Tackle it Tuesday #142
An old trunk. What treasure? What heirloom could it be holding? Oh, I must find out! Aggghhh! What is this MESS?! A game trunk that needs Organization. It happened one evening my little ones and some other small visitors had a lot of [choke, choke] fun seeing how many games they could pull out. Havoc was wreaked. This has nagged me for weeks but I determined to tackle it this week. I bought a few plastic storage containers. Two big ones that will store 2 or 3 games each (depending on the size) and a smaller shoe box size one to hold card games. My thinking is that if they…

My tackle this week was to get some bulk cooking done for different guests we have coming to visit. Who wouldn’t want to visit Arizona with all the sunshine and nice temperatures we have in the winter? I decided to make lasagna. First, I had to make the sauce. Lots of onions and garlic. Good stuff. I tried a new sauce that called for fresh and canned tomatoes. After the simmering process, I then put it through the blender to puree. Twelve pounds of ricotta was used as well as mozzarella and Parmesan. Whoa! That’s a lot of cheese! The finished products. Enough lasagna to feed at least 45 people.…

Tackle It Tuesday #140
I looked in this cupboard one evening and the utter untidiness of it all struck me. What a mess! This has got to change! Hmmm, how could I improve it? Then I had an aha moment. I remembered these little organizers I had tried to sell for $.25 at my first ever garage sale and nobody had wanted them. Thankfully – since now they would come in very handy. Oh, yes. Muuuch better. I love it! The trays on the left are used very infrequently so it matters not that they’re stacked because when I do need them, I’ll just slide them out, choose my paper and then slide it…

Tackle it Tuesday #139
Another task completed that’s been hanging over my head for probably a few years. Oh, the shame of it! But no longer! This week I tackled a bit of mending. The binding on a quilt that my grandmother had made had came undone in an small area but had got worse since I had neglected to stitch it up promptly. I have another one that needs my attention as well, but at least this one is done! To see what others have tackled this week go here.

Tackle it Tuesday #138
I was determined to get it done – although as the deadline for Tackle it Tuesday neared I almost caved in and didn’t complete it for yet another week. What am I talking about? Two little letters – one a thank you note that’s 1 1/2 months overdue, and one an email that should have been sent 4 months ago. Talk about procrastination! I love writing on my blog. Why can’t I be timely in my letters? I don’t know but thanks to Tackle it Tuesday it is now done!! Want to see what others have tackled this week? Go here.
