Thoughts on Thursdays...

Do something every day that makes you happy...kiss the ones you love, sew a little, have a cup of tea, paint your nails. Just do one little thing!

Have a great day,

Tool Time Tuesday...Organize With Seedling Trays

Happy Tuesday!! Here in my little corner of the world the whole month of May has been gray and rainy. We've had a few days of sunshine this week, so we were off to Home Depot's garden center. You know I always have a Tool Time eye open where ever I go...and this is what I found!

Seedling starter trays. They are made of fiber cells and are 100% natural and biodegradable. If they are safe enough to start tomato plants in them, they're safe enough to hold me craft supplies!!

This particular pack came with 4 trays for $2.59.

They're like egg cartons, but deeper and hold a little more.

You can arrange them in your drawers or shelves in any configuration.

or you can arrange them end to end on the back of your sewing table or craft table.

Here are some of the things I thought to fill them up with.

Of course, sewing supplies. Great for your sewing table, but how easy would it be to carry this to the chair or couch while you are doing some hand sewing. You could even make one of those sections into a pin cushion.

Manicure anyone...pink for summer, if summer ever gets here!!

How about all those tiny office supplies floating around in your desk or kitchen drawer.

and we can't forget all your craft supplies...beads, buttons, sequins, scrap booking doo dads etc...



These are great for kid's crafting parties too. Add all your craft supplies and each child gets their own tray. You can also cut them into sections too.

These trays also come in larger versions and are made out of plastic. Great for so many things.

Just wanted to "plant the seeds" of inspiration this Tuesday!

Have a great day,
