Clutter got you down? Read on...
If you are anything like me, clutter is simply a part of your life -- and that's actually OK. What is not OK is to let your clutter interfere with the enjoyment of your home and your friends. Here, you'll find some ideas on how to declutter and have some fun along the way. Two of my favorite declutter sources -- Flylady (ongoing newsletter) and Declutter Fast (ebook) have convinced me that it is the small steps we take on a daily basis that really make the difference.
This is my first successful year composting. One of my composting guides suggested planting directly in the compost pile. This is the result -- the picture shows a pumpkin vine growing on a 6' fence. I'm still debating whether to build supports for the pumpkins or just cut it off the fence and lay it on the ground.
Ever so often I like to take a snapshot of the hanging rack in my kitchen. Long ago I determined that between the cast iron and the copper, I would never have enough storage space. My husband came up with this free-standing rack made of 3" square display racks. What is there and the location of each item changes quite frequently, so it is fun to watch it change with the seasons. In winter, you'll see herbs hanging to dry, and at Christmas I try to weave a few lights throughout for cheer.
