I need (yes… really, really need) to make some time to sew for fun.
Remember these?
I have now made a caddy for another beautiful grandaughter:
She is five years old now (she was 3 when the above photo was taken).
She will receive her own caddy from Grandma…maybe for Christmas…maybe sooner if I can’t wait that long.

Hubby and I have used old wooden crates to harvest our fruit, but now they are old and in rough shape. Nevertheless, I couldn’t bear to see them destined for the burn pit.
So I cleaned them up.
Hubby did some minor repairs.
I am spraying them with black paint and repurposing them.
This one is holding my collection of books on dyeing and painting fabric.
These crates could be used for any number of purposes…use to hold a wall display, or to corral those dog toys, or to hold your child’s stuffed animal collection, just to name a few.

Hubby built very sturdy shelving to hold my heavy collection of books, magazines and patterns. I sure appreciate him!
The shelving also holds baskets of UFOs, sewing notions and craft items.
And my M&M’s.
The built-in shelving displays my fabric stash. It is not folded on foam core, or comic boards…I’ll never be that consistent with my stash. But I do like it out in the open. And I wonder how did some of those pieces get here?
And the scraps? I have a dresser full.
I am considering Bonnie Hunter’s scrap user’s system, but I rather like running my fingers through them.
