Getting Organized

*I started this post Sunday but since my internet quit working on me,

it is being posted a lot later than originally planned!!!

I feel like getting my home organized is an ongoing project especially with having a cute one year old that loves to demolish everything in site:). I am trying to get things done all the time, but part of the reason of why it does not always happen is because I lack the organization that is necessary. So this week, my goal is to get my crafts organized, which will get my house more organized in turn. I will have to share the before and afters (I have to get the projects done first!) but I think that the results will be pretty amazing. I live in a two bedroom home. It was built after World War II, and the rooms are not huge. Before Collin came along, my craft area was his room. This is no longer realistic (obviously) so the kitchen has become my crafting space. I have a big whit cupboard with lots of shelves, but the shelves do not lend themselves to organization. So I am going to make 6 of these to get me where I need to be.

 

The tutorials can be found here and here. 

These will be perfect for the cupboard's cubby space. I can put my fabrics, notions, and so much more in these really cute fabric baskets.

 

And I will be making a few of these to get Collin's toys and books a little more organized.

I think I will make a goal to have them done in the next two weeks (or later if life happens, so to speak!!!) I am also going to be doing a little bit of fun sewing (to get the Etsy shop up and running along with other projects) 

and I may just have to make one of these. 

Now these come from Anthropologie and have nothing to do with organization really

It comes in the full version and the half apron too!

I think I would do EVERYTHING domestic in these cute little charmers. But for $24-$38 I think I will make my own. I was going to just figure the pattern out (aprons are very easy), but imagine my joy that while looking for fabric baskets patterns I should stumble upon a how-to for this cute ruffled apron. Over at One More Moore you can find some very cute how-tos, this one included.

This version does not have a top (just a bottom apron) so I think since I am in no ways a clean cook, I will be adding the top piece. If you do not know how to sew, 

this is a great place to start. So easy and really fun.
