Cath Kidston is world renowned for her gorgeous floral fabrics, stunning home-wares and beautiful bags. What I didn't know [and maybe you won't either!] is she also has a lovely range of knitting and sewing accessories. The picture above shows the Small House Sewing Basket which is perfect for a child's storage or for some smaller pieces you might own. The interior is a pink polka dot and there is a compartmentalised tray inside to help keep things organised and it's a steal at just £35.
If this isn't to your taste maybe you'd prefer the Mini Dot Floral Sewing Tin which comes complete with 6 spools of thread and a paper needle case containing 8 needles! Not only that, it's also in the sale at the moment for just £10!! My mind is going crazy thinking of the million and one uses for that gorgeous tin!!!

One thing I have a massive problem with in my beautiful little country cottage is storage. I don't think it helps that I have a 15 month old daughter! There always seems to be a lone sock or ball of yarn lying out of place or being trailed behind a pair of toddler's legs. Although I have come to accept that this is part of my life now I would so love to have one of those homes that is perfectly organised no matter what, that if someone turned up unexpectedly, I wouldn't be blushing and casually trying to kick the pile of papers under the sofa.
Coming across this stunning little stationary storage pattern may well help! It won't solve all my earthly problems, but then... what will? This is definitely one to sit down and make. Aside from the beautiful choice of fabrics it's approximately 47cm X 24.5cm [when open] which means it's big enough that you could find multiple uses for it!
