I did a big shop at an outlet grocery store last week and need to make room for all the canned goods I bought.

I'm looking forward to getting my home organized once my daughter moves out as currently we have her possessions crammed in around the house and sheds. Its good to get bargains.

I still really need to do something about the kitchen, though; my family dumps everything on the table and my husband's chair ends up piled close to the ceiling (I wish that were an exaggeration) with Amazon boxes and mail that he hasn't gone through, and it looks terrible- but it's not my stuff and I don't want to make another job for myself by sorting through stuff that's not mine, you know?<br /><br />Keep up the great work, I'm glad you're able to get more of life back to normal. :)Stephaniehttps://stephaniegetsitdone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-63971062619142772512019-01-22T19:15:32.012-09:002019-01-22T19:15:32.012-09:00I've still been working on my January "Us...I've still been working on my January "Use-it-up" challenge. I am starting to see a few more spaces on my pantry shelves and in my freezers, but not very many. So, it's a good thing January isn't over yet:). I am very glad I was able to can and freeze so much from my garden last summer. It's really helping now. I did clean a few kitchen cupboards and am trying to organize the shelves in the pantry when I open up a gap. <br /><br />I started a baby quilt for my husband's nephew and wife. I haven't used those supplies much, if at all, since I moved into this house 2 years ago, and since all my possessions were in storage for months while we were in transition, everything was jumbled up and hard to find. I was able to find most of the fabric I needed, the supplies for cutting, blades for the cutter, and so forth. I sent my husband to the quilt shop with a couple of cute baby-themed pieces of fabric I found, and told him to have the ladies pick our a very few fat quarters that went with them. He is color blind. He did great, and yesterday, I cut out my 9 main blocks. I started sewing them today, and when I get those done, I'll figure out the rest! I'm excited that I found those things and that I can make a gift from things I mostly had on hand.Beckyhttp://beckyathome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-51127515873726073452019-01-22T18:40:51.380-09:002019-01-22T18:40:51.380-09:00Your kitchen looks lovely and tidy and it really d...Your kitchen looks lovely and tidy and it really does make a difference having everything nearby. I recently purchased a 3' wide and 6' tall metal shelving unit from IKEA and set it up in my dining room. I have a very small galley kitchen and I don't use my dining room all that often so I decided to put it to better use.<br />The new shelving unit allows me to stack things like small appliances and have them close to hand rather than away in a pantry cupboard out of sight. I finished the last bit of kitchen clear up this past weekend and managed it without having to buy any new storage containers.<br />It was Minus 38C here on Sunday night so it's been a good time to stay indoors and do this sort of work.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-43367537611267301122019-01-22T14:13:29.860-09:002019-01-22T14:13:29.860-09:00The closet looks great.
