Trim it Up!

I'm still organizing and cleaning. I have used this crate in my craft room for lots of things. I decided to redo it to hold all of my trims.
 I measured and cut little wood slats and hot glued them to the sides. That way I can always change my mind.
 I used cereal box cardboard to wind the trims. Some of them have the original cardboard.
 I organized them by color, and kept the fancy trims separate.Trims and rick rack are so pretty to look at!
 Now I can see them all at one glance and pull the ones I need. I had to redo them, because I've gotten alot of trims from my Aunt and couldn't fit them in my box any more. It's like a little library shelf full of trims.
Here's my finished embroidery. I decided to to frame it in a hoop.

Embroidery pattern purchased from this wonderful website.Sarah Jane has the cutest projects and fabric.
Now this little corner is done.


I can check that off my list. We're holding off on the garden corner until next weekend. We're supposed to get some big storms over the next day or two. Hope you are having some nice spring weather. Enjoy!

  12. You've got a wonderful craft room and your newest addition is perfect! Your embroidery piece is adorable. I finally finished the embroidering the top of one of my redwork pillowcases and hope to get it stitched together so I can start on its mate. Summer is coming (I hope) and I know I won't be spending too much time indoors when that happens. You've got quite a collection of trims!

  13. A great idea for the pop crate! I have eyed the old wooden soda boxes at antique stores but sadly, they are 18.00 or a piece so I haven't gotten one yet. What a beautiful display, now to use some of it, eh?
