Organizing ribbon spools! :)

LOL NOW I have heard it all... Listening to the XM radio station, and they're playing a song called "General Hospi-tale" by the Afternoon Delights. It's kind of a disco-rap song that runs down all the dirt that was happening on General Hospital in the early 80s. hahaha They even mentioned Rick Springfield playing Noah Drake. It's cracking me up. (I don't care what anybody says... if he ever gave me the go-ahead, I'd probably jump him. LOL)

Anyway, back to the organization of the craft room... I've thrown away a ton of knitted and crocheted UFOs, which makes me a little sad, considering that one project had been a baby sweater for my nephew who is now 6 1/2. :( But I kept telling myself I'd feel better once I threw away those unfinished things, probably so that I can forget about them. )

It's not hurting quite so much now that they're in the trash. (The garbage BETTER be picked up tomorrow... if they skip my house again, I'm gonna be REALLY pissed off.)

Anyway, back to the mini milk crates and modular storage for my stuff. I realized that if I poked a dowel through the side, I could hang spools of ribbon on it in the middle of the crate, then run the other end through the other side. I put a big binder clip on the outer side so that the dowel wouldn't fall easily. Bonus: I was able to hang some cards of raffia on the dowel too, by enlarging the cards' hanging holes.

And I didn't have to buy anything extra to organize so far. (Well, with the exception of that new box of trash bags a while back. but that's a really good thing to have to buy. :D

I'm kind of scared to tempt fate by saying this, but I've got about half of the room fairly well sorted.

And now I'm starving. Those mandarin orange slices I ate a few hours ago are now gone from my tummy. I think I have earned some pizza from Papa John's. (Too bad there's not a Chinese restaurant that delivers.... I could really tear up some Szechwan or something...)
