Operation: Fancify Desk

As of today, my daughter is 6 years old. I saved one of her old formula cans and have been using it to store a couple of my crafting supplies. The other day it occurred to me I should at least make it pretty as I do have to look at it everyday. Also, my crafting/work desk in in my master bedroom and I do not need any eyesores :) I painted it with white acrylic paint and lined the top and bottom with ribbon and rhinestones after a coat of glaze. I am very happy with how it turned out. 

It's all about the simple things :) 

Love. Peace. Happiness.

Accomplished :)

It took a little while but I'm done! So happy and the floss looks absolutely gorgeous lined up showing it's the bright colors :) 

I did have more than I originally anticipated and wound up using both the box and its lid however, I am not complaining. I have exactly what I need and am ecstatic to not have to suffer through any tangles along the way. 

In love with all the colors but, I must admit I am very partial to the blues and greens :)

Love. Peace. Happiness.

Organizational WIP #1

It's been quite some time since my last post. One of the main reasons, besides uncontrollable life roller coaster events, is lack of organization on my part. I have the inspiration, the materials, the ideas, and the skills; yet lack the organization. 

I am making the conscious choice to organize one step at a time and in turn increase my productivity. This is definitely a step in the right direction for me and today is day one. 

Above you see my embroidery / craft floss collection. I have been storing it in a large freezer bag. Although this helps to keep everything together, it not very functional for when i need to use it. I have an old, durable box in the house that wasn't serving much of a purpose so i am repurposing it to store my floss. This will be very useful in keeping the floss tangle free and easy to access. 

So far, the winding process is slow yet relaxing. I am focused on the benefits, and it is making me happy.

Love. Peace. Happiness.
