after Christmas my daughter decided to "clean out" and clean up her son's toy collection..she was getting rid of his toy storage unit and I immediately saved it from its demise..This little storage unit will be great right next to my table and provide easy access to my constantly used items as I embroider..just thought I would share my great find...will post a pic in a minute.

Great idea! its it lovely to get organised!!!!

Recycling is a great thing...Hugs Sally

What a GREAT idea...I think my grandson has one of those...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......I'll have to claim it when he outgrowns it....hehehehe

Hugs

my grandchildren have one of these and when I first saw it I thought it would make a great addition to my sewing room!
Glad you were able to save it!

I would have rescued that bin also. Started thinking of all the uses that it could be used for. Thanks for sharing.

hrmmmm .. ya think my toddler would mind if I turf his toys out so mommy can have his toy rack? Guess I have a while to wait lol xXx

Good idea, thanks for sharing.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Great "green" idea! I could use a whole bunch of these and still wouldn't be organized! LOL ~ New Year's resolution #1: find the sewing room ;-) hee hee hee, or at least a few table tops. *s 4 all

I use the old plastic hot wheel storage garages for holding threads and it make it easy to go to a class or conference or retreat with all the main threads that you need....they fit perfectly...don't know if they still make them or not....

Aw, man my little brother had several of these and I think they got donated to Goodwill..... ;-(

Great idea; I'd love to see a photo when you repurpose it.

I actually bought myself one of these units for my yarns, so I can see them at a glance what I have, course it overflows into bigger containers, but I use this for color coordinating most of them

we WILL have to see it - when you get it organized with your stuff, too.
