getting organised

a lover of supplies from art & craft shops, fabric, habidashery & natural things.. not very organised, not a lover of cleaning & tidying and in the habit of losing things.. today i found a way to organise some stuff.


from this

  6. Great idea, I love the jars! I'm trying to get my creative space organized this month!!! I have a fabric skirt on my desk and behind that are bins with drawers for supply storage. Thanks for the pretty inspiration!

  7. I'm impressed! I've got lots of glass jars that I've saved over the past few months waiting for oranges to get cheap (which they are now) to make marmalade (which probably won't happen) so this could definately work for me without me even buying any - and if I can get my hubby to up his coffee intake there's a fabulous big jar just begging to be useful again instead of going in the recycling :)

  8. hi norma! it's always good to keep jars..you never know when they'll come in handy ; ) i didn't have to buy any either. i cleaned out the pantry and found i had lots of empty jars and out of date stuff. good luck with your organising.

  11. Very pretty!

    I use small porcelain toothbrush holders to hold pens and pencils on my desk - much prettier than your typical pen or pencil holder. They also make cute vases.

  22. LOL! I just wrote about being UN-organized so I'm no help at all. Looks like you have everything done beautifully. I love those IKEA jars, I have one large one but need many more to clean up my pantry.

    Hope you have a lovely week, Cheryl.

    Hugs,
    Marie

  31. Now that looks great. Easy to find what you need....for me getting my craftroom organized would consist of pulling up a dumpster outside and opening the window. LOL...to much stuff.

  32. Sadly I have about 30 large plastic containers under the house full of my craft stuff that has no place in the house. It's a nightmare. I wish I had a dedicated craft/wrapping/sewing room where it could all be beautifully arranged and displayed and easily accessed. Then I'd be in there every day being creative and having a wonderful time.

  33. NOT ONLY IS THE ORGANIZED IT IS SUPER CUTE!
