That's a very nice cart! I keep all my stuff in big clear plastic bins in the closet, organized by category/item (fabric, floss, beads, projects, etc). Lots of smaller bins and bags inside. It's not pretty, but it keeps the light, dust, and cats away.
I'd like a cart for current projects. That would be nicer than pulling out my bins all the time. :)
Oh, one thing I do that's helped me with floss is break it into separate groups for storage. Mine are roughly in sets of 200s by dmc number. More empty space in the containers, but less annoying to shift when I buy new colors.
I was very happy to find the cart on sale for $30 at the craft store! I even added a little hook on the side for my rulers! Before this everything just kind of stayed precariously balanced on a little table and was constantly getting knocked over by the car lol
Good idea for the rulers. That's a great find for $30!
My cats have a magnetic attraction to everything they shouldn't touch. They will stay off my desk for weeks, but are always around as soon as any thread or yarn comes out...
@catsdoingcatstuff @MrJameGumb Especially while winding Bobbins so the can get tangled up in a free end...
