Trying to organize.

I tend to be a collector, but at the same time I can't stand clutter. I would love to have my Living magazines all neatly stored in the bookshelf, but there is just no space. We are more than likely moving this year and I'm getting in my purging mode. Joanne over at her blog had a great idea for her magazines articles. Take all the articles you like and put them in a binder. Brilliant yet so simple. I needed another binder for misc. stuff. I didn't know what to name it since I have more than one hobby. So I named it "Artsy, Sewing, Knitting, and Whatever Stikes My Fancy." I've had a little recipe binder for years where I've kept recipes. I don't why I didn't think about doing it for other stuff.

Fall Decor

I'm trying to make it feel like Fall, at least in my home. We bought some pumpkins and dried corn at the pumpkin patch this weekend. Actually one of those little pumpkins is fake. It looked good with the arrangment.

I was inspired by artsycraftybabe . She made beautiful garland out of felt. I thought I'd give it a try. I've seen Martha do something similar on her show. Needless to say I wasn't too happy with it. The leaves are too big. I should have made them slightly smaller. Oh well, sometimes in craftland it's about the process not the product. Next year I'll try it again.
