Button Jars

I posted a request for baby food jars last night on FB. Got a reply from a friend this morning saying she had some. She has been saving them even though her husband couldn't understand why she was. She said she knew one day someone would want them or she would find a use for them. She said she couldn't wait to tell him she was right.

Went at lunchtime to Lowes to look at paint. I'm thinking of adding a third accent color. I had found the name of the yellow on the paint can, but I didn't write down the name of the green. I stood there for about 20 minutes trying to find it. All of a sudden I remembered that I was just starting to blog when I was doing this. Sure enough there was a blog post with the paint colors in it. I really wanted to do a happy dance in the store.

As I have been moving around in this room I have decided I really don't like the dressers in the room. They don't work for me. I don't like getting in them. I would rather just see the yarn.

Looked around on my favorite place, Pintrest, and came up with an idea similar to this.

I am just going to use it for my yarn instead of shoes. That way I will be able to see it at a glance. I am going to divide it into cubbies like this. I bough white duct tape to find it together and to coordinate in the room. It will also make it stronger.

Came home with the baby food jars and put them straight into a sink of hot water to get labels off. The have redesigned the labels. They are more of a clear sticker now. I had to use a knife and a lot of elbow grease to peel them off. I tried two different things and couldn't get the glue to come off. Guess I will have to buy some Goo Gone.
