It’s finished (when it dries!)
It took days, but I didn’t have to buy a thing.
I had the paper, the glue and the spray paint. Amazon supplied the box. I was pleased to see that the box came from Carolina Container in High Point, NC! I was still shipping (shopping) local!
The ribbon trim still had it’s 75 cent Hancock Fabrics Clearance sticker. I am not a hoarder. I am an investor!”
2 shelves, 3 cabinets, 6 hours!
‘Too much stuff!!!! I have got to keep organizing! I can’t find anything!!!!!!
That handbag file will store my Miche Bag covers. Miche sells an organizer, but they cost about three times what this one did. The flip flop file is for my growing crazy quilt stash. They are both from Amazon.
And here’s a tip: If you need to move a very heavy box on hardwood floors, flip a throw rug upside down. Walk the box onto the rug and slide it wherever it needs to go!
My collection has grown, and I’ve ordered another “file.”
I’ve not been very crafty lately. The week before her 80th birthday, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. For the last 7 weeks, she and I have been traveling to Boone, NC, for her radiation treatments. On weekends, I’ve traveled to Charlotte, to help my daughter with my grandson. I did cut out some foundations for Bible covers one afternoon, but I’ve not lifted a needle. I have pinned many crafty things on Pinterest and watched some quilting videos, but that’s about it. Mama’s last treatment was yesterday, and she’s doing very well, so I spent the day, today, working on the master bedroom closet.
My recently purchased craft desk came with wire baskets for drawers. The openings were larger than I like, so I’ve been replacing them with mesh baskets. The wire baskets fit and coordinate well with the wire shelving in the closet, so I’ve been using them to replace the old paper boxes I use to house out of season clothes. I’d love to install a custom closet system, but this will do just fine for now.
I got my storage cubes for the attic craft space assembled. Two of them are these open cubes I turned on end and left the backing off. That way they “frame” my speakers and I don’t have to cut holes for the wires. They are by Foremost and I ordered them from Staples. I like this brand because they are light enough in the carton for me to carry them upstairs, they are easy to assemble, and the particleboard is soft enough to drive a screw in with a normal screwdriver if the drill battery is dead. The drill sure speeds things up, though.
