I’m so proud of myself. Genius…at least for now.
If you listen to my podcast you may remember me talking about the sticky problem of how to store my quilt retreat/class/travel bags in a way that would help keep them from getting covered in dust and dog hair. There’s no closet in this room so everything is open storage. I’d had an idea that I could use the hanger rod on the bottom shelf of my fabric stash to hang them up—out of the way but easy access.
Bingo—it works!
The purple polka dot bag is huge so it’s particularly helpful that I could fold it in half with the clips on the hanger. At some point, one or more of these bags may end up filled with things so I am ready to grab and go—which would make the hanger solution a little more difficult. But for now, I’m happy.
I have more pant hangers so I could also hang up flimsies (UFO completed tops waiting to be quilted) if I wanted to reclaim some shelf space. I’m still monkeying around with that. But for now, I’m feeling pretty good about this!
The blue bin is my batting storage and, of course, a few empty project boxes waiting to be filled. Still moving bins around too so those may end up getting used somewhere along the way. When the kids were out of the house, I stored extra bins in one of their closets. I miss those closets. Sigh.
Well, now I’ve whittled around the edges enough that I really have to take on the desk dismantling. That’s really going to throw me for a loop for a couple of days until everything gets re-settled, so I’m procrastinating.
