February Organizing Update
Despite a busy week and feeling a little under-the-weather over the weekend, I chipped away at organizing a bit more. I’m still avoiding the huge projects, but I’ve been trying to do something most days, even if it’s just cleaning out a part of a cabinet or one drawer or sorting one bin. Making small […]
January 2021 Favorites
Before February comes to an end, I thought I would share my favorites from January! Instead of just sharing a book for each week, as I did in 2020, I am going back to sharing a little bit of everything…what I’m watching, what I’m listening to, foods I’m enjoying, experiences, projects, etc. It’ll be a […]
removing fuzz & fur from upholstery
One thing I get asked about with some amount of frequency is how do I deal with pet hair. With two cats and a hairy, black dog, we do end up with a lot of fluff balls and fuzz in the house. While my house isn’t always pristine, I do try to stay on top […]
DIY sewing scissors case & hemming linen towels
As I shared in Monday’s post, I’m taking the time to work through small projects as I come across specific materials I purchased with the intention of making them. I think that’s one of the problems with being someone who likes projects – we’re always collecting materials, tools, and supplies for the next project. Or […]
how to make a rice & lavender hot/cold pack
A part of cleaning, organizing, and purging is dealing with materials that were purchased with intention. I buy them because I intend to do something with them. When I was cleaning out my cleaning supplies, I found the materials for two projects that have been languishing in a closet for too long. Some of the […]
Rufus Porter Style Mural & My First Paintings
A part of organizing this month has been scanning old documents and photos (I’ll share more on that in another post) and uploading old photos that were saved to a disc to an external hard drive. At first, I didn’t even know if I had a way to scan a disc onto the drive! I […]
creative play | sketchbook tour
I’ve shared in the past that I have a hang-up when it comes to sketchbooks. Several hang-ups, actually. I always want to be the person who is filling up stacks of sketchbooks, making notes, sketches, and drawings, capturing thoughts and ideas, practicing. I’ve gotten much better about it over the past couple of years and […]
no spend February | how we got out of debt
While we’re focusing on money this month, specifically not spending beyond the bills and necessities, I thought I would post a couple of times about finances. I’m not a financial expert by any means, but we have completely transformed the way we spend, save, and view debt over the past 10 years and I thought […]
