Mismatched, ugly, too big, or just plain oddball buttons are perfect for tons of recycled kid projects that you can make on the fly. You don’t want to toss buttons, because they’ll just sit in that old landfill forever. Yeah one button is small, but many add up, and why not use them if you […]
You know the problem with having many blogs that sort of interrelate? You write stuff at one that would be just as useful at another.

I have to clean out my drawers. Jennifer from De-Clutter it would probably have a heart attack after looking in my drawers and closets and seeing the disorganized jumble of mess. One thing I have to deal with is a whole mess of single socks I won’t be using anymore. You know me, I […]
