- cleaning out the kitchen drawers - (amazing how many duplicates I had in those drawers)
- de-cluttering the kitchen cupboards - (I have sorted all the plates, cups, mugs, bowls etc, but haven't gotten to the underneath cupboards as yet)

- I finally sorted out the sock basket....we have pairs again..yay!
WELCOME to my BLOG
Hi there!
I’m slowly working towards some simplicity within the home, but hey! It’s a lot of hard work!
I love having a go at growing my own veges and always use herbs fresh from my garden. I try to plant from seed whenever I can and have learnt to save and share my own seed for the following year. I make Award Winning preserves and pickles; and my husband brews Award Winning boutique beers as well. I love to stockpile and try to limit quick trips to the shops. I dabble in bread making and enjoy making my own stocks too.
I enjoy feeding my family good hearty meals, nothing like those tiny restaurant stacks you have to look for on the plate. My husband maintains our vehicles and machinery and we both enjoy fabricating on a small scale mostly relying on metal & timber recyclers for any materials needed.
While I don’t always have time to reply to comments, I love reading them. I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope you learn something new because I love sharing what I learn, and I'm always looking for another new skill myself.
Cheers!
Yes, it does make one more up to the challenge when another is doing the same. I saw on Rhonda's blog about how she was clearing some cupboards, and that clicked with me.
ReplyDeleteMy mom died in February, and I have kind of allowed things to clutter and get dusty, so her post jumpstarted me. I have been crazy cleaning since then.
I have loved coming to visit and enjoy how you share your simple life and knowledge.
I am a daily visitor since I found you!
Take care,
Jennifer
