Ways to use my pocket hoops

I love my pocket hoops (if I do say so myself). I currently have 2 hanging up in my home, I'm making a third and I have a fourth in the pipe line. All for different rooms in the house.

In my work/nappy room (we use cloth nappies so they obviously need half a room to show them all off) I have one hanging up holding twine, scissors and pens; all things that I use when packaging my parcels up. It hangs above a set of draws which hold all the bubble wrap, bags, stickers, tissue paper ect so it's all very organised (unlike the rest of my home).

I have another on the wall in my kitchen which is in between my living room and conservatory and I use all 3 of these rooms to work in so this hoop is in the perfect place. It currently holds some glitter gel pens, pencils, a paint brush and scissors; all of which I use every day.

The third is going to be a business card holder because I usually have to dig around some sort of box or draw to quickly try and find one. I can't wait for them to all be in one place!

The fourth I have planned is actually going to be for my glasses. There is nothing worse than being all warm in bed and having to get up to put your glasses somewhere. So I don't. I usually end up putting them on the floor where little feet stand all over them in the morning. But I have just got brand new glasses so that won't be happening any more. I have seen some gorgeous glasses fabric over at West Coast Fabrics (www.facebook.com/westcoastfabrics) that has inspired me to make a pocket hoop that can hang at the side of my bed and I can put my glasses in there over night and when I have my contacts in.

Other things you can put in them are make-up brushes; crayons to keep them high up away from little fingers (I speak from experience of coming down stairs one morning to a re-decorated, crayon wall); your pegs; colouring pencils; hairbrushes; ribbon; receipts. Even baby items in the nursery. And a recent customer has used them for her crochet hooks. The list is truly endless.

If you would like to buy a pocket hoop they are available in my etsy shop:
