This Is Us

  We don't have a very big pantry.  So, Nick built this  Food Storage  shelving system in our basement for most of our food and we just keep a few things upstairs in our  Pantry  that we can grab quickly. When we moved in there were a few little basket storage things screwed to the back of the door.  We have been using those since we move in, which was in 2011. I finally had enough and decided that we needed more storage on the door.  I was able to find this one and I love it. It is made of plastic and some metal, so it's not the best built, but so far, it's held up.

We just listed these wash cloths/dish cloths in our Etsy shop:  Valentine’s Day Wash Cloth  My aunt also makes these. She made these  Valentine’s Day Dish Scrubbers  also. She is so talented!

  My aunt made these and gives them to me to sell. I just listed these scrubbers in our Etsy store:  Valentine’s Day Dish Scrubbers  She also made these  Valentine’s Day Wash Cloth

  We had this  Sink Organizer  in our sink for the scrubbies and stuff, but then I found a dark one and like it so much better! It matches our kitchen better. I found it in the dollar bins at Target.

  I hate our plastic food storage containers being all over. I didn’t use anything special for this. I just stacked them and keep them together. Everyone in our home enjoys these being organized, so it doesn’t get messed up. Or, maybe they just know it bothers me and so they love me and keep it this way. 😁

I have been doing a lot more crocheting. I really enjoy it. It’s therapeutic, relaxing, and it makes me feel great when I’ve completed a project. I’ve made several things, but yesterday I completed another hot pad. This time I attached a loop so it can be hung from a hook. I’ve been thinking of selling them, but I don’t think anyone would buy them. Anyway… here it is!

  We just listed these cute flower scrubbies in our Etsy shop.  They are crocheted and well made. There are five different colors, but there is only one of each color. So if you want a certain color, you better hurry and buy it before it’s gone. You can click the link in our Instagram profile, go through our Facebook page or  Click Here

At the beginning of February we participated in a homestead picture challenge on Instagram. We got to meet some new friends. One of which is  Home To Roost Co   They have so many awesome things in their Etsy shop! You should definitely check them out! We bought a chicken cutting board and a wood sign for spring. We put the cutting board behind our jars. And the sign on our piano. Doesn’t it look great?! We think so!

  I love our sink. It has two sections, one small and one large. The large side is nice for washing big things, and I can use the smaller side for filling up with hot soapy water so I can mop the floor.  When Lorena was alive she and JoElla would make scrubbies for all the holidays. Now it’s just JoElla. I used to have them on a suction cup with a hook, but recently I found this metal holder at Target. I had the yellow scrapper (for scrapping cheese off dishes) and magic eraser just sitting behind the faucet, but it would get really dirty back there. With this metal holder I can have all of it stored in it, and it drains access water into the sink. This is the suction cup. I had it stuck to the inside of the sink. This is the metal holder. It was only $4.00!
