Whew! Some of the dust settles in my Spring Cleaning Efforts
Act like you saw this a week ago. I forgot to hit PUBLISH!
If you’ve seen the little banner on the right side of Homemaking Organized then you know it’s Spring Cleaning time. At least in my home.
Like any women surrounded by junk I get the itch this time of year to see if I can put on a new faces at least in the hidden spaces of cupboards and closets. I admit that exposed surfaces are ‘okay’ but I know I can do better. I’m stuck in gardening mode and in attempting to sew my daughter some dresses since I’m so disgusted at what’s in the store but that’s another story.
This week, if you signed up for the Vintage Spring Cleaning ecourse a week ago, is all about the kitchen. Scrubbing it up and getting it cleaned out. As noted in the printable I’ve been cleaning a section a day. I actually started in on the freezer on Saturday. I’m taking it very easy because upending the house right now is not an option.
I have found that if I tackle one particular Spring Cleaning chore each day then things are much easier to digest and get done. That is how I set up the Vintage Spring Cleaning ecourse to be tackled a week at a time. You may finish said room in that time and you may not but it will be easier to make some headway when you work a little at a time.
Are you Spring Cleaning this year? And if so what room is really calling your name? This year it was my daughter’s room. I’m taking it a step at a time.
The Pea Trellis

I’ve been avoiding blogging because when I went to add my linky over at 5 Minutes for Mom I neglected to link directly to my UBP11 post and instead just linked to the whole blog….oh well.
Okay so here is my UBP11 post and then read on…
Right now I want to talk about Pea Trellises.
You know peas need to climb and there are so many things they can climb it might be hard to make a decision. I browsed around the internet and such and my mom drew up some plans (which she promptly signed as works of art so I didn’t take them from her.) So we used her plans and then I had my helpful nephew hack (that is my word for them) a simple frame to place over my pots.
I’ll take a picture one day. I’m too tired right now from all that fresh air.
I’ve never grown peas before. I’ve always wanted to. I’m growing 10 plants in a pot (is that too many). I have a Garden Patch pot. Wish me well.
You can get some ideas from these two videos.
