Organization

How do you keep your crafting/sewing/knitting organized?

For me, ziploc or resealable baggies are a main factor. I have a lot of seed beads that I buy the teeny bags to hold and I use big freezer bags for yarn scraps and for storing patterns. However, things are still in disarray. Help?

I'm a soaping fool

I've been making soap like a maniac these past few weeks. It's so much fun! I'd thought I'd post some pictures of my little soap babies. The oatmeal one I tried rebatching (remilling) with the olive oil soap - don't know if I'd do it again. I made a coffee soap today which is supposed to be good for getting the smell of onions and garlic off your hands.

hi! i am in need of some creative help.

being the mushy girlfriend i am, i have written a bunch of sentences about the little things i love about my boyfriend ("i love the way you make me laugh", "i love your eyes", etc.). now i need some way to present all of these little sentences. i thought about writing each one on a strip of paper like you'd get in a fortune cookie.. but then i'm not sure what to do with all of the strips. i currently have about 100 of these sentences.

any creative ideas? help!
