Pinned again

Storage and display are two things that I both like, and at times am annoyed that I don't have enough of either!  I'm constantly organizing and reorganizing as I go to find the best way to keep my materials, see my materials, and use my materials.  If money were no object I would have a bigger house that had a room dedicated to my sewing... heck, I would have a whole wing of a house dedicated to all my crafting loves... but money is an object, of which we rarely have a ton of extra laying around.

Until money magically starts fallin from the sky right into my pocket, my sewing/crafting is in our master suite.  After much discussion and measuring, and thinking and rethinking, really the best (and only) option was one wall in our room.  Well, part of a wall, our dogs and their beds ended up with about a third of the wall...

Anyway, one of my pin boards is craft room inspiration, and I regularly find neat and new ways to keep things... but with life so busy lately I really haven't been able to implement anything until today!  I needed to run to the craft store for something, and I have a 20% off my entire purchase coupon... so I went browsing to see if I could find those cool curtain hangers... the loops with the little clips!  SCORE!  They are perfect for hanging fabrics from!  Right now I have the fabrics I've been using for the earbud pouches hanging.  It makes it so easy to grab, cut and then rehang!

Bargains

I love bargains! I love sales! I rarely buy things anymore (non food related) that aren't on sale. Basically, we rarely actually NEED something right away. I have the time to wait till it goes on sale, before I purchase it... or wait for that great coupon to spring up somewhere.

That being said... I did need little D-rings to finish up a bag I'm working on so that I can get it up on my Etsy shop. This meant I needed to stop by Hobby Lobby to pick up a package... and next to the notions is the bin where they put in all the remnants or returned fabric. Okay, if you have a thing for fabric, we all know you can't not stop and pick through it to see if there is something in there that you just can't leave! The prices are usually a dollar or two... come on... you have to look... To be honest nine times out of ten, I don't see anything that I want. NOT TODAY... I hit the mother load as it were!

So what would have been a $3 purchase for the D-rings, turned into a $12 purchase for D-rings, and 4 fabrics! SCORE!!!
