You see, I'm in the process of emptying out a large cabinet in the craft room annex. The cabinet holds (held) all the crafty things that hadn't found homes yet in my newly trying-to-stay-organized craft room, so to go through it meant some serious triage.
I tossed a lot of loose stuff, filled some new storage cubes with miscellaneous inks, miscellaneous tools, WTH-do-I-have-so-many envelopes, miscellaneous embossing powders and colored pencils, etc. The stuff that landed on my desk is stuff I'm keeping in the frontal lobe of my brain, and plan to store it ... somewhere in there.
Let's look at the stuff. First, we have this pile:
These are mostly brads and eyelets, and some googly eyes. I have a library card catalog I use to store all my brads and eyelets, so most of these will go live in there. I think I have a drawer for googly eyes, too. Am I the only one that can never find them so I buy more? Also, did you notice the sock money brads. Uh-huh.
Next pile:
Needles, clear plastic dot things, marbles (for rolling in ink to make pretty things), metal bells, bunny tail pom-poms, thermometers (don't even ask).
And the last pile:
Lots of backs for making pins, more needles, and some really heavy hardware charms.
Once I find homes in my craft room for all this stuff, I'll see the top of my desk again. I have a ton of challenges I'd like to play, so hopefully that will happen soon. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
