Modern life is so busy and crafters by nature can be a little untidy - so many stashes and you can never remember where you have put what. Being organized can make the difference between starting your project almost immediately and searching for something for hours. This book presents ideas to help you get organized. This book is as much about how to manage a project - splitting it into bite-sized pieces as how to manage your work space and have everything to hand. Tips are offered from crafters. There are quick and easy, useful projects to try. A very useful book with neat tips for storage and organization and great projects.
