  2. I had a jewelry box I wasn’t using and could never figure out what to put in it because it had a divider that most items wouldn’t fit into. One day I decided to see if I could get the divider out and it was actually very easy. So, I had a box with no dividers that I could now use for many things, but decided I could also use the divider (all one piece) if I put it up on my wall as a small shelf sort of like a shadow box. It has worked great to put my mini misters on, small glitter bottles, perfect pearls jars and some small jars of embossing powders. It actually freed up several other smaller containers and all those things are within easy reach and reminds me to use them.

  5. This site is an organizing challenge that goes on for 29 weeks. The blogger takes viewers through the process of organizing everything crafty. She has tips, pictures and links to other organizing sites which keeps people motivated and organized. Very helpful and encouraging!

  6. Don’t have a photo, my “office” is torn apart for painting. I use pizza boxes to store my scrapbook papers. We are lucky the shop we frequent puts the pizza on a line sheet so the box stays clean.I use them as well for small project boxes.

  7. Pizza boxes is a fabulous idea.
    Mine: votive holders and baby food jars,labeled to hold buttons sitting inside small wood crates hung on the wall

  8. I love shoe bags and stacking shelves that hang off closet rods. My craft area has an immovable pipe on the ceiling that hang the shelves off of and I just tacked the shoe bags onto the walls. They hold a lot!

  9. CanI send you a picture?
    I lived in a small one bedroom apartment and sence I didn’t use my dining room much but needed a craft room this is what I did.
    I had book shelves for books, revolving card holder for cards I made, white wire shelving, a curtin rod for ribbon. clear boxes and colored boxes. fabric shelves to hange for yarn and fabric,a bulitin board, revolving paint holders. and more the pictures show it best. How can I send them? Diane

  11. Today I did a post on my blog Stashmanicure.blogspot.com that shows an inexpensive way of organizing your fabric. I am not sure if that is what you are looking for, but you may want to check it out.
    There are also a lot of others that have contributed their ideas in earlier post.
    I set my blog up four months ago with the idea of having myself and others share ways to manicure and organize your stash of fabrics that we have on hand and to make room for more of that dreamy stuff we can not get enough of! The idea here is to rule your stash before it rules you! LOL!

  12. SO weird! I was planning on doing a post tomorrow about organizing my jewelry making baubles and beads. If it actually comes to fruition I will send you a link!

  13. Hey! I’m just getting the hang of the bloging thing, but I recently updated my “studio” and wanted to share…i Hope you enjoy it! I can share more If you are interested!

How To Hide Ugly Outdoor Hose Pipes

garden-hose-how-to-hide-ugly-easy.png

Okay, let’s be real—nothing ruins a zen garden vibe faster than a neon-green hose sprawled across your patio like a drunk caterpillar. I learned this the hard way when my mother-in-law visited and politely asked, “Is your hose… part of the decor?” Cue my frantic Googling of “how to hide garden hose without looking like a weirdo.”

After testing a ridiculous number of solutions (including a failed attempt to disguise one as a “rustic clothesline”), here are the best tricks that actually work—no landscaping degree required.

1. The “Lazy Gardener’s Best Friend”: Hose Pots

Perfect if: You want something cute that takes 2 minutes to set up.

I grabbed this simple hose pot from Amazon last summer, and it’s been a game-changer. It looks like a giant planter but secretly swallows 100 feet of hose. Pro tip: Skip the cheap plastic ones—they crack faster than my resolve to “water the plants daily.”

 

2. The Ninja Move: Fake Rock Cover

Perfect if: You want your hose to pull a Mission: Impossible disappearing act.

I was skeptical, but this hollow fake rock from Amazon actually works. Just plop it over your coiled hose, and boom—instant “rock garden.” Warning: It’s lightweight, so toss a brick inside if you live somewhere windy (learned that after mine rolled into the neighbor’s yard).

3. The “Why Didn’t I Do This Sooner?” Wall Reel

Perfect if: You’re tired of tripping over hose loops.

I splurged on a  wall-mounted reel, and now my hose lives neatly coiled off the ground like a civilized garden tool. Key hack: Mount it at elbow height—unless you enjoy awkwardly squatting to reel it in.

4. Mother Nature’s Camouflage: Let Plants Do the Work

Perfect if: You’re cheap and patient (my spirit animal).

I trained creeping thyme to sprawl over my hose along the garden edge. Other great options:

  • Ornamental grasses (they’re basically nature’s curtain)
  • Hydrangeas (big, bushy, and great at hiding sins)

Avoid roses—hoses + thorns = a bad time.

5. The Sneaky Twofer: DIY Hose Bench

Perfect if: You need seating and storage.

I repurposed an old wooden storage bench by drilling a hole near the spigot. Now my hose lives inside, and I have a place to sit while pretending to weed.

What Not to Do (Trust Me)

 Burying a regular hose (it’ll kink and die a slow death).

 Using PVC pipes (they crack faster than my patience with squirrels).
 Letting it bake in the sun (UV rays turn hoses into brittle spaghetti).

So… Which One’s Right for You?

Your Turn!
Which hack are you trying? (Or do you have a better one? Spill your secrets—my hose is still judging me.)
