I sorted, folded, and organized another basket of fabric scraps.  I still have a giant bag with more, but I’m making progress.  After checking various resale and dollar stores, I found the perfect containers for organizing the scrap fabrics.  Here’s a picture of what I have organized so far.  I tried to put similar colors [...]

Organizing my flour, sugar, etc….

I used to keep my flour, sugar, etc. in my kitchen cupboards.  They were in tupperware containers.  I thought that they were safe from bugs.  I was wrong.  Even plastic bags didn’t work.  Thus, I moved things to the fridge.
I found that it was easier to measure flour, sugar, etc. from plastic bags, so I [...]
