LOOKING GREAT TINA-THANKS FOR YOUR IDEAS-HUGS/BLESSINGS

[@suruha2306]

One of my first junk journals was made of many things I had saved through the years from my three children. Drawings became pages that I adorned, rather than cover up. I had sheets of plain paper with one little stick figure up in the corner, so, these made excellent pages to put feature items upon. It put a lot of their hand made 'cards' all in one journal. Now, their gifts are mostly all in one place, they are enjoyed more often and it's fun to flip through! I love seeing how you organize! It is inspiring! Thanks! Su

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I love that idea for keeping the little treasures that the kids have made, what a lovely keepsake x

[@lauragaudry3402]

Love the eyelash trim method of storage! My husband is making me a peg board which will be the perfect place to hang the trim from! If I can’t see something I tend to forget I have it...hence the peg board will help! 😆. Hugs and blessings, 🇨🇦🤗❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes it’s a great way to store it isn’t it? Like I said not my idea. You will love your pegboard x

[@catherinelong2405]

I love these videos. They are really inspiring me to organise my own craft supplies. I think you are doing a lovely job on organising your fabric. I don't think each piece needs to be neatly folded or rolled. You organised your fabric so that you know what you have and can see each piece when you pull out the box. Each to their own and you do you beautifully ❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Catherine, I really appreciate your kindness and encouragement x

[@amythomas9204]

Excellent job! I agree, I am finding that the only way to be organized is to keep at it all the time. Which is just like laundry and dishes! No fun to do, but I always feel good and accomplished when it's done🙂

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

You’re so right, it’s just like the laundry and the dishes, no sooner have you done it low and behold there’s more! It does feel good though doesn’t it? Hope you have a lovely weekend x

[@patriciastubbs7605]

Terrific ! I love how you're fabric has alot of gathered and fluffy pieces. This looks like alot of fun. Tfs, Tina !

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Patricia x

[@anita4291]

Wow, You have been given a lot of space. Love the method for the eyelash trim. Thank you for sharing.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes I really do have a lot of storage now x

[@Melinda-S]

Great work! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@bernicechiniborch2600]

Thanks Tina. I was unable to get up in my craft room this morning...hubby sleeping in the next room. So I organized my kitchen drawers while watching. Have a great day.🇨🇦

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, I love that you organised your kitchen drawers instead 🙃 x

[@lalagamma4452]

Lovely Tina! Gayle Agonstilli puts fabric in pieces on some of those rings too so she has them hanging on the side of her metal cart to use whenever needed. I think these are great ideas. I like the idea of things hanging where I can see them.🥰🐞😘

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh that’s a great idea of Gayle’s, might have to do that. Yes having things where we can see them really helps doesn’t it? X

[@debrak5314]

Wow! Cabinet is looking good!

@@shabbydabbydoodah tyvm!

[@denisetiblis9045]

Though I don't use eyelash trim, I liked your homemade label cards. I would suggest snipping your slit somewhere that you could also use it to put the other end through also to make it easy to find the end and make it secure. Cheers!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Denise for the tip about the end for tucking the eyelash trim x

[@DonnaVintageSnippets]

An idea for those tearing blocks -- use them as acrylic blocks for your stamps.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea Donna x

[@OnePeacefulMind_2024]

i did the same with ribbons - took them off of the spools and stack them next to each other in a box

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea x

[@margieryne6220]

Hi 🙋🏻 Tina, boy, that’s what I need to do really bad, is to get organized! 🥺 I can’t seem to figure out what order I want things in! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@joellenfritchen124]

I don't have much fabric but I'm going to start getting a good system of organization going to get ready for some serious flea market/thrift store shopping someday. I enjoy how you repurpose clothing. I've got a suede skirt that is screaming to be a journal cover.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Great idea to get your system in place before getting overrun with fabrics. I love repurposing old clothes....... I find myself buying things now with that at the back of my mind! Lol. Oh a suede skirt would be great for a Journal cover x

[@donnasmith9042]

Good Morning Tina 🌞... Love your Tidy Friday's.. you room is coming along.. you give us inspiration to get a move on in our craft space... I don't have nearly the amount of material you have..you have so much... Maybe you could put some in bundles and put it in your Etsy Shop...I say "Maybe" because you like to hoard from time to time...lol.. Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you at our next tea time 🤗🤗🤗

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh thank you so much Donna, yes I am feeling really great about how my area is shaping up. I should really put some packs together x

[@leilahwilliams9232]

Try as I my everytime I work on a new project my desk become just a wreck! I have been reorganizing my craft space for the last 2 days and like you it is surprising to find so much stuff I had forgotten about! The problem I have is my little space also has slanted walls so there's not much wall space for shelfs, But it is surprising how many things you can have if you just get it organized, Thanks for the videos it is inspiring watch.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes it all just gets soooooo messy sooooooo quickly doesn’t it? I also have slanted ceiling/walls, so I know what you mean about having to think carefully about your storage, and getting a bit organised really is making a huge difference 🤗🙃. So thrilled that you are organising with me x

[@OnePeacefulMind_2024]

i love these videos - i already used ur rolled or folded fabric technique with some of my scraps yay ✨😍

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh that’s fantastic, it’s really great having them stored so you can see them isn’t it? X

Your cupboards are looking nice and neat. My room closet is full. I have 3 cabinets in the garage that are also full. I don't need any supplies just maybe glue. I just sent happy mail and supplies to a family. I am glad to be able to share what I have with others. I still don't sell anything that I make. Tidy Friday is still my favorite day of the week❤❤❤

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

You spend so much time being so kind and generous, you must bring joy to so many ladies. Yes, I am feeling really happy with my cupboard :-) x

[@emmkaa2099]

Lifes pleasures are simple, right? It just happens that as I take a break from a project today - getting "good" fabric off thrift store clothing - I check to see what you're doing and it turns out it's the exact same thing. As I was harvesting the good stuff I was very grateful that I'm involved in a craft that doesn't require me to precisely separate, either with a seam ripper or some sort of a blade, the pieces I want from the rubbish and I'm wondering if the same thing may have occurred to you as you cut and ripped waistbands from lace. We take our joys where we can find them these days, yeah? Love the eyelash trim winding idea too girl! XOX from the Southern California desert, MK. ❤️☀️🌬️🌵

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

You’re so right, this is the perfect craft for me, I could never be doing with anything that requires precision or perfection 🙃. Definitely life is all about the simple pleasures, like you say especially at the moment x

[@debbie5765]

Love Friday Tidy, it inspires me to organize all my treasures. If you put a second notch at the bottom of your eyelash lace tags you can put the end through that to hold it. 🇺🇸❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you Debbie, great idea for the second notch x

[@AtSusiesCottage]

I was forced to tidy my desk as I had heating engineers changing the radiators and boilers this week! My sons were blown away when they saw I had a white desk lol It does take time but as you say you feel so much better for it! Thanks for another inspiring video Tina ......maybe a challenge in the new year to use all those forgotten fabrics, laces and trims? xxx💕

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, I love that you had to tidy for the heating engineers to come to be able to get to the radiators!!! Yes it does feel good doesn't it? Great idea for a challenge x

[@diamondstud322]

I’m super impressed at the progress you’re making. Keep up the good work

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much x

[@laurettechandlerthevintage3022]

I punched holes in the cards my eyelash trim was wound on and put them on rings by colors, like you did. Thanks for the great idea, now I can easily see them. They were in a drawer but I kept forgetting about them. Problem solved! My laces and fabrics are now sorted into clear boxes and on open shelves with labels on them. So much easier to find and use! Thanks for all the inspiration! 😊🌸😊

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Oh that's fantastic, I am so pleased that you are having fun getting organised with me x

[@KateriBurnett]

Oh Tina, you’ve got to fold or roll your fabrics. I fold mine into 3rds. I watched the Marie Condo and it you haven’t used it in 6 months or it doesn’t make you happy donate it. That is what I did. I don’t keep anything I’m not using. I’m getting rid of paper flowers have to many so some have to go. You doing pretty good. But fold you material😁😆

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Yes I don't know what got in to me here, I wasn't folding or rolling!!! I had been so good a couple of weeks ago with the other fabrics, not sure why I was so sloppy today!!! Lol x

I Love these Friday Tidy days. Your so funny at being surprised by what you have found that you have. Those doily's I wouldn't ever cut them up. Maybe scan and print it out. But never cut them up. I would find places in my house to use them. ❤🎅 Can you not order from IKEA? I have to have everything delivered. No car more expenses I have to pay to get the things I need.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

I am constantly surprised by what I find! Lol. I need to use those doilies.........not using them is how I came to get in this mess in the first place 🤭🙃 . Yes I could order from Ikea, but I will wait and go there after lockdown, I might have found I need some other things by then too x

Girly. You need to do a better job storing. Fold the material not wadding it up
