Re: The "Times" They Are A-Changing: How to Make a Basket from a Newspaper

I LOVE THIS and can't wait to try it. You can also use the funny sheets for kids closet organizers. What a genius idea Jeff. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Re: Pillow Projects

Your pillow are gorgeous. I love making pillows too. You have given me great ideas. I usually buy cloth napkins from the Dollar store that catch my eye or thrift store material, etc. I sometimes use the sparkle paint or plain paint to outline or fill in nice areas, then add a ruffle or fringe around the sides. I'll bet your daughter is so happy with her bed.

Re: How to Organize Your Yarn Stash, Part 1: Get It Together

I found a 15 cubby style unit made by ClosetMaid in Target on sale for $28.99. It is a heavy piece of furniture. I'm going to put it against my wall in my spare room and fill the cubbies (just like in the craft stores) with my yarn. This way, I can see what I have at a glance without routing through bins, etc.

Re: Your Yarn Inventory—To Slash or to Stash?

I have been looking forever for a unit exactly like this to store my yarn, etc. I can't seem to find it on the internet. Can someone please give me a website so I can purchase it?

Thanks.
