Getting organised

So the little one is growing, flipping and grabbing things off my table when we change his diapers.

We used to lay his changing kit on a very ugly sheet of plastic to protect my cutting mat. 6 months has passed and the sheet is covered with powder and dust - an issue when Colin grabs and sucks his fingers later.

So I thought about our little issue after disposing the plastic sheet.

Place the kit on my cutting mat?

No way! My mat is too precious to risk being stained.

Remembered an unused Ikea drawer organiser which I don't think is washable. That means I will have problems removing the powder dust.

No go too. Too much trouble maintaining it.

But! I have fabric scraps! Measure cut measure cut, tadah! The end result.

A cover! Perfect solution! Can remove the cover for washing.

The side view. :)

A happy mom now!

Flyer Holder

Our letterbox is locked to prevent people from distributing pamphlets. In fact, most Singaporeans do that. So the advertising companies hired people to distribute pamphlets from door to door, daily. This is how it usually looks like:

 

It irritates us cause it usually drops onto the floor. When this happens, we pray that we will get to it before the rain, else we have to clear the mess!

To solve our problems, I made this Flyer Holder for the distributors to slot in the pamphlets. It's easier for us to clear too!

This is how it looks like on our gate. =)

 

Slot it in this way..

 

Or fold it into half ... whichever you prefer..

Happier husband, happier me!
