  Fabulous Reader Tip

A Great Idea for Using Fabric Scraps



Use a recycled plastic bag (mine has a zipper and it is from the purchase of a curtain valance) to store small fabric pieces near your sewing machine. My bag fits in the top drawer of my machine cabinet. I stitch a few inches on one of these scraps every time I change threads on the sewing machine. That way, I know it will stitch correctly on my project.

Husband Wants to Be More Involved in Home Organization





A GON Reader Asks

My husband has retired and I would like him to be more involved in our home organization. Any suggestions?

--Yvette Fluehr

Maria Gracia Responds

Hi Yvette,

Absolutely! Here are 4 suggestions that immediately come to mind:

1) Come up with a list of organizing projects together. This can be a fun activity both of you can come up with over coffee and can include simple organizing projects, like organizing the junk drawer to more involved jobs, like organizing the basement or a photo collection.

2) Both of you pick one of those projects. You pick a project to be in charge of...and your husband picks another. In doing so, each person has the final say over how a project will be tackled, giving that person a sense of ownership. You both can work on your own projects simultaneously, or you can run 'project 1' this month...and your husband can run 'project 2' next month. This helps if you'll each be helping each other out with your respective projects.

3) Come up with mini goals and deadlines for each project. Whoever is the leader of the project gets to come up with mini goals and deadlines so the project is always 'in process.' These should be in list form and either written or typed up and placed in a visible area, like the fridge or family bulletin board.

4) Celebrations are a must. As each project is completed, it's important to celebrate those accomplishments. Sometimes those celebrations may be individual, and other times they can be enjoyed as a couple.

Hope this helps!

--Maria

When you get GON GLOW, you'll receive...
