How To Set Up A Pantry Closet Now that it’s fall and that “nesting” feeling is starting to sink in, I thought I would show you how I created and organized my kitchen pantry. You know that feeling – getting everything ready so that you are all comfy and cozy all winter long. It is kind of like a squirrel gathering as many nuts as he can and safely storing them so he doesn’t go hungry over the winter. He doesn’t have a pantry -just a safe hiding place for his stash. This is my mudroom – it is right off my kitchen and it is where my pantry is located. When we first moved into this house, the double doors you see in the photo used to be half this wide – it used to be a single door coat closet. The house we lived in previously had a walk-in pantry – it was an entire room. We made a coat and shoe wall with hooks and shelves out in the garage. The double doors allow you to see everything in one full swoop when you open them. I like being able to see everything at a glance, but it did take some work. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Fancy Fabric Embellishments: Stuffed Yo-yos for Pinning or Wearing - Quilting Daily - Blogs I have quite a stash of hand-dyed silk ribbon, beads, buttons, and trims that I could use to embellish a quilt. The trouble is, aside from my small fabric collages, I haven't been making embellished quilts recently. Then I remembered Michelle Muska's Embellished Stuffed Yo-yos from the first season of "Quilting Arts TV." She makes theses gems in a variety of sizes: to embellish fiber art and accessories or as pincushions. Michelle makes the yoyos out of scraps of cotton, velvet, or silk. Embellished Stuffed Yo-yosBy Michelle Muska Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. If you can bear it, stick pins and needles into your new pincushion. I'm so glad I have all 13 seasons of "QATV." P.S.
DIY Under Cabinet Lazy Susan {Rotating Organizer Stand Like many, I find the storage space I do have quickly fills up; no matter how much I seem to have, I always seem to never have enough. In an effort to maximize the storage space underneath my little guys bath vanity, I put together this simple lazy susan using just a couple purchased supplies and few items around the house. I love the fact that the double tier fills the open space in the tall base cabinets which is usually left unused. The finished project actually turned out cuter than expected and can be used for a multitude of purposes {such as a rotating dessert tray or condiment stand} I almost feel bad putting it underneath the sink. Due to the fact that the stand was going to be placed inside a cabinet, I wanted it to easily rotate so the items in the back could be within a spin away. The feet were attached with Gorilla Glue Epoxy. For the actual stand I used two inexpensive wooden platters {purchased from the dollar store} and a metal candle stick. Enjoy!

DIY Spice Rack With Dollar General Supplies This post brought to you by Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine. I don't know about you, but when cabin fever starts setting in, I start to really notice all of the disorganization around my house. Project estimate: Divided trays, $3 each (I used two) Bamboo skewers, on hand or $1 Paint, on hand Glue, on hand Duct tape, on hand or $1 and up Cardboard, on hand Picture hangers (or soda can tabs), on hand Total: about $6 and up The folks at Dollar General must be thinking ahead to spring cleaning already, because my local store has recently received a whole bunch of really cute storage-y stuff in various sizes. In particular, I was drawn to some cardboard organizers each consisting of three squares. I was pleased to discover that the sections of the box were just the right size to hold the Clover Valley herbs and spices that Dollar General sells. I used two of the containers stacked together to make my spice rack. Now to start reinforcing the bond. Now to add hanging hardware.
How to Attach Metal in Assemblage Art - Cloth Paper Scissors Today - Blogs When my husband returned from a trip to Hawaii last month, he brought home coconuts for our daughters, a pair of earrings for me, some Kona coffee, and three odd looking, rusty pieces of metal he found on the ground. Yes, Nick has joined the found object assemblage art club. Now, everywhere he goes, you'll find him looking down. He doesn't want to miss out on some undiscovered treasure he can reuse. Nick has always collected odd stuff; he likes to fix things, and bits and pieces always come in hand. I also like to think he was inspired by this metal and found object wreath assemblage I made for the holidays last year. Metal assemblages are fun to make. Wire it. Glue it. Screw it. Stitch it. Chain it. Otherwise, keep your head down! P.S.
Under-The-Sink Organization Solutions The area under the sink has to be one of the most challenging areas of the home to both utilize and organize. Fighting with the awkwardness of most sink cabinets, and the plumbing for the sink, finding a way to utilize all of the space can be difficult. But, I assure you, getting effective use out of the under-sink area is possible! And, not only is it possible, but you will love the results! One of the absolute most important ways to maximize storage in this area is to utilize the vertical space. This can be accomplished by purchasing stackable, narrow shelving units that are specifically made for the narrow confines of the under-sink cabinet. My second favorite way to get the most out of the space is to utilize the space on the insides of the cabinet doors. I’m thinking about adding the shoe organizer option in our house, either in the linen closet or the guest bathroom. In addition to the shoe organizer, I’m dying to DIY some vertical storage systems for our master bathroom vanity!
