New Corner Bookmarks in the Shop!

I have a fun new item to share from the shop - Corner Bookmarks! 

These darling bookmarks are the perfect companion for your favorite book. I've been using them this week to mark my spot in a few stories I'm reading right now and I love how handy and easy to use these are. Plus they are so cute and pretty! :D

Country Hearts

Each corner bookmark is made from 2-3 fabric selections, with a piece of stabilizing interfacing between for stiffening to help it hold it's shape and stay in your book nicely, and then stitched around the edges. The bookmarks are 2-1/2 inches, with a sweet little triangle corner that fits neatly on the edge of your favorite book. 

Daffodils Bookmark

Aqua Dots

I've tested these out in both paperback and hardback books and they work really well for both! I was a bit worried about the corner pages of a book possibly getting bent, but I have had no trouble and I like these even better than a regular bookmark! :D

Coffee Bookmarks

Bookmarks come in a set of two for $3.50 with free shipping!

I have lot's of colorways available in the shop for different tastes and people. 

There are bookmarks for both men and women, and even kid-friendly bookmarks, as well.

These are going to make fabulous gifts for birthday's and party favors, teachers and librarians and of course your favorite reader's! :D Once you try them, you'll want to collect them all and give them out for every occasion to friends and family. (I've already made and given quite a few myself!)

Bookworm Corner Bookmarks

Set of 3 - $4.50

Free Shipping

Each set includes 1 large (3 inches) & 2 small (2 inches)

two sets available

 

The sizing of these is 1 large and 2 mini.

Each is a little bigger and smaller than my regular 2-1/2 inch sizes in the shop. 

These are great for children's books or the kid at heart! ;)

The mini size you can easily fit in a backback or purse "in case of emergencies". 

You never know when you'll need a bookmark! ;D

Head over to my Odds n Ends Quilt Shop to purchase new corner bookmarks and more!

These corner bookmarks are so much fun to use, I hope you all enjoy them! :D

Time to Organize

More and more my little shop is turning into a "real business". This week I ordered and set up a new storage system for my fabrics. I've had my storage all over the house, at one point or another, over the years, and since starting my business I've kept three of those cardboard packing boxes stacked in my workspace beside the kitchen table. This has been my setup for over a year now, but every time I need fabric I had to go digging through the boxes and lifting them off from one another to find anything. When lazy or busy during the holidays, I tended to even pile the most-used fabrics on top of the boxes and skip cleanup all together. :( I was always worried the whole pile would fall over and get dirty!

Needless to say I grew tired of this method AND my boxes were beginning to fall apart (i.e. the piles of fabric weighed down the fragile cardboard lids to the point of ruination). Plus this storage was VERY unsightly, right in our kitchen area! So, I invested in this new storage unit. It's shorter than I expected, but it's a bit deeper and wider than my previous storage so I can actually hold a bit MORE fabric! Yippee!

It took me a full afternoon to reorganize my sewing corner. Partly this was due to a thorough cleanup and sorting through of all the fabric. I am sending off an entire garbage bag full of older fabric I never used in over a year's time to the thrift store. I only want the best for my customer's and if it's not inspiring me then it needs to go to a new home.

I'm even more excited about how tidy everything is in my corner, now, than I thought I'd be! :D And it is SO nice to simply open a drawer without moving heavy boxes around. ;) *happy sigh*

Investing in my little business is important to me because it means I will put in 100% into my work. Having a convenient, and practical storage means I spend less time digging for fabric and more time quilting pretty things for all of you! :D

Do you have a favorite storage method for your creative projects? I'd love to hear about them! :D

Thanks for stopping by today!
