I've sorted all my double knitting yarn into colour groups and put them in pretty storage boxes on a new shelving unit in the spare bedroom.
To distinguish the different boxes, today, I've made labels so that I can locate the colour I need swiftly.
Rather than write on the labels I thought it would be fun to glue on coloured buttons.
So now I'm feeling very smug and organised.
It's debatable whether or not I can keep this resolution going beyond the end of January, but for the time being it's going well!
What a good idea. I love the button labels too. I have a very bad system for sorting my wool. Baskets contain (a) pastel baby shades except white (b) white (c) all blues and greens (d) everything else in a really big box. It is driving me a bit potty, as I am making something with a lot of colours, and have to keep diving into the everything else container.
ReplyDeleteI'm always striving to be more organised... not there yet! Loving your idea of using the buttons :) xx
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! I always give it my best shot, and then within a couple of weeks of "organizing" I end up with another really big mess...in fact I have laundry baskets full of laundry in the middle of my craft room that need to be put away...I need to get it cleaned up again so that I can get in there and start on some quilting projects. Ah the joys of being a crafter
