@px5714 it's from a few years stitching in the same spot and figuring out what makes things easier or doesn't work for me. When I get to stitch, I don't want to get up and dig through stuff to find what I need. It's all within arms reach of me and organized so I can get to it fast. Something that always annoyed me was losing my scissors! When I saw the retractable lanyards, I knew how I could use them and always know where my scissors were and never have to figure out where I sat them down again.
Thank you. I like to just grab what I need. Hunting things down makes me angry. Stitching is my relaxing, so I want it to be done with as little irritation as possible.
I can't survive in chaos. I hate not being able to find something I'm looking for. My clothes are even organized, and my husband hates how organized everything is. Lol, even my food cupboards are organized.
Thank you. I have lots of different things I do. I've been looking all over for ways to organize all kinds of supplies. These are what I have found that work for me
I love your set up! Is the Lowery stand under your chair, and is it weighted down with anything? Mine tips over when I swing it away from me since the light is so heavy. What is keeping yours from tipping? It looks very secure.
It's weighted down with 35lbs in disc weights. I also make sure my light bar is parallel with my scroll frames. And the light gets pushed back as far as it goes before I swing it. It counter balances the weight by pushing the light back
Love ❤your stitching corner and your little doggie too. So cute. I recently got my very first Mirabillia and I’m sorta intimidated 😂any advice for a first timer?
Once stitch at a time. It can help to break it down into parts. It's not any harder than doing a sampler. If it's the beading you're concerned with, there's tons of videos on TH-cam that people show how they tackle it. Try the different beading techniques on spare fabric to see which works best for you before going to your main project. I love using a tacky bill as it holds my beads, and I don't have to worry about them getting away from me. Use a size 28 tapestry needle to bead with. If a petite bead doesn't fit, try a tulip size 10 short beading needle. They are my favorite, but only for petite beads, all other beads, I use a size 28 tapestry needle.

@@brittanycrossstitches THANK you so much for the advice. I saw one of your videos stitching Lady Liberty and your just so chill and chatting. And your sweet doggies too! Your Not overthinking things at all. Hopefully I’m just overthinking my project. I appreciate the advice and thanks again!
@mariamoses8617 There are a lot of videos of me stitching mirabilia's and Bella Filipina's all while chatting. Sometimes, I make a mistake, but I usually catch it pretty quick if I don't then I just fudge it. No one will know but me

Hi just found your channel, I love your organization! I too have paint supplies and similar craft supplies. How do you keep your lowery from flopping?😊
My chair legs sit on top of it. However I've had my children knock it over by plowing threw to get to all the craft stuff, which is why I added the magnets to the bottom of my daisy dish because I usually will rest different needles in it. They were flung all over my living room, so with the magnets, if they knocked it over, they stayed in the daisy dish now.
Wow. Just wow
LOVE your set up! You really thought of everything!!!!

Retractable idea for tools! Awesome!
Yes. I know where they are at all times and when I'm done with them. I just let go and the go back by themselves.
Holy moly! What great ideas and organization skills you have shared! Thank you. I will definitely be using some of them!
Wow you have some great ideas.I will be seeing if they can work for me when I finish my sewing room.
I hope I've at least given you some inspiration or maybe something that will work for you!
I love how organized your stitch spot is.
Thank you. I like to just grab what I need. Hunting things down makes me angry. Stitching is my relaxing, so I want it to be done with as little irritation as possible.
Thank you Brittany. Loved seeing your stitchy corner and all your hobby storage. I envy your organisation skills.!Best wishes.

Thank you so much for the video! I really love your stitchy spot and the storage ideas!
You're welcome. It was a fun video to film. I linked as much as I could in the description
Wow so impressed .Going to use some of these ideas

That little dog is Theo, and he also has a sister who's also a yorkie named Cami. They're both in my next video.

@@brittanycrossstitches can’t wait to watch them all. 🌸
Love how you are so organised. What do you hang your floss drops on in the black box

Was that light stand custom built for you?
@@HopefulSeaOtters-rv5bj no, it's a lowery stand with the light bar attachment you can also buy from their website

@@brittanycrossstitches I will look again to see if I can get it to work on my chair
@sunnykat2762 I've heard people say they sometime use a 15 pound weight on the base. Or stack books on it.
@@brittanycrossstitches I will try that
Don't laugh but I'm not sure what watching is
