Craft-Computer-Office Room

I finally did it!!! Organizing my stuff. :) The first two cabinets I bought, books, patterns, kits, beads, finishing items, buttons, charms, pillows, cross stitch material. Needed one more cabinet. Two just wasn't enough! LOL!

Mill Hill beads. Bought this container at Jo Anne's for $15.00. Found the same thing at Wal-Mart for $9.00. Could have kicked myself for getting them at Jo Anne's!

Rainbow Gallery and Kreinik threads.

My DMC collection. I now have my rayons with my cottons, which will make it easier to pull rayon when I want to change things up. :)

Cabinet #3! Sewing material and other sewing items, frames, threads and beads.

Another trip to get one more container. This is all of my magazines. I don't have a lot, but now they will be easy to find.

Now for a look around my Craft-Computer-Office Room... Three cabinets and containers have finished seasonal cross stitch pieces in them and one for Dara's scrapbook items.

Computer-Office area, with a few cross stitch items that need to be fixed.

Sewing area has two places for the cats to hang out. Container has cross stitched seasonal pieces in them. I still need to work in this area so I can sew and repair a few things.

When I get a new dinning table, I plan to bring in the old table for the craft room.
