drawers always seem to need another round of organization

May 4, 2026 – 2:41 pm

I’ve been in my craft room for almost three years now. Time has flown by. The craft room is in an addition added to our home a year after we moved in. We were downsizing from a large brick home built in 1867. Tons of room there to store stuff. Even stuff we no longer […]

decluttered craft drawers, plus a word about my favorite tools organizer

March 26, 2026 – 10:05 am

I’ve used my craft room drawers for almost three years. It’s time to declutter and revise the contents to make the drawers more user friendly. Storage space that I can reach from my desk is “prime real estate.” Items used daily are stored in prime real estate. Items used once a week or so are […]

The past week hurried by. I stayed busy clearing, cleaning and decluttering the craft room. Making good progress! I did skip that on Saturday when I helped DH take down some Christmas decorations. Yes, we do it slowly. No stress involved unless we leave it up way too long! We got everything off the large […]

It is hard to believe we are heading into the last days of January, 2018. The passing of time always catches me off guard. Life happens a moment at a time. And those moments seem to last forever sometimes. But they keep marching on and suddenly, time has passed! Who’s into minimalism? Living with less? […]

menu plan for the rest of december, plus one

December 29, 2017 – 2:13 pm

Christmas night, I came down with the headcold/sinus thing that’s going around. Here it is Friday and I feel worse than ever. But I’m staying in bed and being pampered by Rose Red and Snow White who come running if I call. Helpful girls who are quite able to take care of themselves while Ma […]

Another busy week. My sister came back this weekend and we got a lot of Christmas prep done. We watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” while we made popcorn and cranberry strings for the living room tree. Ski wanted to check it out. We decorated the candy/cookie tree for the top of the fridge. Genny found […]

We had a busy four-day weekend. My sister was here for the entire time, helping with Christmas prep. A friend came over on Saturday and put in hours of help with decorating Christmas trees and hanging snowflakes. She brought two of her helpful kids along to carry and tote and help as they could for […]

We had a busy weekend of Christmas decorating and baking! Genny is almost done with the chalkboard Christmas tree. I can’t wait to show you the whole thing! The theme is Christmas Mice. I’ll have pictures when it’s done. One of the treats I made is an Open House favorite – Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles. […]

This is a busy time of year for us. We are deep into Christmas prep. Because our annual Open House is the first Sunday in December, we need to have all our Christmas decorating done before that weekend. And, if you know anything about me at all, you know I love Christmas and, therefore, we […]

This past weekend, I and my sisters and our sister-in-law got together for Sisters’ Weekend at our Dad’s house and made 197 dozen Christmas cookies and candies. We had the excellent help of our great-niece who loves to bake and loves to help. Our two brothers take platters of Christmas goodies to their customers each […]
