Light at the end of the closet...

We are sooooo close to finishing up our master closet project. It's back to being functional, and I've reloaded much of our clothes/shoes. Still need to do some purging, then I'll share all the details... Until then, wish me luck in persuading the hubs he really doesn't need all those stained t-shirts he hasn't worn in years ;)

Weekend Warriors


3 days
7 trips to the plant store
undisclosed amount of money spent
1 dirty car
1 borrowed pickup truck
3 awesome helpers
51 ugly or dead plants dug up
82 new plants planted
1 farmer's tan sunburn
1 splinter in the hand
.....

but it was all worth it once I finally sat down on the patio,
adult beverage in hand,
and could not see one dead plant :)

Helloooooo, summer!

And BTW, I'm thinking about starting my own landscaping business. I lost 3 lbs over the weekend!

Organizing 101

I love to organize. Random shoes left scattered on the floor or last week's shopping receipts crumpled up and laying on any ol' piece of furniture drive me crazy (I love you honey, but I've come to learn that we just don't have the same organizing standards). More than anything, I love the calm, peaceful feeling of being surrounded by non-chaos.

The sewing room is my domain, where I can organize to my heart's content. A couple months ago, my fabric was literally taking over the house, room by room. I had to tame the beast, so I took a short jaunt to our neighborhood IKEA, and bought some fantastic Billy Bookcases.

Here's the end result: plenty of space for the bolts, and shorter shelves for my non-bolt fabric collections.


There's even a hanging shelf with bins to store all my scraps.

Ah, thank you IKEA for restoring order to my sewing room. The fabric is no longer creeping down the hallway and invading the rest of our house. Now, about those shoes and receipts... :) Pin It
