Fridge Organizers

In an effort to keep clutter off of the surfaces of my home, I made a couple of little things to keep pens and notepaper for grocery lists, etc on the fridge. To the right is a simple clip I glued magnets on and to the left is a box I made for holding pens and yet more notepaper. I made the box from a cereal box (cut the bottom off, cut that in half and inserted one side into the other) and then glued magnets on it and then covered the whole thing in fabric. Magnets make me a bit nervous with a small child around (if eaten by a child they can be fatal) but I used a really strong glue and they are either covered in fabric or out of DS' reach.

Inspired by Not Martha's Fridge Tin Pen Holder.

I am so making one of these with DS. Via Activity Village



I am busy painting kitchen cupboards, so no crafting for me at the moment.

17 Bags Plus One

I just finished this big order for 17 tote bags. They are unlined and have a pocket with a badge on the front.



A summer bag. I couldn't resist the prints at the fabric store. I did something new and used wide ribbon for the handles, doubling it and sewing seams on each edge with a pretty stitch.





My newest addition in my quest for an organized sewing room.

Clutter Catcher

I sewed this over the weekend for the car. I still hate bias tape, but pockets for diapers, pockets for granola bars- be still my organizer-loving heart!

Decluttered

Two more bags. The photos of these don't do them justice. The black is a courdoroy with embroidery on it and the brown is an embroidered taffeta. And I now eat invisible zippers for breakfast, rar!





And I did some craftroom cleaning this weekend.. stuff was piling up and all cluttered. I even did the closet. I was about to give this shelf away when my cousin called me and I told her what I was doing and she remarked that she wanted a shelf to put her fabric stash in, instead of bins, so she could see what she had in stock. Good idea, N.

Organization

Finally cleaned out my embroidery floss mess stash.



And a sneak preview of the project I am currently working on:

Wow I did it

Talked about it for three years and..





Now it looks almost lonely in here! When Ev is bigger I will get him his own craft desk but for now I just left him some dollhouse furniture.

Here is all the stuff to give away/sell- everything except the brown bookcase.

Why I Need to Clean Out the Craft Room

This is just getting ridiculous. Can you say packrat? It's pronounced "ah-man-dah".
