I bought this plastic thread storage box to use for my excess rolls of thread. Then I stocked up on some zippers and wondered where I was going to put them. So for now they are in the thread box and they fit really well. At least I'll know where they are when I need one. I usually put things places where I know where to find them, then can't remember where that place is.

Looks like an excellent place to store them.
Neat idea! Maybe we should all post pictures of where we put things so we can find them later! :icon_rofl:
I need a box for storing zippers and that looks perfect. I am [I]always[I] putting things in special places and losing them. I think th clear storage is brilliant.
As soon as I remember where those places are - I will be sure to post some pictures!:DQuote:

I cut out my cornerstones for the sashing in a baby quilt before Christmas and put them in that special place. I remember seeing them during the holidays. This week I went to put the blocks together and tore my sewing room apart looking for them. Finally I just recut them. Which took about a quarter of the time I spent hunting.
Yes, but where will she put her thread? :DQuote:

So, I have been able to find everything I've looked for these last few days. I hope I continue to be so lucky. Still have a few more consolidations to go, gotta stay logical!
I'm in the process of doing that as well. I found some chalkboard labels at the dollar store. The idea is that once a project is complete it will be easy to re-label the drawer or bin. That's the idea. We'll see how it goes.Quote:

I have a small quilting notebook. During the holidays when tidying up I made lists of what I had under various precuts/ notions. , kits, planned quilts ect. I also nafe a note where I stored them. Maybe try to have a notebook and make a note when you FO something and where you put it.
I am also bad at things like hiding valuables if we go away for weekend then can't find my jewelry/ extra emergancy Credit card for months on end. Kids handheld electronic game turned up the other month- apparently II had hidden it 3 years ago in anger as they wouldn't stop playing!
