Sewing Closet Redo: The Cabinet

I have a pretty great hubby dubs. He built this cabinet for me. Doesn't it look great! It give the closet a fantastic built in look and provides a bunch of storage for my bulky fabrics. The top drawer is shorter than the bottom two, making it perfect for all those sewing notions that I need, but don't use often. Like elastic and Velcro. The wheels lock so I can open the drawers without pulling the cabinet halfway across the room. I just love it. He built it in the same style as our nightstands. In my head this provides continuity in our house. I don't know that anyone else really cares about that. Oo la la! I can slide it out from under the desk so I still have that workspace and can access my fabric storage in the wings of the closet. But, wait... SHAZAAM! That, my friends, is a drop leaf extension. I wanted a drop leaf in the closet but unfortunately it just wouldn't work out. We talked through a bazillion plans ...

How to Shop: Harbor Freight

Ladies, the next time your man asks if you want to go to Harbor Freight (or any other hardware/tool store) you should say, "Why, yes, honey! I would love to!"

If you haven't ventured into the hardware store to find items you can use in your craft room then you're missing out. Harbor Freight has a reputation for being cheap. And they are. And sometimes you get what you pay for. However, sometimes you find some gems. General rule of thumb: if it needs to be precise, buy it elsewhere. Before we begin, these are in no particular order or organized in any way. I also have no idea how prices compare to other stores. Pictured below: self gripping hangers, black Velcro, 18" magnetic bar, stretch wrap. The self gripping hangers are great if you need a spot to hang things but don't have the room or layout for a tensio...

Soul Searching

Yes, I do still exist. And I'm about to open up and share some things about myself with you and maybe help someone else in the process. I've been kind of lost lately and not real sure what I want to do with this whole sewing/craft business and blog thing. Two things have been working against, but ultimately for me. 1. I've been listening to entrepreneur podcasts to help keep me motivated, give me direction, and learn how to market my product. 2. I have a wide variety of interests and several skill sets that I want to develop. Why are these two things working against me? The entrepreneur advisers all advise on working on one item. One. I'm all over the map right now. I'm doing home projects/décor, small craft projects, sewing, embroidery... everything. I feel like I'm doing everything. And because of that, I'm doing nothing. Why? I'm a big introvert and get overwhelmed easily. That overwhelm leads to paral...
