Getting Organised!

Who knew working from home would be exciting, stressful, rewarding and messy :)

My house is a tip, my craft room is covered with fabric, zips, cotton, interfacing, more fabric, coffee cups, books, toys. You name it, it's in my craft room. Oh and can't forget the stupid cat who likes to sit on everything I am trying to work on.

So in an attempt to get organised I stumbled across a man who makes cotton reel holders from home. While The Man can probably make one himself it is easier sometimes to pay someone to do these things for me (I'm sure a lot of you ladies out there can relate)

It's not super flash, but I'm sure it will work. I haven't received it yet (just rememered to pay).



He only charged me $20 for this wee gem and it will hold 56 reels of cotton which will then be hung on my wall (probably high away from little fingers). Fingers crossed it's the first step to some organisation back in my life - haha yeah right!

If you are interested in one yourself, look for Woodwise on Felt. He will custom make it for you so just ask on one of his other listings.

These look like a great idea. I'm just getting into a bit of sewing. As my cotton collection grows so does the mess and tangle in the icecream container that i keep them in. I think I need one.

Thanks for that info Jo. I wanted a reel holder for my birthday, but didn't get one. Now I can order my own :-)

I am on what seems like an eternal quest to become organised... will it ever happen?

You look like you've made a great start :)

That looks like just what I need! Could you post some action shots when you have it up on the wall? I might have to order myself a wee Christmas present :P
