My New Recycled Basket

I needed a cool container quick. So I found some fabric and the glue gun in the craft box.
Here is the ugly plastic container. I am starting to hate plastic really bad. I think there is nothing good about it.
I found this piece of fabric. Perfect size!
I glued it to the side.
Then I glued it to the inside.
I just keep gluing along the inside edges.

Inside is all done.
I took the extra fabric and glued it along the front.
Yay, I like it!
I wanted to hang it on the wall so I needed to cover up the bottom. I took a piece of denim and glued the sides down.
More gluing :0
All done!
There it is on the wall. I have to put everything on the walls, because my kids get into everything.

Spring Cleaning/Garage Sale

This weekend I am having my first garage sale. I will be very busy this week getting prepared! This is my first step in getting organized and going simple. My neighbor is having one and invited me to join in on the fun. I figure this is the best way to get some spring cleaning done. It is also going to help me keep my house clean cause I am going to TRY to get rid of lots of stuff. I am really bad at getting rid of things. I am going to use the if I have not used it in a year it's gone method. What ever I do not sell is getting donated. How do you get rid of stuff?
