I'm not sure what you mean. Did you spray the sink or the faucet? I haven't had any issues with anything sticking to the surface...

First off: I'm a huge liar, I know. I haven't been updating like I said I would. But honestly, I'm actually doing stuff. I have been completely de-cluttering my life, which is a work in progress, but I will certainly share my secrets to how I am finally doing what I've wanted to do for YEARS ...

DIY Play Kitchen Set for Kids! {Hack}
My kids have been begging for a cooking set since my 3 year old niece got an awesome one for Christmas. Upon seeing it, Woobie said aloud, "Um... I think Santa brought this to the wrong house. I think this is supposed to be for me." He did get a food set, but it just wasn't the same without...
I'm so glad you like it, Sarah! Feel free to share your photos!!!

I'm not dead.
Ok so it's been FOREVER since I've been over here, but I feel like I owe you all an explanation. Most of you will get it. Those who don't probably didn't get me in the first place and so didn't care that I fell off the face of the planet for months. So here's an update that covers everything:...

Chalkboard Paint Food Storage Jars
Although having three children has forced me to ease up a bit, I have OCD at heart. How do I know this? When the IKEA catalog gets delivered I have to stop what I'm doing and flip through it- cover to cover. I drool over organizational products. I've always wanted to have one of those pantri...

Craft Organization {A Sneak Peek!}
I've been working diligently trying to finish up my studio. For some reason I've been agonizing (literally) over the entire project - layout, storage, decor, etc. I've made LOTS of progress this week and I hope to pull it all together on my weekend (M-T-W) Here are a few sneak peeks ;) Th...

More K-Cup Crafts!
Being that I am (still) addicted to coffee, the K-cups keep coming. Today I was in the mood for a somewhat mindless instant gratification kind of craft (as opposed to dress making and such) so I pulled out my old K-Cups and created 3 new ideas! Read on to see them... Note: if you haven't r...
Hi Cynthia! I'm sure satin ribbon would work just fine. It will definitely change the look of it, but I'm sure it would be fabulous! I know lots of people starch their ribbon sculptures, but I don't. That's one of the benefits of using grosgrain, it holds up pretty well. If you go with the satin ribbon be POSITIVE to heat seal all the edges! You can use a lighter or a wood burning tool. I hope that helps :) Thanks for visiting!!!

These are so much easier to make than they appear! Read on for the full tutorial! Cinderella Note: To keep things quick and simple I will be referring to the ribbon widths as "super skinny," "thin," and "wide." I feel like you know what I mean instantly when I say that, as opposed to...
Just realized I didn't answer the question all the way- our eggs seem to stay fresh (pass the sink test) for almost 2 weeks!

Yep! We have backyard chickens, so I know on any given day how old each egg is. With backyard chickens I don't have to worry about salmonella and other creepy bacteria so I can leave my eggs at room temp until I eat them. I don't wash them until just before I'm going to use them, since an egg is laid with a "bloom" or seal around it. A neat trick to making sure your eggs are always fresh is by testing them in a bowl or pan of water. They should absolutely sink! If the "pointier" end floats up its ok, but use it quickly! If it floats or the bottom end floats up, it's junk. Hope this helps!

That's ok! Most people, myself included, have areas in their house that serve more than one purpose. The idea is to junk what is unnecessary and organize whatever needs to stay to make the space more funtional for you. I know you can do it! You are a super creative thinker and I know you'll come up with awesome ideas to organize it! Let me know if you need some ideas on something specific :)

Maggie, I'm not sure if you're local to Massachusetts, but my mom got them at The Christmas Tree Shop for $1.99 each. I don't remember why she bought them, but we used them to bring sand toys to the beach and since they were sitting around the house I decided to steal them for this job :D
Ps- Thanks for the "like" on Facebook!!!
