I needed a shelf for my table when I do a craft fair. I saw one at my dad's house. He said I could have it.

I painted it (rather badly, it was a pesky thing to paint) and hung it on the wall with cup hooks. When it is not at a craft table, about 360 days of the year, it can be a sewing shelf.
The rest of the time it can be really useful.
and boy is it useful. Just reaching for the scissors to snip a thread, sliding out a piece of bias binding from the old tie back fixture I screwed to the side, easily laying my hands on the unpicker - it is all so smooth and compact. I had a really good haberdashery sort out yesterday and now I want to leave it like that for a little while, all neat and tidy.
Crochet classes, maths exam for my group of adult learners EEK, children to play after school, parents evening, knit and natter - it is that time of year!!

Looks really good, I love neat and tidy. My craft room is a disaster at the moment I don't even have an excuse I just haven't tidied it up. Tomorrow is another day!
ReplyDeleteWow it looks great and super handy too.

Love those wee shelves and they look very handy indeed. Sounds you are having a busy week! End of term is it? Our schools have already been off for almost 3 weeks!

ReplyDeleteIt's terrific, Jo. I love having things organized and easy to reach. Your shelves look nice and make a good display piece too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find, a wonderful storage unit x
ReplyDeletelooks great, and i can only imagine how useful it is! i'd love a wall-hung shelf like that... one of the downsides of renting
