new house project

I love these quick projects that can help keep my house organized.  Being organized makes me happy.  It is so much easier to have fun and relax in a de-cluttered house.

for my earrings:

I didn’t come up with this idea on my own.  I wish I could remember where I saw it.

for our mail:

I used the great tutorial and printable labels from Bright and Blithe.

for our recipes:

We have cookbooks that need to be returned to the library and random photocopies from other borrowed cookbooks, so I thought it was time to pull everything together into one organized system.  I still need to find a box, but I am going to use these recipe cards from The Small Object Steno Pad (a favorite of mine.)  You can download them and print them from her blog.

I also want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has purchased something from our etsy shop this week.  I still want to donate more to Haiti relief, so please check out what we have left.  I will add a few more items today as well, including a tea pot and some more paper lantern cups.

Unfortunately we do not have any more children’s pottery available at this time.  We are having some trouble getting the colors to come out consistently, so Junji is going to do some more glaze + clay body testing.  Our goal is to have them available again by the beginning of March.
