** Easy Organizing Finds **

Having a proper sewing table can save you back aches later and make doing your sewing a comfortable activity. You don’t want to be reaching awkwardly for your sewing machine as well as waste time hunting for your accessories. And you want a table that you can pull your chair toward and put your feet under. This Sewing Center pictured to the left has those accommodations.

This sewing center has a three-position lift mechanism that provides ample work surface while sewing. And it provides storage of your machine from view when not in use. The lift mechanism allows you to sew flatbed, free-arm at any height and store your sewing machine easily.

For storing your sewing accessories, use the four drawers, four notion trays and the recessed compartment on top workspace.

Learn to love sewing again by getting comfortable while you’re doing it!

If you use spools of ribbons for crafts or for decorating and wrapping presents, you probably have two problems. One is when you throw your ribbons into a box you have to dig through it to find the one you want. And the second problem is you have all of these miscellaneous ribbon spools unraveling and tangling on each other.

The solution is to organize them on a Ribbon Organizer that allows you to see all of your spools of ribbon at a glance and to neatly retrieve that ribbon.

This hanging ribbon organizer meets those criteria. It’s wire so you can see every ribbon spool placed side-by-side on it. Plus it has plenty of space for storing multiple spools of ribbon—three rows.

Hang it on the wall above your craft or gift wrapping center where you’ll see it when you need it.

I love this Toy Storage Bench because of just what the name implies: It’s a multifunctional piece of furniture. Any furnishing that’s multifunctional immediately saves space in your home and is practical.

In this case your child could store her dolls or stuffed animals in the three bins below the bench and actually use the bench as a play surface with them. Or she could store books in the bins and sit on the bench to read them.

The removable toy boxes are light-weight so your kids can pull them out easily. And you see that the storage bins have those side handle spaces so your kids can carry them to another play area or work space.

And at the end of the day, all toys, books, arts and crafts or whatever just gets dropped back into the bins and hidden under the bench. That means you actually could keep this toy storage bench with bins in the family room even because it’s easy to clean up toy messes and hide stuff away from the view of guests in just seconds.

The Wicker File Box is ideal for the family or individual that keeps only a small amount of paperwork at home and doesn’t require a large home office space.

You can put a dozen or more letter size hanging folders into this file box. And the wicker makes your filing look pretty. In other words, it disguises it! It looks like you have a piece of home decor and not an ugly office supply item in your home.

You could then store this wicker file box, or multiple wicker file boxes if you really do have a lot of files, on open shelving in any room of your home. The lid keeps the dust out. And the handles make it easy for you to carry your files to  your kitchen table or couch when you’re ready to work on them.

If you do have multiple wicker file boxes and trouble remembering what’s in them, just put a discreet label on them. You could attach some pretty hanging labels with string to the outside of the box. Or stick a label on the inside bottom of the lid.

This Expand-A-Shelf is perfect for holding spices or other can goods, even medicines or vitamins, in your kitchen cabinets or pantry. Because the shelving is tiered you can see every item label at a glance—even items in the very back of the shelf.

In our home we use a wire expand a shelf with three tiers in a kitchen cabinet to hold spices, small bottles of vanilla, cinammon, salt, pepper, etc. It works wonderfully. But this shelf is even better because it expands to fit your closet.

This expand a shelf is sure to fit your kitchen cabinet because of its dynamic size; It expands from 13 inches to 25 inches wide. Other dynamic or static sizes of the expand a shelf are available here too.

Do you or your children like to do jigsaw puzzles but don’t finish them in one day? Instead of leaving the pieces spread all over your kitchen table or a corner of the floor, use a Jigsaw Roll-Up like the one pictured to the left.

The pieces cling to the felt of the jigsaw puzzle roll-up. Then you roll it up and secure it with a band.

These jigsaw puzzle roll ups come in both a small and large size.

After changing jobs and lifestyles I left some beautiful dresses and suits hanging in one of my closets for months untouched. To my dismay when I went to retrieve one months later, I found the shoulders covered in grime and discolored. I could have prevented this damage to my expensive clothing by using these inexpensive Shoulder Hanger Covers .

When you’re storing out of season clothes in your bedroom closet, or even special occasion clothing, dust tends to collect on the shoulders of these items. So before you push those out of season clothes to the far end of the closet, cover each garment with a vinyl shoulder cover.

These shoulder covers are see-through so they make viewing those items easy too if you do need to grab one off season. The vinyl shoulder covers easily slip over the hanger.

What easier way to garden and store your tools than to have them all clustered together on one cart. And make that cart mobile so you can easily push it from the garage or storage shed to the deck or backyard.

This Rolling Garden Tool Cart has holes to hold your large tools such as rakes and hoes. But it also has pockets on the side to hold items like gardening gloves or those small hand tools you use in the garden.

If you use electrical tools, there is even a space to store and wrap a long extension cord too.

Women like purses. I know. I am one. If you like to change handbags as often as you change outfits, then you need one or more purse organizers. This Purse Organizer holds eight of your handbags.

Because it’s translucent, you can see each purse at a glance.

And best of all the vinyl pockets keep dust from collecting on your purses.

Hang this purse organizer over a regular size clothes hanger in your closet or even on the back of a door.

If you use recipe cards in the kitchen (and you use the recipe card protectors sold in the last post to keep them clean), you can place the recipe directly next to where you’re working. Do so with this handy clear Acrylic Recipe Card Stand. It has a gravity ball holder to hold your recipe in place while you’re cooking.
