It's time to get ORGANIZED! <h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Household Notebook </span></i></b></h2>
<br />
It took me a while to get my household notebook together. I thought and thought about what I needed and what exactly I wanted to keep track of in this binder. I knew menus and cleaning. It took me a bit to decide what else. So I wrote a summary of my average week during the school year and during the summer and came up with dividers for my binder. Then I searched the Internet (mostly pinterest) and found printables that met my needs and what I didn't find, I just made up myself in a word processor or spread sheet program. My dividers are:<br />
<br />
Personal: All about me. My schedule, my workouts, my food diary, my prayer list, my spa tasks, everything about me. <br />
<br />
Home: All about the house. Cleaning, maintenance, yard, garden, etc. <br />
<br />
Kitchen: All about food. Menus, inventory, grocery lists, etc.<br />
<br />
Kids: Their schedules, chore charts, growth charts, etc. <br />
<br />
Pets: Shot records, vet info, meds, etc.<br />
<br />
Husband: His schedule, chore chart, etc. ( I doubt this section gets much use!) :) <br />
<br />
Crafts: Inventory, project list, etc.<br />
<br />
Finance: Budget, bill paying, creditors, etc.<br />
<br />
Family: Friday Fun Night, vacations, events, etc. <br />
<br />
Misc: This is everything else that I didn't really need a separate divider for. Addresses and phone numbers, passwords, etc. <br />
<br />

First of all I am a jotter. I jot down things quickly and then record them on calendars or lists. So I attached a small clip board and pad to the front of my binder. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTWZlizsa5FCl83VBByckF8LGu20LgfqGbkk2nI0ndwMWtKIixxDmuHBYGbT-Qqjy1iOySUsjVs95JCy8KwiGEqxxbVwsk5Cp9ltMv0aEkTtUjf4ciAmyfFvM29HfPHE0fr8aIybua_M83/s1600/20140622_233520.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTWZlizsa5FCl83VBByckF8LGu20LgfqGbkk2nI0ndwMWtKIixxDmuHBYGbT-Qqjy1iOySUsjVs95JCy8KwiGEqxxbVwsk5Cp9ltMv0aEkTtUjf4ciAmyfFvM29HfPHE0fr8aIybua_M83/s1600/20140622_233520.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I attached a calculator and pen pouch with paper clips, pencil, and fine point sharpies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The fine point sharpies are because I laminated all of the printable sheets I printed and the sharpies write on them and erase with a magic eraser. I didn't want to stop following my binder because I didn't have a page printed or ran out of computer ink or something else. I know me and I am easily unorganized. So the laminated sheets keep me from getting behind on being together! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did buy 2 desk calendars from Walmart that were 8x11 and I punched holes. I bought 2 because I use one as a master calendar and one for just the kids schedule. They have their own section in my binder and they like to look at their schedules too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I made a second binder just for recipes. My menu planning has 7 categories. <br />
<br />
Meatless Monday<br />
Tex-Mex Tuesday<br />
What's in the Pot Wednesdays<br />
Anything Can Happen Thursdays<br />
Family Fun Night Fridays<br />
Soup Salad and Sandwich Saturdays<br />
Grilling Sunday<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I picked recipes and recipes ideas for each category and put them behind the dividers for each day. It has really helped me have a variety of food and not get stuck on the same old things. <br />
<br />
I also have a section for favorites, desserts, snacks, breakfast, lunch, and side dishes. If I don't write it down I don't remember. So I write it down! <br />
<br />
<br />
I would post links to all the pages I printed but to be honest as I was searching half were broken links and I didn't save any except the ones that were PDF files. So I can't really put a good list on here. I will tell you, Kidz Points has some great charts for kids, frugal living at About.com has a good list, and organized household has some good ones too. Pinterest has links to several but they are hit and miss. <br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Happy Organizing! </h2>

But I have been busy. This last week I have been taking advantage of my kids being at grandma's house and I built the cover for the dog kennels I have been wanting to build. It was really inexpensive and I had all the wood cut at Home Depot, so I didn't lose any fingers either! I personally hate the way dog kennels detract from your home decor and I wanted a solution. So I searched the internet and pinterest for a few ideas and this is what I came up with. </span><br />

My mother in law showed me how to make these a few years back and I had a blast making holiday ones for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas last year. At first I was going to just make a few for my girls but as I started making them, I had so much fun that I made them for everyone in my extended family. And I am now getting requests for more. <br />
<br />
I swear I sleep better on my homemade pillow cases than I ever did before. There is just something about that special little touch that makes everything better. And a pillow case is one of those little things that brings a smile to your face at the end of a busy or tiring day. It screams "lay on me" which translates into rest, peace, and tranquility to this busy mom! <br />
<br />
You can personalize these easily also. Embroidered names, initials, holiday greetings are a few ideas you could do. Also a crocheted trim, adding rick rack, ribbon, or buttons would make this an even more special treasure. But for this tutorial we are going to focus solely on the actual pillow case and we will leave the embellishing for another post. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Things you will need to make one standard size pillow case: <br />
<br />
A. One 9"x 42" strip of fabric<br />
B. One 3"x 42" strip of fabric <br />
C. One 26" x 42" piece of fabric <br />
D. Coordinating thread<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, the first thing you do is pre-wash and dry your fabric. Then lightly iron it and you are ready to cut. A standard pillow case is usually 21x32. So we need to cut 3 pieces of fabric. Two of these will be our band and the largest will be our body of the case. OK, lets cut one 9" wide, one 3" wide, and one 26" wide. All the pieces should be 42" in length and we will use a 5/8" seam throughout.<br />
<br />
Next, lets take our 3" band piece and iron it in half. Meaning fold in half length ways so that measures 1.5" ( Picture A). <br />
<br />
Next, we are going to lay out our pieces. Take your body piece right side facing up and lay the 1.5" band on top with the fold going down and the open seams together. Next lay your 9" band right side together. Basically we are making a sandwich with the folded 3" band in the middle. (Picture B) <br />
<br />
Pin and sew. Trim your seam and press the 9" band up and away from the body. (Picture C) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, we are going to flip our work and press the other end of the 9" band in 5/8". Fold the band in half matching our previously sewn stitch line to our pressed seam. Press and pin in place. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are ready to sew. Using a matching thread and sewing on the right side of the fabric, stitch a as close to the edge of the 2 joining fabrics as possible. This gives it a very neat and tidy stitch line. (Pictured D,E,F) Press. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now place right sides together, matching the bands, and stitch outer and bottom seams of the case. You could be done here, but I go ahead and serge the seams to give it a more finished look. If you do not have a Serger, simply run a zig-zag stitch just on the outside of your seam and trim the excess, being careful not to cut your stitches! Congratulations you just finished your new one of a kind pillow case! SWEET DREAMS!! </div>

I added a crochet edging just for fun. It's easy! Simply add a blanket stitch and then a row of single crochet and then whatever edging stitches you choose. <br />

I have 2 little girls ( 6 and 7 year old). Hair is how we ornament for school. SO I decided this year, rather than going to Sam Moon and spending $50.00 on hair stuff that breaks easily, I'd make it myself. <br />
<br />
Grab some things like yarn, bobby pins, some floral pieces, buttons, hot glue, pony tail holders, jewels and ribbon. <br />
<br />
Use your imagination. The possibilities are endless. <br />

If you embroider or even sew alot you know how annoying it is to have thread in containers or drawers and never know exactly what you have. I always seem to buy the same colors over and over because I forget what I have got and don't go digging to see. My mother in law bought several of the thread organizers from JoAnn Fabrics and hung them on her wall and it gave me an idea. Thread organizers run from $50-$70 dollars and they hold about 60 spools. I have more than 60 spools and I wasn't about to pay $140.00 to organize my thread. So I decided to make my own. <br />

I took a left over piece of peg board, some thin wood strips and some bamboo kabob sticks and Voila a thread organizer for less than $15.00. <br />

Then I cut the bamboo kabob sticks down the the proper length and hot glued them into the peg holes. You need to space your sticks out so that each spool has room. I used a pattern of every other hole and every other line. I tried to illustrate it in the above photo. </div>

I have 2 little girls and dressing them appropriately has been an adventure the last year. My 7 year old is a size 8-10 and everything in the stores has something written on it that I do not feel is appropriate. You know the "hottie" or "Rock-n-Roll" or the ever popular skull and cross bones. I just don't want my 1st grader sporting around a "I'm a Hottie" t-shirt at the park! :D. Fortunately, good ole walmart has plain colored knit shirts. The problem is they are PLAIN! I ran across a seasonal sale table last week with a bunch of long sleeve knit shirts for only $3 each. I decided to up cycle them into some cute summer shirts. Knit is pretty darn easy to play with, so here is what I did to the first one. </div>

<br />I cut the sleeves and bottom off and added lettuce leaf trim using a satin stitch and stretching the fabric as I sewed it. <br />

I LOVE spending time outside in my yard. We plant some herbs and few vegetables every year and this year is no different. My girls and I have already started my seedlings in my kitchen window and the last 2 days I cleaned up my deck area and cleaned out my old flower pots for new plantings! I found these really cool PLASTIC Adirondack style chairs at Lowe's. I love anything plastic. It cleans up well. Kids and animals in my life force me to LOVE anything that cleans up easy! Anyway, these chairs have inspired my garden theme this year. It's a kids theme because my kids LOVE to garden with me and I love anything the make and help me do.<em> </em>We are going eclectic with primary colors. We are recycling/up cycling, redecorating, repainting, and reusing everything in our garden this year. You have to let me know what you think so far. Here are a few pics of what we have done so far. <br />

The entire piece is worked in the back loops. I used an I hood and red heart yarn. <br />
<br />
Chain 51 <br />
<br />
Row 1 <br />
<br />
Work hdc in second ch from hook and across ( 50 hdc) ch 1 turn<br />
<br />
Row 2-64 <br />
Work hdc in each hdc across, ch 1 turn. ( remember back loops only) <br />
<br />
Finish off , fold in half ( at the 32 row mark) and hand stitch the sides together and half way across the bottom. Stuff with filling, finish stitching up bottom. Done! <br />
<br />
Uses as many or as few colors as you like to match your decor. <br />

SO I went and bought paint yesterday and I am proud to say that I am more than 3/4 of the way done with her room. Of course I painted the walls first. They were an ugly gray when we bought the house last year but now they are the perfect shade of Tinkerbell green. I added wall stickers and crafted a bed canopy today. I still need to get the bedding out, sew some curtains, and add some finishing touches but all in all I am really happy with my progress. <br />

I also made a little holder for her books out or wire hangers, but I haven't decided if I like that or not yet. So we will see if it stays. <br />

The bed canopy was kinda a pain because I knew how I wanted it to look but I wasn't sure how I was going to get there. In the end I am happy with it and so is she. ( Which is the most important part!) <br />
<br />
I used the dome top of an old bird cage and I attached it to the wall with mirror hangers. You know the little plastic ones that have a ridge to hold frame less mirrors? <br />
<br />
I tied purple tulle to the sides and back of the frame and them I took some satin and stitched out some leaves. ( suppose to look like Tinkerbell;s dress bottom). <br />

Let me just tell ya, this satin is some fraying stuff to work with and it LOVES to move. I used straight pins and bobby pins to keep it in place. I also used a satin stitch to form the leaves. <br />

So this is what I have done so far. What do you think?? Does the bed look like a Tinkerbell bed or am I just bias?? <br />
<br />
<br />
By the way, I bought everything for this room except the paint online. I love online shopping. :D <br />

I guess they get rid of them monthly and my hubby ( being totally aware of what a recycle and frugal nut I am) correctly grabbed them up and brought them home for me. Thanks Honey! Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I hated the plastic white containers they came in. I guess they weren't giving away the pretty ceramic pots they had them in!
Anyway, since they were free, I wanted to keep them as free as possible and I didn't want to go buy 4 expensive pretty pots. So I put my thinking cap on and decided to Modge Podge the white plastic one with brown paper.
<br />
<br />
Here's what happened!
It was easy peasy! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
First I tore and modge podged the brown paper around the containers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I stained the paper with a tea bag and covered the entire area with another coat of modge podge. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I them added some floral moss and tied a thin piece of hemp string around the top of the pot. I guess I did that for good measure, because it really doesn't add anything to the over all look! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DONE! No more ugly white plastic pot! And it didn't cost me a penny. Gotta LOVE FREE! </div>

I spent my Saturday afternoon crocheting different patterns I found across the web. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hair accessories was the goal. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I played around a little with the patterns and combined the spiral ties and flowers to make my own floral ponytail ties. I liked each of the patterns alot. They stitched out well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
I also made some little hair bows. Messing around with some yarn one night I accidentally made a bow with some scrap yarn. And Tada! Almost free hair bows. So I went to Sally's and bought a package of 24 barrettes for 3 dollars ( you could use bobby pins too but the barrettes work better in the hair) and I made some bows.<br />

Cut a piece of yarn long enough to wrap around the center of the bow enough times to make the center knot. I did some fat and some thin. </div>

For a little variety I crocheted one in back loops only and it gives it a ribbed look. You could also add a little button to the center knot or a jewel, etc. Fun Fun! </div>

I found the pattern following some links from crochetpatterncentral.com <br />
<br />
<br />
( I used cotton yarn because I happen to love cotton yarn, but the original poster said to look for something that was a cotton blend of 70 cotton/30 nylon. I didn't have any and wanted to try this pattern. So I used what I had. So far, it's worked out just fine.) <br />
<br />
Anyway, here is this great pattern! Hat's off to befriendmantic!!! <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using a size G hook and peaches and cream yarn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chain 38</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rd 1 Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and across, ch 1 turn ( 36 hdc)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rd 2 ( back loops only) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
hdc in each hdc across, chain 1 turn ( 36 hdc) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rd 3-6 repeat rd 2 ( still working in back loops only) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fasten off leaving a long enough tail to sew around the perimeter of the sponge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To form the sponge fold the rectangle you just made in half. Using a crochet needle , stitch sponge together with tail left from finishing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Done! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You could get fancy and put a trim on the sponge, but I like the size these turn out. They are the perfect size for my hand and to reach into corners, etc. </div>
