There are still a few things to sort through. I'd like to divide up my beads from my tools and wires. Things like that. There is also a little wicker basket and that grey bag that need sorting. I might leave the grey bag as a catch all for mystery items though. Everyone needs a little messy spot.
So this weekend it looks like I'll need to head over to Canadian Tire to buy another 10 set of those awesome see through bins you see in the "after" picture. I think I paid $10 for the set. BF will love an excuse to hit up his favorite store of all time. These bins are perfect as I can easily find what I'm looking for without having to open them all up and peek inside.
I put all my paper, shipping and general office type supplies up top. I also kept a binder to keep all my supplier and customer orders organized. There's also a little spot for supply receipts.
The second shelf holds all my rice writing supplies and my beading things. I'll be happier with this shelf once I get those beads all sorted out. That way I'll be able to track what I have better. Clutter and excess is not good for my creative mind.
The third shelf houses my sewing supplies (fabrics, pins, patterns, etc), wool, and the bottom bin in the middle is a few random craft ideas that may come into play later on. Oh, I also have a bin there with my bottle cap magnet supplies. The sketchy grey bag and curious wicker basket are tucked along side.
The last shelf is for all my display pieces and my sewing machine. The towel wrapped piece is a thick hard sheet of metal I used to work with on hammering my sterling wire. Haven't done that in ages.
So there you have it. I have a few orders coming in the next few weeks of things I bought from suppliers to get me on my merry way to creating stock for my shop opening late April. I feel ready to get to work now. One more step in the direction of having my own little business set up. It will be a dream come true.
Wow!! Look at the difference!! You put a lot of work into that & it really shows!! :) great job!
ReplyDeletewow. What a difference! Good job.
ReplyDeleteIt's already paying off too! So happy I finally did it. BF started eyeing it up and commented on how much extra space "we" have now. I said "er, no.. it's still MY space". He is only allowed to take the one bin out that contains general office supplies and I made him promise to return what he takes out immediately lol!!!
