[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 12/6/17

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

People might find a small purse with compartments, like Cathy described, at Walmart.
I also like their large colored pencil cases.  I can put almost anything in one.
Also at Walmart, I found a mini back pack, whitch  I use for supplises, too.
I like a plastic box that snaps closed for my stitch markers and needle protecters.
You will never guess what I put my needles in!
I use a quilted change purse!
My sizzors also go in there.

Hello Nella and all,
One unusual thing I use for keeping small things together is a small purse-like thing that was meant to carry eyeglasses, a cell phone, change and so forth. There are a number of snap and zippered compartments. One compartment contains  a variety of sewing needles I have. Another contains my measuring tape. a third contains my variety of stitch counters. Still another contains my stitch markers. The fifth contains my variety of stitch holders. The sixth large section has my scissors and needle keepers. so basically this is my odds and ends craft items storage container.
No, I can't tell you wear I purchase this or how long ago. I am just so glad I have it.  

Another unusual item I use is a cigar box. This is where I place small items while  I am actually working on a project. say I am loom knitting, I will set the loom tool in the cigar box if I have to go to answer the phone. This box is also where I usually stash the current small project I am working on, whether it be a beading project, knitted dishcloth or kumihimo cord.

I use the plastic containers with lids for beads. I use the zip lock bags for storing yarn, circular knitting needles and crochet hooks.  


Have a great day!!
Cathy F
