I did that not long ago and was appalled at how out dated 7/8 of my spices were. A few knives have moved into that drawer.

Making a commitment to weeding them out tomorrow at 1:00. I am lucky enough to have two little tip-out drawers near my sink. I keep the cleaning tooth brush in one along with the sink stopper. In the other I keep the peeler,a vegetable scrubbing brush and a can opener. Since I use those things at the sink that's where I keep them. My bottle brush is in a tall vase under the sink. Pizza cutter goes in the knife drawer since it is sharp and I have grandkids.

I am delighted how this project is processing.

Ugh. The joys of living on an island in SE Alaska. I hope it is still available the next time I get to Seattle. <br /><br />I started purging about 3 weeks ago when I returned from a trip to the lower 48. It feels great! I'm cleaning at the same time in preparation for family Christmas dinner at my home this year. And for the first time, I'm going to try to do your mystery quilt!

After we repaired the book case I ended up going through every quilt book I own. Most of them are back on the shelf except for a duplicate I found (means you have way too many books)and some I decided I can live without. I believe a few more may move to than category over the next few months.spacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16529085224508496501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-36749247721179283022014-11-14T20:56:21.999-05:002014-11-14T20:56:21.999-05:00You make me laugh!

It was recommended in the book Creating Your Perfect Sewing Space and I LOVE it. So much storage in those top 3 drawers as well as all the open area below. I'm sure you saw that you can get it with ALL drawers but I figured you can get more in the 2 lower shelves being open. It's just dandy! Top is perfect for cutting. I also bought 4 of the Billy bookcases as 3 stacks of fabric fits perfectly when wrapped around an 8.5" ruler, then folded in half. My sewing room has stayed very well organized with these additions.
