LHQ - STORAGE TIPS

Some of my favorite storage containers are -

Coffee mugs -
I use coffee mugs to store anything and everything from paper clips to camera cords –
to rulers – scissors – and seam rippers – handy and all nice and neat -

Baskets -
I use pretty baskets to corral odd-sized things –
Just don’t stuff them like mine - ;))

And Photo Boxes - ;))
I store my thread in “Photo boxes” -
The boxes are pretty and stack nicely -
I sort my thread by type and/or brand -
And keep the bobbin WITH the thread –
There are way too many different kinds of thread available today –
I don’t want to mix up my bobbins and thread –
Or try to figure out what type of thread is on a loose bobbin –
It’s too expensive to just throw away -

DESKTOP

I store my camera cord in a coffee mug on my desk -

I use coffee mugs for pencils – pens – markers – etc. -

I use pencil/desk trays and baskets from the 99 cent store –

I use pretty baskets to corral odd-sized things –

SHELVES

I use a tool box nails/screws sorter thingy for needles – pins – and “stuff” –
And photo boxes for thread -

I use a picnic utensil holder to hold long/tall “stuff” –

I use anything and everything that will hold “stuff” –

I put fun stuff on the REALLY high shelves -
Like my little plaques -
The one on the left reads - “You Sew Girl!!!”
The one on the right reads - “Measure Twice - Cut Once”

CABINETS

I use plastic sweater/under the bed bins under my cabinets –
They make finding the stuff in back super-easy -
And easy to get to –
I just pull it out like a drawer –
Voila – “stuff”!!

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
