Repeat after me, "Thou shalt not covet Kathy's craft room and organization skills!" I'm over here flying by the seat of my drawers, creating in chaos! :) Thanks for sharing!!
Hahaha...but, girl...you got it going on with your creative digital skills. You are an amazing artist, and I am so thankful to call you friend! Thanks for dropping by...wouldn't it be fun if it happened in real life? Hugs!
Thank you so much, Vickie! It really is my favorite room of the house, and I so enjoy the many hours I spend here. I'm constantly looking for ways to improve the use of the space. I enjoy that, too! Hugs!
Thank you for sharing your tips on ribbon storage! I also appreciate you showing us your craft room space! You have great space and it's nice to see where all the magic happens! Nice seeing you too! ❤️
Thanks, Lillian! I'll be sharing more as I am in the middle of another clean out and re-organizing phase. It is a process that never seems to end, but that kind of goes with my job. Thankfully, I have a retirement home just a few blocks from the house, and they are always thrilled to receive the items that I am clearing out. It works out nicely!
Hello, beautiful! I store a lot of my crafting supplies in things that I've bought at yard sales and thrift stores. I love all of your tips and tricks. Thank you for sharing. Big hugs!
I love this look into your craft room! You are well organized with so many creative ideas and use of products. I would love to see more storage ideas for paper, dies, stamps, embellishments or anything you feel you would like to share. Thank you for sharing your space.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Sandra! I'm planning to share more as I get things moved around and re-sorted. It's a never ending process, but I really enjoy it. Thanks so much for visiting me in my space! xo
Oh oh missed this one. What a great craft room you have Kathy! Love how you have all your ribbon organized. I know that if I can't see it, I'm not going to use it. Then when I don't want it, yup, I see it & it's too late because the project I was working on is done. Great job. Be well, be safe & TYFS
Wooooow, me ha encantado tú scraproom, és.... tú misma !!!, ordenado, imaginativo, alegre, luminoso...PRECIOSO !!!! Un abrazo fuerte desde Catalunya Kathy !!!! (Ahora cuándo vea tus vídeos, te ubicaré en ésta habitación preciosa)
Awww...thank you sweet friend! I am so glad you enjoyed my tour. My space is not fancy, but it is warm, welcoming and works the way I need it to. Thank you for visiting me here! Sending you a hug from North Carolina! xo
So smart you are! I love to see storage ideas, especially everything. I have been collecting "stuff" for 40 years and recently retired. Now I have boxes+boxes×boxes full of embellishments, silk threads, blank dominoes, etc., plus marvelous ribbons from the RRR club and now twine, strange playing cards....well you get the picture. There used to be clubs for crazy quilting, altered art, and such. What you have done with a 10×10 room is amazing and I would love to see the way you store EVERYTHING. You have already given me several great ideas and I guess what I would really like to see is how you store embellishments. A lot of different embellishments. Then perhaps you could show me what to do with a bunch of plain red dominoes!😊
Oh, yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed this segment. I am planning to do more of these organizational tours. It helps me get things sorted in my studio (a never-ending process) and I love sharing cost effective storage ideas, too. Sounds like you have quite the stash! I'll be sharing more soon, so stay tuned! And thank you!
Kathy, Thank you so much for this tutorial. So many great ideas . I was looking for something like this to help me with my paper crafting room. Very helpful. Vanessa
Hi, Vanessa! I'm so glad you found some tips you can use! Since everyone seemed to enjoy this segment so much, I believe I'm going to do more of these organizational videos moving forward, so stay tuned. Thanks for the sweet words, and thanks for visiting me in my studio!
Thank you so much, sweet friend! It seems to be a never-ending process. New stuff comes in and we have to purge out/re-organize the old. I keep on streamlining and hope to one day have things whittled down as beautifully as you do in your new studio. I loved your tour! I wish I had your gift for decorating a room. It's so beautiful! xo
I'm soooo glad I ran into this video! I am accumulating alot of ribbon and needed ideals on how to store them so I could see what I had. My baskets are not working very well since I have to dig to the bottom. Thank youuuu for these ideals!!!
You are so welcome, Mary! I'm thrilled that you found some tips and ideas in this video that you can use to help you get your ribbons sorted. It's so much easier to use them when you can see/find them! Thanks for the sweet words! Glad you found me! Crafty hugs!
Wonderful Craft Room Organization tips! I also, have lots of lace and ribbon and I really liked all of your ideas for this! I loved the idea for the thread spools! I even have a unit I can use for that! Why haven’t I already thought to do that! I’m looking forward to more of your craft room ideas! TFS - Crafty Hugs!
Hooray! You will love having your threads organized so you can see and use them. So glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks, Christal, for the sweet words! xo
I'm so happy to see your room Kathy, I think I watched one of yours from several years ago, around the time I found you. I love your use of your metal colander, and I have always wanted one of those HF metal multi section storage thingies, and they discontinued them before I was looking for them. I too am a huge vintage button collector, esp of the old white buttons. I have large containers of them. Your storage solutions work so well in your space, and love your window area too. Forgot to mention that I also wrap vintage laces, and ribbons around heavy cardboard and put them in those decorative storage boxes. my packages or RR ribbons, stay in their wrappers and I just add the year to them, and are also kept in pretty storage box.
Thanks, Jess! Sounds like you have found a wonderful way to organize and store your ribbon, too. I'm glad you enjoyed this little craft room organization vid. I think i will do more in the future, as many have requested ideas for storing paper, embellishments, etc. hugs!
@@kathyclementkathybydesign I'll be waiting! My craft room is a little larger, I think 10x11 or 12' and I have two windows on two walls, so that prevents full wall storage.
You are so welcome, Darlene! I know my room will probably never be featured in a magazine, but it is warm and welcoming and functions for me. I'd rather spend my $$ on more beautiful papers and supplies, so I'm very happy with my garage sale finds. LOL Thanks, friend!
Kathy, thank you so much for this video. It was wonderful to see where you make all the magic happen. I aspire to be even half as organized as you are. Thank you for all the wonderful tips like looking for storage containers at yard sales or second hand shops. On a side note I love that white cookie? tin with the little teapots on it. Also it was fantastic to see your beautiful face for a change! Hugs!💙💜💚
You are so welcome, my friend! It was fun sharing these ideas, and I will be doing more of these organization videos moving forward. I think y'all enjoyed it! Thanks for the sweet words!
I'll take any storage/organization help I can get! Why? Because during these last 3 pandemic years, I've become expert at taking things out and ordering new supplies...but I've become lazy and remiss at putting supplies away...great stuff is everywhere!! Can I find everything I've purchased? No. I've asked my son to plan a day or three of helping me to work on my storage room once our Fall rains begin. Yes, I can throw illness onto that pile of excuses, too. Because of not doing shows for these last 3 years, more has come in than has gone out. I really need to deal with all that surrounds me! So! Time to refocus and reorganize! Thank you for all your suggestions and help, Kathy!!
Oh, I hear you, my friend! It's so easy to get overwhelmed with all the "stuff." I literally clean up between each and every project. Papers are all organized in a such a way that I know right where to find them and put them back when I am done. My best advice? Choose one little area each day and put in 15-20 minutes on just that area. It's amazing how much you can get done in those short spurts of organizing. I wish I lived close by. I love to organize and we could chat together while we work. I hope you are doing well! Hugs!
Thank you for your words of wisdom backed with experience and the creative joys of paper crafting! I didn't realize not being able to find a specific item could be so frustrating, but it is! First my energy will have to go into getting over Covid...bad timing in so many ways. Such is life...@@kathyclementkathybydesign
@@antm64 Sometimes we have to give ourselves time to heal. Green tea will help with the energy issue and will also help with general health and wellness. My mom used to say, "Yard by yard life is hard, but inch by inch it's a cinch." Start small, set up systems to help you stay organized and set reasonable goals. It takes a while to tame the clutter. Enjoy the process. And I hope you are feeing stronger every day! Hugs!
This afternoon I literally lost a finished tag that was supposed to go into a pocket on a card...searched all around my work table to no avail...figured it would be less frustrating to just create another one! "Reasonable goals" is an interesting phrase. Covid really sapped my energy, but things are getting better...still can't smell or tase anything. I'm no longer a Covid virgin.@@kathyclementkathybydesign
@@antm64 Praying your strength and your sense of smell and taste return quickly, my friend! Maybe start with just getting your desk cleared off? It's the equivalent of, in the kitchen, getting the dishes done and the sink cleared out. Wish I could help!
Hi, Esther! yes....I've been doing this since 2007, blogging since 2013, so I have quite the stash. I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my storage solutions. Thanks so much for visiting me in my studio today! Hugs!
Thanks for sharing your craft room. My craft room is the same size and it is so hard to get desks and storage all into one room. But you did a great job. Thanks for the inspiration new subscriber
Hello, IndieAnnie! So happy you found my channel! Glad you found some ideas in this studio tour. It IS hard to fit everything into a smaller room, but I have found I really like being in this smaller space. It's cozy! Have fun getting your room in order and thanks for the lovely comment and for subscribing!
Thank you, Kathy! I'm still keeping my ribbon on the spools, stored by color, in cardboard nursery flats and I'm running out of space! Do the ribbons need to be ironed after being wrapped?

Paper storage. Thanks for sharing, I too have an old kitchen table for my craft table. I love the sewing drawers.
Thanks, Lila! Yes...paper storage is definitely on the list! I'll share soon! Hugs!

Thank you, Kathy! I'm still keeping my ribbon on the spools, stored by color, in cardboard nursery flats and I'm running out of space! Do the ribbons need to be ironed after being wrapped?
Hi, Marilyn! That has not been a problem for me so far. I don't wrap them super tight, and I think that helps. Great question!!!
