My Pantry Challenge



I was the other day blog hopping on my own and came across a new blog good cheap eats .She must of been  having the same brain waves I was having the other day and thought the same thing. You see I was suppose to get that new fridge the other day, (did not come in yet), so I had been thinking for the past couple of weeks how I need to empty out the old for the new. I was also thinking I should stretch it out to  include also the freezer(s) in the garage. Then I came across the pantry challenge. So why not take a challenge where I can eat from my pantry, clean out and organize the freezers and also my mess in the pantry. You see how do I know what I have until I get in there and see but right now I have to dig.

You need to see what I'm dealing with and I feel like I'm about to show you my private undie drawer or something. Nobody looks in these spots but "the man of the place" and I.  Deep breathe, OK,  here goes;


Old freezer.


Old fridge


The big upright freezer in garage

The door to the upright

I called this the old 'deep freeze glaciar' freezer,
Needs to be defrosted


The pantry

So by the looks of it we should have no problem eating from my pantry and such for at least a month.
I  hope my stitching buddy Pam doesn't see this, she would be shocked or maybe not.  I need her to come over and give me organizing tip and tricks. She is the most organized person I know. 
I give myself until next week to get all these areas organized and I will post the results. I should have my new fridge by then too.

Till next time

P.S. This should be my last post on this laptop, the replacement is in route to be deliver and I hope to have it up and running by this evening
YEA!

    If you think your freezer and pantry's a mess, you ain't been at my place yet. There is worse, believe me....!

  2. Mine, too. I recently had to get a new fridge, and some of the pickles were 4 years out of date. Now it's almost empty and I don't want to buy groceries in case it gets full again!

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
