Use It Or Lose It - Declutter and Get Organized

My husband had to work today, boohoo!  

But it does give me a day to blog, 

organize and plan my first month of 

the year!  A really good thing.

I wrote a post a few month back

Organizing One Room At A Time.

 My motto for the year is to continue

 organizing one room at a time and 

to save money(who doesn't want to save) 

by using what I have. I've been a crafter, 

sewer, baker, and quilter for many years.  

Therefore, I have many things in 

my kitchen cabinets, in my fabric 

and crafting stash that may not be 

of use to me any more.  

But, I also have many things that I 

know I can put into good use in 2015. 

Having more isn't alway best, but 

it can help me to

 save and spend a little on things I need 

to finish up a project.

Furthermore, its time to declutter and

reorganize areas of my life, areas in 

my home, and become more productive

 with my time. Decluttering

has always been a challenge for 

me. As I tend to get rid of 

stuff at a slow pace.  I have to 

realize that giving things away 

will benefit others, selling a 

few things will put money in my pocket,

 and tossing those unuseful 

items will either allow me to 

 replace it with something new 

or simply free up some 

needed space.

I challenge all of you to 

grab my button, 

Use It Or Lose!!! 

Free yourself from clutter.

  Let's create!

I know we've heard that saying 
before regarding our weight. This 
is some what different.  Of course, 
you can make a recipe with items in 
your kitchen. 

Let's be creative and (Use It) 
use what we have and only 
purchase items we need to finish 

up our projects. 

                                                             

It's been a desire of mine to make 
it a normal thing for me to do. 
I thought, I can't be the only one 
with that desire.  I hope you all 
will join me on this new venture, 
Use It Or Lose It!

I hope to have a linky button so that 
we can link up those fabulous 
Use It Or Lose It projects/items 

we've decided to keep, give away or 
toss.  My first linky party will be 
February 1, 2015 and hopefully 

continue on the first of every month!

But in January, I will start 
to organize my 

Living Room/Dining Room area 
(it's one room) at a time!  
Come join the party!!!

Please leave me a comment 
if you're interested!!

 I need all your support and help 
to launch this new 

slogan! Use It Or Lose It!!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new 
creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

   

Make A Ruffled Onesie and Headband-#DIY

I made a cute little onesie and 

matching headband.

I purchased the onesie at Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon.

I pulled out some lace I already had.  You can measure 

around the neck line or the area you want to add ruffles

 and double that number to determine how much lace 

you'll need.  If you have lace already ruffled, 

 cut according to your measurement plus 1"

 for tucking under the edges.

Then I basted the lace, in the center, with my

 sewing machine and pulled the thread to gathered the lace.

I pinned the lace around the edge of the neck line

 (not shown) and tucked the ends.  Then I sewed

the lace, onto the onesie, on the basting line. 

Next, I placed the next row underneath the

 first row of lace.  Repeat one more time. 

Only this time make the third row shorter 

and turn under the edges and stitch in place.  

Don't forget to remove any basting threads. 

I happened to have these small yellow flowers, 

so I tacked one of them on to the onesie.

The yellow headband was purchased.   I used this 

black flower and tacked it down with my 

sewing machine.  First, I trim any excess 

tulle around the black flower.  Then I tacked 

on the small yellow flower.

Here's the completed set.  So simply!!  

You can #DIY 

too!

All for my new grandbaby, Autumn Christine Joy!!

Weighted in at 9 pounds and measured 22 inches.

So beautiful and precious!  Our new bundle of joy!!!
