During what was supposed to be a ‘quick’ trip to Ikea in February, I picked up a RÅSKOG kitchen cart. It wasn’t the reason for my trip – I really just needed to pick up some more KASSETT boxes for fabric storage. Gretchen had purchased one of the RÅSKOG carts for her craft room makeover and when I told her I was popping in for a couple of small things, she asked me to pick her up another one. She also suggested that maybe I’d want one of my own (I hadn’t previously even considered it). When we were at IKEA tossing one on the cart, my husband said, ‘don’t you need one, too?’ Well, I guess I did! I knew exactly where I wanted to store it, but I wasn’t completely sure it would fit, and darn it, I was right. 😦
It fits UNDER the cabinet, but even turned sideways, it doesn’t fit next to the bookshelf under there – it happens to be about 4″ too wide. Despite it being out all the time, I’m keeping it. I’ve already got it loaded with my current three (ha! I wish it were only 3) WIPs. Let me just say – these are my top 3 WIPs. 🙂
Top bin – Wishes for the Fat Quarter Shop Wishes QAL
Middle bin – yardage for borders, binding, and backing of the mystery quilt I did at the February retreat.
Bottom bin – my fabric for the Vice Versa BOM.
I think I’m going to like this little cart. I’m also hoping it helps me get back on track and not be so all over the board when it comes to projects I’m working on. I have countless WIPs, and I’m not liking that feeling. I want to reign some of those projects in, finish them up, and move on down my list.
The boxes and cart look great. I love anything that will help organize me and keep on-going projects at hand. I’d rather spend my time sewing than digging around my room to find that one thing I’m looking for! That said, I’m heading to my room to find that little scrap of fabric for the final border cornerstones that “I know” I have somewhere!!
Some days I’m much more organized than others, that’s for sure. This just so happened to be a good day! 🙂
It looks great in your space.. I’ve been eyeing that IKEA cart for a while. Despite the fact that I don’t have much space to put it in my sewing room I still want it 🙂
It’s coming in handy so far!
Thank you for stopping by!
I love your cart! Perfect for keeping organised 🙂
