Organizing with the Cricut, Look What I did Tonight!

I am about to get into some serious sewing in the next few weeks. Besides Christmas I plan on sewing a bunch of items to put up on etsy to earn money to pay for my Zing.

Well the first thing I had to do before I can do any SERIOUS sewing, is to get a little more organized in the sewing space I have.

I have tons of those white pull out plastic bins, you see below, (I get them dirt cheap at yard sales  in the summer when I am selling ice cream in my ice cream truck. :).

They look a little yellowish in these pics, it is because of the indoor lighting, crappy picture. Even though they are semi see through, it is still hard for me to remember what I have put in them all.

So ooooo.... or should I say sew....... tonight I cut out chalkboard labels with bracketed edges. Now I can write in chalk on them what they contain, and can even change it easily as the drawers contents change.

The brackets are cut out of chalkboard contact paper. Don't ask me where I got it, I bought it quite some time ago, and can't remember where I picked it up. LOL>

Oh and as always I cut, designed and resized my brackets to fill a whole 12x12 mat, and used the small ones for smaller drawers and the big ones for the larger ones.






The bracket files are available in the gallery of the MTC software. Just search under bracket, not brackets. When I did the plural version it came up empty.

Never knew I could have fun organizing.

Til later,
Laurie

PS. Thanks, so much to the donations, I use them for my creative endeavors, that way I don't have to take funds from supporting the kids for my fun habits. :o)
You have know idea how much those donations are appreciated.
