DIY: Mail Holder
Having realized that my pile of mail-to-be-read was not very aesthetically pleasing, I realized a solution must be found. Of course, Pinterest inspired again. Noodlehead includes instructions on a beautiful and functional holder that not only allows me to organize my mail-to-be-read, but also my magazines.
DIY: Extra Toilet Paper Holder
We have quite a small bathroom, so having a cute little paper towel rack taking up space is out of the question; however, this easy sewing project is a great solution. Tracy's Treasury has excellent directions with many photos of the sewing process. I was able to use some leftover fabric from a plastic bag holder I had made earlier.
DIY: Plastic Bag Holder
Recently I borrowed my mother-in-law's sewing machine to make items for our sugar gliders' cage... once those were made, I scavenged Pinterest, looking for easy and useful sewing projects. This quick project was found on Make it and Love it. The bag has an elastic top and bottom, with the top being bigger (to allow for easy bag stuffing) and the bottom being smaller (to allow for single-bag grabbing). I hung mine on our pantry door.
DIY: Menu Board
The bane of my week is menu planning. I despise getting close to dinner time and having the typical conversation in which both people claim to not care what is for dinner... what's worse is when we decide upon something and realize we don't have the ingredients! I found this idea on Once Upon a Chocolate Chip Pancake... and it's helped tremendously.
At the beginning of the week I pull out 7 menu cards and clip them to the board. Each card has the entree (and possible sides) listed on the front, and then the ingredients on the back. This means that I can simply throw the cards in my purse and have a ready-made grocery list. Once a week I do the major grocery shopping with these cards, then the remainder of the week I rest easy knowing I have all we need to make dinner for the week.
Creating this board is easy and cheap... check out Once Upon a Chocolate Chip Pancake's website to see how.
