From the Archives Friday
This photo was one of my very firsts posts. I was in love with the corset like recycled can covers.
The original post was made from a photo on Flickr, but thanks to Pinterest I have stumbled up photos of the above pictures at Imgur of her old studio and her new one as well. Click here to view all eleven photos.

I have literally been dreaming about these in black & white.

This DIY thread spool holder make me happy for a couple reasons. One, is that it holds 128 spools AND the matching bobbins! Brilliant. Check out more pictures at The Creative Homemaker.
Cut a ceiling tile down to size and insert into a box or suitcase for portable copic marker storage. Thanks to Scrap Shots, Snap Shots for the photo.
Gorgeous lace and ribbon storage from toilet paper rolls. I wonder how many of these I can fit into the vintage suitcase I use to store my piles and tangles of lace and trim.
I do think this may just be the most brilliant use of embroidery hoops ever. Check out Fishsticks Design for this free pattern and a host of other great tutorials!
I’ve seen it done with scrapbook (12x12) paper but never fabric. Using a filing cabinet for fabric is genius! If you love repurposing, organization and crafting (Which I know you do because why else would you be here?) you need to visit Karen @ Sew Many Ways. She is a Jedi and I am a mere padawan.

Here you go, storage dripping with style. Tell me you didn’t just wipe some drool there.
Also, LOVE using a clothesline for fat quarter storage .
Artemis Russell (Junk Stylist and one half of Rust Jewelry) created this space that I am just in awe of. I myself sew/create in a 5x9’ space so I know that you can create a studio anywhere, but this is just amazing. The sunshine alone is enough to make me move in. (My space is starving for natural light.) Have a look at this amazing transformation from useful to amazing (and even more useful) space.
From this!
To this!
And this!
And this!
Amazing right? Proof positive bigger is not always better (or necessary)! Head on over to the Junkaholique.com to see some more pictures and check out the beautiful blog.
Wooden tape dispenser. I posted a DIY version of this back in March, and it was/is just as wonderful but in a different way. I like this one because well, I like just about anything well designed and made of wood. There I said it, now I am going to stop there because the double entendres coming to mind are terrible. Also, this totally has DIY potential.
*Note, I found this photo randomly, I am not sure where to purchase it as the link is old and broken.
