The best work space is one you don't have to pack up and set up each time you want to work. But in your home this can look really messy and if you have kids or animals it can be dangerous.

To keep projects on the go that can be quickly packed away I use small plastic flat containers. I use a separate one for each project. I buy the same brand so they stack on top of each other. Because they all look the same I label each one so I can quickly get back to work and not spend precious time trying to find things. Storage cubes give you lots of space to stow away your supplies. In the family room they can be hidden with a shawl or decorative throw.

Another trick is to Invert tubs and use the lid as a tray to work. When finished, just put the body back on top and your work is safely stowed and ready to go again. The handles lock everything away from little hands and paws. These can also be stacked, even though they are upside down, and covered with a throw.
