A neat idea for keeping track of potential sewing/crafts projects

I just wanted to share a tip that has been working out really well for me. I've been using a website called Kaboodle to keep track of patterns I may want to try at some point. It's a free website that allows you to store a set of bookmarks on a page with pictures and comments. Here's the page I created for sewing patterns I want to remember: . Here's my page for craft ideas: . You can make each page individually public or private and there are features to help you organize your pages once your collection starts to grow. It's great!

FWIW, it's not generally wise to depend on an external web site as a primary repository for anything. For one thing, the site could go belly up. For another, they might start charging and then you'd be stuck paying for the service to get what you get for free while they are working out all the bugs.

But if you really want to do that, I strongly recommend you keep backups on everything you put on their site so if (a) or (b) above happen, you won't be left high and dry.

Most people already do keep this kind of "wishlist" information online in various sites, like Amazon. The beauty of this concept is that it allows you to consolidate your lists in one place. If what you're storing is critical (for me it's not), you could always print out your lists as well. This site has been around a while, too, and has enough competition that I'm not worried about it changing it's revenue model.
