Hello, hello!
Hope y’all had an awesome week! I bought this adorable industrial-style cart from Walmart. I’m seriously lovin’ it! It’s perfect for this space.
Eventually, I’ll get my sewing machine in here again and that’ll of course go on top of this little cart. In the meantime, here it is all filled up.
The two bottom baskets are full of fabric for various projects I’m working on. I was planning to make the little guy a rag quilt and this was the fabric I picked out for it. The lime/aqua/navy matches his space.
The next two baskets are ribbon, fiber, & thread organized by color family in 13×15 Clear Zipper bags. These are the same bags I use to organize my kits & collections. Love them!
And the top two baskets are full of scrap fabric, trim, and yarn.
What do you think? Isn’t it awesome that everything has a place of its own now?

We all make mistakes when it comes to our creative spaces. Some of us just happen to make more than others. I’ve definitely made my fair share of them over the years. I love to shop and I love to organize, which always seems to get me into trouble. Coupons make for some pretty powerful persuasive tools, don’t you think? I mean, c’mon… 40% off? Sign me up! So, it sounds like maybe you’re having a hard time getting your workspace organized. Maybe, you’re frustrated because you have too much stuff and not enough space. You might even think your creative space is a lost cause altogether. Or you think you know what you want, but you’re really not sure. Either way, you’re overwhelmed. So you’re definitely a creative person and you’ve got this space, right? And this space just happens to be overflowing with paint and ribbon and paper and beads.
I’m sure you’ve always dreamed of having the perfect studio, one where each and every piece of furniture matches and while we’re at it, all of your organization is awesome. Let’s not forget the $500 rug you fell head over heels for. I love having separate workspaces for each thing I do. That’s just how I think. My brain neatly compartmentalizes things into categories. For me, that looks a little something like this. Please keep in mind that this isn’t an all-inclusive list. I’m just trying to give to an idea of what my sorting process might look like.

This week, I thought it would be fun to talk about how I organize all the small things in my creative space. So let’s take a tour inside all of the many baskets and bins I’ve collected over the years and see what’s where at the moment. This is by no means everything, but it at least gives you an idea. So many of y’all asked for a condensed summer version of the 52 Weeks to an Organized Workspace challenge. And let’s face it, sometimes getting in there and getting things done really is the way to go. After all, isn’t the whole point to make stuff and not spend all your time organizing it? When I was organizing my creative space a few years ago, I spent endless hours on Pinterest looking for ideas and inspiration. I created a half-dozen or so boards filled with all of the latest and greatest organizational finds. Anything and everything I thought I could ever possibly want got pinned. And you know what? I still love looking at all of those amazing creative spaces. Do you have too much stuff and too little space? Are you frustrated and overwhelmed with your creative space? It happens and I’m willing to bet there aren’t too many of us who haven’t been there and done that.
After all, that’s why we’re always rearranging and reorganizing. We’re constantly finding new and better ways of doing things… or in this case, organizing things. Check out these 12 awesome must-see hacks for organizing your craft room. A few years ago, I shared the 5 Biggest Mistakes I Made When Organizing My Creative Space. Needless to say, that post has quickly become number one. I’m talking hundreds of thousands of page views. Clearly, I’m not the only creative mama who needs a little bit of help with this.Craft Room Organization Hacks for Creative Mamas

Love the look of wire baskets in the craft room! I’m constantly looking for new ways to organize. This seems nice and compact, and I love that it’s on wheels. And from Walmart?? :O How convenient.
