Plastic Yarn Box

Has your mother, your grandmother or yourself complained about all of your yarn being thrown into a basket or just scattered randomly around a room in the house after a long craft session? Well, there's an easy way to fix that with a simple DIY project! 

You can make a super simple yarn box right at home, likely with things that you probably already have around the house. All you need for this project is whatever sized plastic container that you need to accommodate the amount of yarn you have and something to poke holes in the lid of the container with. You will poke the holes, then slide each end of the stools of yarn through the holes out the top. After you replace the top, you can now grab yarn out of the box very easily, without the clutter of loose yarn around your craft room and home. 

If you have a lot of yarn to include, you can color code the yarn in an order that you choose so you know exactly where to go for each color. You also may, if you have too large of a yarn box to remember, use a handheld label-maker to mark where in the box each type of yarn is placed to avoid confusion. The rest is up to you with regards to decoration, organization and style of your yarn box!

Building a Survival Kit

Typically in Midwest states like Ohio, we think of building a survival kit to have during warmer weather months because of the threat of tornadoes and floods. We tend to forget that it is also important to have in the winter when blizzards or ice storms can wreak havoc. Power can be knocked out for days, and travel can be treacherous. This year has been a quite mild winter, but weather can change quickly, so it is still important to be prepared. 38 Quart Heavy Duty Storage Container First, have a container or two that is easily carried to put your supplies in. A plastic storage tote like the one pictured here is the perfect type to use. It has secure latches to keep the container closed and mostly air and watertight. Also, be sure to s tore loose items in airtight plastic bags for extra protection. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a downloadable list of what to put into your survival kit.

Get that Garage Clean!

Garages are a place to park your car...or they are a place to dump your junk. There is usually very little middle ground. What a garage should be is useful! So how do you get to be the place that you want it to be? Organization, of course! It can be a scary word, but it does not have to be! Getting your garage in order is something that will pay dividends in the the warmer weather months because everything will be easily accessible for your outside work! So let's get started! 1. Tools Do you have a toolbox? That sounds like a silly question, but it is a thing many people do not have. If you are a homeowner (or even a renter), it's time to have a stocked toolbox. You don't have to have tons of tools, but having a set of regular screwdrivers, a few wrenches, a hammer, and a set of hex tools (yes, those are handy to have!) and you will be set. Keep them in your toolbox. You don't have to have one of those giant toolboxes that roll around, but one that you can easily mov
