Today's Tutorial --- Crafting With Ties

Ties are a great crafting resource.    The beautiful fabrics shine in crazy quilts.  Here are just a few things you can make with them.

This bag only takes 8 ties.   Sonya Style

Organizing - Creative Storage Ideas

Today, I'd like to share some unique storage ideas.

The first one I found is for fabric storage and it's really clever. Instructions on how to "file your fabric" can be found at... www.sewmanyways.blogspot.com

How about repurposing an egg carton to use as a drawer organizer? This idea came from www.bhg.com

This one... I LOVE! A birdcage used to hold office/craft supplies. Find out more about it at www.robomargo.com

Having a "why didn't I think of that" moment... yeah... me too. :-)

Thanks for stopping by,
