Flosstube Extra •My Craft Cart and Stitchy Spot•

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

Finally settling in to watch this, but I can't get over that you get up at 4-4:30!!!😂😂😂

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

lol we are early birds for sure.

Here are some useful things that I keep at my stitching spot: 1) For finding and retrieving dropped needles: a telescoping magnetic tool and a small square of flexible magnetic material. You could use a magnetic Bingo chip wand (kids love them) or a flat refrigerator magnet. 2) For frogging: a mini Seamfix with silicone head for brushing off fuzz after removing stitches--has a seam ripper, but I use a separate sharper one; tweezers; a size 7 metal crochet hook for grabbing short floss tail to pull through my needle threader when I'm threading a needle that I've run under several threads on the back to secure it. 3) For me: a nail clipper and nail file; hair clips; handcream (I love GoldBond Healing Hydrating cream with Aloe.); lens wipes for cleaning glasses; 4) Lens cleaning cloth to wipe my lighted ring magnifier and my Android tablet that has Pattern Keeper and all my pdf charts installed. I use my ring magnifier, that's clamped to my side table, (in my recliner with footrest up) so that it is parallel to my face (like looking in a mirror) so that I sit back and don't hunch over when I stitch.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you for watching!

[@AnnRecordCrossStitcher]

Thanks for sharing your organization and where you stitch and where you keep things!!! It’s nice getting ideas from others. Happy stitching!!!

[@mm-qm9zh]

Hi, Megan! I love videos showing others’ stitching areas and how they organize all their supplies, and yours was phenomenal! So super cute and organized! Thank you so much for sharing your personal space with us ☺️🧡 Have a wonderful day, my friend! Meline

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you Meline. Happy Memorial Day! Hope you had a great weekend.

[@jamjams_9678]

Awesome!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you! ☺️

[@KatNguyen]

Yes mildliners are the best highlighters. I have a full set and my daughter is always trying to steal my stationary 😅. I store my Dmc almost in the exact same way.

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Hi Megan I love Videos like this one. I love that Cart. I need to get a basket like yours to keep my Current Projects in. That is nice and big. I only use a Red Gel Fine Point Pen to mark off my Stitches on my Working Copy. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵✂️❤️

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I think if you’ll love having the basket of projects! It’s so nice when I decide what I’m going to work on and have it all close by right next to me to stitch. Works great.

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

@@TheSeattleStitcher - Yes having a Basket next to your Stitching Spot really helps out a lot and it’s all in one place too which is the Basket. I found one on Kohls Website that is just as big as yours is. I haven’t bought it yet. I want to though. ❤️

[@Cozyxstitch]

Yay, loved seeing your stitchy spot Megan, we almost have the same setup! I love how you are so organized with everything 🧡 Thanks for sharing!

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

So LOVELY Megan to watch and listen “to your history” of organizing your crafting supplies as A Busy Wife and MOTHER ….and helps to alleviate some the stress when thinking of age appropriate boundaries for our Kiddos……also it help visual learners within our community to see how found objects can be utilized ie clear plastic as a coaster like piece…..Happy Memorial Day 2024!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Sherry I would do anything to listen to the history of your crafting and organizing of said crafts!! You have lived such an interesting life. I always look forward to your comments. Thank you for always sharing your wisdom, kindness and time with me. Happy Memorial Day. 💜

[@amy.k.graham]

I love organization videos! Thanks for sharing your system. I love those craft carts and have a couple of them myself. They’re so handy!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I love them! I don’t even want to admit how many we have in the house 🤣🤣

[@giselekusmik9167]

Thank you for taking the time to show us your craft area - I really like and appreciate the way you can keep out your crafts, while not letting it take over your whole room!! (My craft area is very similar to yours!!) ☺️💖. Oh! And I LOVE the names of your children!!!! 💖💙☺️

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@cindyflinchbaugh7155]

I throw my threads away all the time too! I like an organized space also, clears the mind. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I am so glad I’m not the only one. lol!

[@jaxcreativeinspirations]

Megan, thank you for sharing! I love seeing how others organize their supplies, and get inspiration from them. I have a Raskogg (I think that’s how you spell it, lol!) from IKEA that I need to start utilizing more. You have given me lots of ideas!! Have a great week, see you again soon!!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you!! Happy Memorial Day. Hope you had a nice weekend ☺️

[@BeckStitchesEverything]

I really need to set up a craft cart for my stitching area

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Yes you do! 🤪

[@DLNYTube]

Very nice storage. Wish I was that organized. I live in a condo apartment and have stuff divided between 2 rooms! Always reorganizing it, though!

[@LesliesLakeLife]

I love how organized you are, Megan. I have stuff everywhere. Drives hubby and myself a bit nuts.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Hahaha I try to keep it organized but it definitely gets messy through the day I just try to stow it all away at night.

[@aliciapereira2638]

Yay! Love this! Thanks for sharing, off to clear out my cart of yarn 😂

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

lol! It’s perfect for stitching!

[@stitchingwithtiffany]

Loved seeing your setup and organization! I have young kids too. My youngest is 16 months old and so I have my craft cart next to my couch/stitchy spot with a baby gate around it. I can still get to it, but she can’t and I can keep all the sharp things there without her getting to them.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Omg that’s so smart. I could totally put a baby gate around mine when he’s older LOL. Baby proofing our craft carts omg if someone told me that would be me ten years ago I would have laughed in their face. 🤣💀💖 mom life.

[@stitchingwithtiffany]

@@TheSeattleStitcher literally came upon it on accident and I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner 🤣 moms got to stick together

[@cynthia8022]

Were did you get your cart? Really enjoyed your video.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you! I got it on Amazon. The link is in my description box 💖💖

[@jamieteb-b7q]

Hi do you use magnifier glasses mt eyesight is not too good also. Thanks

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Yes! I use the ones in this video quite often. They work great 💖

[@andrewilliams1954]

🪡👍🏽

[@OneCatCrafting]

i have one car for cross stitch, one for knitting and one for sewing in various places around my home and none of them are that pretty

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Haha I have way too many of these carts I’m afraid to admit 🤣😂. But! I just love them. So handy. I even have one as a rolling diaper station lol.
