blanket in progress is next to it.
Sorry these photos are a bit dark and blurry. Apparently my room is quite dark, even with an 800 ISO. I wonder if my room is naturally blurry too... : )
