In the wonderful world of beads, it can be pretty easy to become overwhelmed (so many beads, so much wire, so many findings!), especially if you are just starting out. Here are some tips on how to organize all the beading supplies you have--and those you will acquire.
I couldn't resist this printers cabinet! I sold some things I kind of liked and bought this cabinet that I really like. My assemblage studio isn't heated so I squeezed this into the kitchen for now. It will be for my jewelry making supplies. Yes, I know I have a drawer problem. I told my friend Jill Shulse while watching Hoarders, one of our favorite pastimes, "I'm one of those organized hoarders. When I'm 80 my house will be lined with rows of cabinets with drawers. There will only be enough room to walk through the aisles. All my drawers will be labeled and if I like you I will let you look in them. LOL"! It fits perfectly in front of the mural that I painted on the walls years ago. Instead of standing on a door the rooster looks like it is standing on the cabinet. This is one of my drawers for "Inspiration" pieces. This drawer is for pearls and shells... One of the drawers waiting to be filled...

Our funny crafting signs are great decor for sewing rooms, craft rooms, she sheds, fabric storage rooms, crafting classrooms and businesses who serve crafters. Gift Ideas: These signs make great gifts for: ➥ Birthdays ➥ Housewarming ➥ Home remodels, renovations and makeovers ➥ Christmas and other holidays ➥ Mother's Day ➥ Gifts for quilters, seamstresses, sewing instructors and more Size Options: ➥ 4.25” x 11.5” (5.5” x 12.75” Framed) ➥ 5.75" x 15.5" (7” x 16.75” Framed) ➥ 11.5" x 31" (Framed option not available) How They are Made: Our metal signs are proudly made right here in the USA of premium, rust-proof aluminum, not flimsy tin. Each piece is: ➥ Printed with a matte finish and UV cured inks that protect the art from fading for up to two (2) years. ➥ .04” thick with rounded corners and holes drilled in all four corners for easy mounting. ➥ What you get is a delightful piece of art to adorn your wall! Note: Our signs do NOT come with screws or any other methods for hanging. How to Hang: There are endless ideas for how to hang/use our signs. Here are a few ideas: ➥ Screw the piece directly on to walls, wood and other surfaces. Tip: Use double-sided tape to help with placement before setting screws. (Screws & tape not included). ➥ Use standoff screws, which puts a spacer between the wall and the art for a more refined look (screws not included). ➥ For a more rustic look, find some reclaimed wood and cut it to size (about 1” larger on all four sides). Stain it to coordinate with your colors and then screw the sign onto the board. ➥ Attach an arrangement of signs and other items to a stained shipping pallet and hang that on your wall. ➥ Glue magnets to the back and easily attach the sign to anything metal (magnets not included). ➥ Use zip ties to attach the sign to another decorative item, such as a flag stand (zip ties not included).
