Craft space : Part 1

I never show how I store and organize my craft stuff because I never did :p. But the other day, my elder sister is coming over our house to visit us during this festive season, so I need to do something to my space.

I was so busy actually because I already in my working mode - meaning fabric here and there. So I paused for one day and did some cleaning which is still half way done.

I bought a white Ikea LACK bookcase sometimes last year the moment I think I seriously need a space to store my stuff. This bookcase is good because it is simple, meaning I can organize it as creative as I can on the shelves.

See, simple huh?

These are some ideas how people organized their stuff using the LACK bookcase. All pictures are googled.

Since I am not ready to show the other 2 bottom shelves, I showed the 2 upper shelves :p . Basically I store books, patterns (folded), the stationery, embellishments, buttons, etc on the 2 upper shelves.
This is the upper shelves. I use old jars as well as Ikea spices jars to store buttons. I separate the buttons based on sizes. Some labels are put in the plastic canister also I got from Ikea. Lately I work a lot with lace *hint hint* so I have some of the laces in the cans (also from Ikea). They are colorful and when I bought them, I dont know what to put inside, later I know they are so useful to store all my little and beautiful craft items :).

Books I have are mostly Cucitos, Cotton Friends and some Japanese books. I am a bit slow with English patterns, because I hate reading instructions, unless for recipe. I am into diagrams and pictures when it comes to sewing.

The top pink book with elastic is my precious book. Inside I store all my sewing secrets ha ha ha.



The 2nd shelves is an easily accessible shelves where I put all the items I use everyday. Pens, paper scissors and some is my daughter's stuff like the ribbon headband I got from old blossom box store. Do you know when you venture into business, calculator is your best friend? :p

I think thats all I can share at the moment. And I will find some time to snap the bottom 2 shelves. That are the space where I store fabrics :p but Im not really sure whether to share my fabric or not because I dont have many as Zura has hehehehe.

Ok, I have something to do with my lil girl. Will share it here later. Bye :)
