scanning old documents, photos, & postcards
One of the big projects I want to work on while organizing and purging is scanning antique and vintage family photos, letters, postcards, and documents. Fortunately, I have a lot of them! Unfortunately, that means the task is a little overwhelming and I’ve been putting off most of it for years. So, I’m just going […]
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 […]

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 […]
