I will post an article this week on all my research – no lunch breaks this week to get to it.

Get a look at this.

I found this two basket organizer at Sam’s for only $4!  That is not a typo – it was regularly $16 on sale for $4.  I had to have it.  It fits perfectly under my sewing table and looks a lot better than having my projects in bags.  It is about 13″ wide, 20″ long and 5″ deep; very light weight but perfect for fabric and some of my rulers.

My husband is a neat freak and doesn’t like the way things are shoved under my table; especially since the table is between our living and dining room.
