Organize Sheet Sets/Linen Closet
 |
I always wanted my linen closet to be organized. I hated having the sides stick out and not perfect. Well... now things are different and my linen closet looks perfect. All you have to do is tuck the sheet set inside one of the pillowcases. If you have different size beds you can stack according to size or by the room the sheets belong to.
Old Clothes
New Idea:
Flip all your hanger to the same direction. After you have worn the clothes flip the hanger the opposite way. After each season, donate any clothes that are still facing the original way. If your not wearing it get rid of it.

Christmas Decoration
Don't Waste a Good Wine Cup
Really good christmas idea with a wine cup. Can't wait for the holidays to add a couple of these:
A beutiful flower inside the wine cup with a candle on top. You could do a red or green candle with pine cones inside the wine cup.
If you need wedding decorations how cute would the wine cup be with a candle and a shade. Imagine how cute it would look at night with all the candles on. Love it!!
Decorating for Christmas part 1
For a few weeks now I have been looking for something to put on top of my coffee table...after searching everywhere for something not to big...or to small...I decided to make something. Currently in my family room I have a lot of gray (picture to come) and white, so I decided how about adding something red.
Well I found a big...what I call...big martini cup and added some Christmas Pear Ornaments. I took out the little hanging "thing" and made them look like red pears. It was the perfect size and exactly what I was looking for.

Silkie Chicken
My New Love
I don't know about you but I would love to have a little pet chicken. I am only thinking of the positive things for example: cuddling, running after each other, dressing it up, etc. Now the negative I don't even want to think about. For now a girl can only dream about a pet chicken and maybe a pet pig (little one). Love it..
