    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

Create Your Own Cozy Review: A Practical Guide to Slow Living and a More Intentional Home

I feel like “cozy” has become one of those words we all quietly crave, especially when life feels busy, noisy, and just a little bit chaotic. So a book like Create Your Own Cozy immediately feels inviting. It promises a slower, softer way of living, and honestly, I am always here for that.

This book leans into the idea of creating a home that feels calm, comforting, and personal. Not perfect. Not styled within an inch of its life. Just genuinely cozy. The kind of space where you can exhale a little.

What I really like about this concept is that it feels achievable. It is not about expensive makeovers or chasing trends. It is about small, practical changes that help you enjoy your space more. Things like soft lighting, simple routines, meaningful decor, and creating little moments of comfort throughout your day.

That idea fits beautifully with the growing love for slow living and intentional homes. It is something so many of us are leaning into right now, especially when home starts to feel less like a showroom and more like the place where we want to rest, create, and properly live.

If this idea speaks to you, then you might also enjoy this cottage-style DIY decor idea, which has that same warm, charming feel that makes a home feel welcoming rather than overly polished.

And for anyone who loves bringing handmade touches into their space, these simple DIY home decor ideas  are a great reminder that you do not need a huge budget to make your home feel more personal.

What makes this book appealing is that it is not just about how your home looks, but how it feels. It encourages you to create spaces that support rest, creativity, and everyday comfort. That might mean a cozy reading corner, softer lighting in the evenings, or just making your kitchen feel a little more inviting.

I also think this book pairs nicely with the idea of making small upgrades that have a big impact. Something like these creative upgrade ideas for your home fits right in with that same mindset of shaping a home that works for real life while still feeling lovely.

For crafters especially, cozy living often overlaps with creativity. A handmade blanket, a basket of yarn, a sewing project waiting on the table, or a candle glowing in the corner all add to that feeling. It is not about perfection. It is about comfort, warmth, and a home that reflects the people living in it.

This book feels like a gentle reminder that you do not need to overhaul your entire home to create that atmosphere. You can build it slowly, one small change at a time.

And honestly, that is probably why the idea of cozy resonates so much. It is not about doing more. It is about slowing down enough to enjoy what you already have.
