Fabric Storage, Oh my!

-
Happy Thursday!  Lorrie here, and I am pondering how to store my ever growing stash of fabric.  I have been a papercrafter for years and set up my room as a papercrafter.  I started sewing just a few months ago and now I am struggling with what to do with all of the fabric, interfacing, trimmings, etc. that have already started to gather. 

I turned to Pinterest for a few ideas. 
I love this set up by All People Quilt.  The fabric is covered so that it doesn't collect dust and it is protected from getting sun bleached.

or this idea from "Indulging My Creative Side" blog.  How gorgeous is this!  I would love to be able to see all of my fabric and have it organized like this beautiful set up.


I could look at fabric storage ideas all day.  It makes me happy to see all that yumminess just waiting to be used to create something beautiful. 

The problem I am having is my room is full of papercrafting supplies, which I am not ready to part with, I still papercraft. 

How do you incorporate new hobbies into to your craft space?  How do you store your fabric?  Leave us a comment.

Hey everyone!  It's Lorrie here.  Welcome to our very first Make it Monday!   We are super excited to share with you fun ideas throughout the week, but specifically on Mondays, we will be focusing on quick "Make It Monday" ideas that everyone can do. Today, let's talk SUCKERS! You heard me right.  Suckers! I can't tell you how excited I was to give this super, easy project a try.  All you need is some Starlight mints (you know the ones you always grab at restaurants, but rarely eat), some sucker sticks (I used Wilton Cake Pop Sticks), a cookie cutter and some cooking spray. Popsicle sticks will work, too! Start by spraying the inside of your metal cookie cutter with cooking spray (Pam Spray).  Place it on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone mat Then just unwrap enough candies to roughly fill in the inside.  I broke one candy piece to fill in any large gaps.  Place in the oven at 350 degree for approximately 8

Hello everyone!  It's another Weed It Wednesday!  Today, I wanted to feature weeding with cardstock!  When we talk "weeding" our minds automatically go to vinyl or iron on. But, check out the weeding on this Mother's Day Card I created in Design Space.  Using the correct Cricut mat and settings really help cut down on the weeding.  I prefer to use the Blue Medium Grip mat for cardstock and the cardstock setting for my favorite Cricut Cardstock. If you'd like to make to make this card, I"ve got a step by step tutorial for you:

Hello everyone!  It's another Thrive in your Hive Thursday.  Today, we are talking about craftroom organization.  We all create more efficiently when our craft rooms are organized.  However, organization is a very personal perference and depends on how your crafty mind thinks. Do you organize by color?  When you're crafting do you think... "I need something blue"?  You might be a color organizer.  This photo is from a Cricut event I went to.  It's organized by color.  Color is how I think and how I organize. Maybe you're a organizer by product?  Perhaps you keep all of your acrylic paints in one bin, and all of your stickers in another, and all of your embellishments in another, etc.?  Organization for you may look something like this: Perhaps you are inspired by themes such as Halloween, Christmas, Summer, Floral, Stripes, Polka Dots, etc.  You might organize like this: There are so many ways to organize!  My room is constantly evolving
