Craft Nook

[ufo8mykat.livejournal.com]

Hiya,

I've been watching/replying to the community for a few weeks. The ideas are great! I especially like the Nintendo blanket, the tile/grout $5 table, The zip pencil pouch composed entirely of zippers, the Origami envelope (I *love* Origami)...

I'm not so good at dreaming up crafts, but I love learning how to make them, for when the occasion arises. Origami gift boxes and envelopes are particularly useful, to store your smaller gifts (like jewelery) in them.

I'm moving in with my mother soon after good fortune has brought us together. We'd like to have a craft nook of sorts, for painting, sewing, and everything in between. But, I don't know how to design it! I have a lot of room, but I'd like to contain it a little bit, just to keep a designated okay-to-mess area. I already have a square wood table with shelves inside for storage. What do you suggest for keeping things organized, but still available? I hate having to dig in six different places just to get that one piece of string that I hid 2 years ago...

Thoughts?
