A Little IKEA Trip

I headed off to IKEA last night in search of some of the orange cat fabric I have seen online.  

I managed to snag a few yards for myself and for my friend.  

It is kind of a light weight canvas.  

It would be great for bags or for outdoor cushion covers.

These bees were kind of cool too.

As I was walking out I saw everyone's favorite cart and say WHATTTTT???? 

 Look at those magnetic bins attached to the sides!!!  

One more way to increase storage without increasing the footprint in my sewing room!  

I always seem to have little "things" that need a home.

I wasn't keen on the food pics, but they come out and the top is clear.  

This way you can see inside the bin.  

Or I suppose you could make a photo and put it on the cover too.

Another thing I do in my room to maximize the space utilization is put my mini ironing board 

on top of my cart.  

It's handy and it is movable.  I

 even recovered the board with the metalic reflective peel and stick ironing board cover material. (made by Bo Nash and you can find it here) 

I love using this! 

 Easy to change and multiplies the heat.

Another space saver is a shoe holder that fits over the door.  

I use it on the back side of my door in my sewing room.  

It's a great place for me to keep things like cards, floss, tule, and bits and bobs that are too big for those canisters and not used frequently but I can never seem to find otherwise! 

 LOL.

As I was taking photos in my room, Hallie was "helping".  

You can tell the difference between her and Autumn as Autumn is a little bit of a thing and 

Hal is a chubba wubba.  

HAHA, I love my calicos!

Enjoy your weekend and make time to do something that makes you happy!
