organization happiness

I've been meaning to do this little job for a long time.

Before: Disorganized scrap chaos.

During:

After: Organized eye candy, lovingly folded and easily accessible.

Ok, so these make up just a portion of my scrap collection (which I know I have talked about before)--the fabrics I can make jewelry cases with. My even smaller scraps present another challenge....more on that tomorrow!

happiness is...

a new notebook!

inspiration

This sister has an amazing collection of inspiration binders. That's right, I said "collection" of binders. That's more than one. I myself have just one inspiration binder, and it is only in its infant stage.

The goal is to reduce my massive collection of magazines to one amazing book-o-greatness.
Time to start clipping!

I don't know though...Sunset might be a keeper as-is. Love that mag!

back to the crochet love.

One day I was learning to crochet. The next thing I knew, I needed an organizer for my crochet hooks! What's a hobby without a cute way to store the supplies? I made the crochet hook case above for myself. Then I made a bunch for my shop!

Organization Love!

Button Box

Things have been super super SUPER busy. I did manage to have a bit of fun with organization though. Check out my new button box!

Yeah - I know - I need more buttons. I aspire to this, my Auntie Chris's button collection:

If a little bit of color sorting can't make a girl feel better, what will?

Rearranging

The new shelf is up! I didn't even have to assemble it myself (thanks to Jamie). I spent a good chunk of the day cleaning out all of my junk & rearranging the good stuff. Yay!

I'm a little obsessed with making my space efficient and organized (this also applies to my classroom)... Apparently, though, there are other like me out there. Check out these sweet Flickr groups if you share the love:

Is it the weekend yet?

Have I mentioned that I am a teacher? Have I mentioned that there are 17 1/2 days of school left?? ...not that I'm counting or anything. I'm SUPER excited for the summer because I've never taken a summer off before. I always get some other job. So this summer it's just going to be 24/7 crafting. Gaaaa...I can't wait!!

I had a bit of a shopping spree the other day. Look what I got!

Also I went to Ikea today (torture) and got a sweet new set of shelves so I can organize my fabric chaos. Seriously, it looks like a fabric bomb exploded in my apartment. Good thing I have such a KIND, LOVING, and UNDERSTANDING sister/roommate (are you reading sissy?)! The weekend to-do list is full of sewing, organizing, and cleaning projects. Perhaps a more appropriate title for this post is "Is it SUMMER yet?" 17 1/2 more days. 17 1/2 more days.
