  • Just bought this Dirt Devil Extreme Power Stick vacuum and I love it.

    I wanted to get something small because the only thing we have to vacuum is our living room rug.  The Dirt Devil is lightweight, operates on a rechargeable battery (so no cord to get in the way), and is surprisingly powerful for something this size.  The handle also folds down so it takes up very little space.  It’s a great little vacuum if you don’t need to do much vacuuming, or just to have in addition to your standard big vaccum to clean up quick little messes.

  • Washed our sheets today so I needed a brush up tutorial on folding fitted sheets…


    How To Fold a Fitted Sheet  (via Martha Stewart)


    1
     
    There is a foolproof technique for folding a fitted sheet. These instructions are for a right-handed person; just reverse them if you’re left-handed.
     
    1. Stand holding the sheet by the two adjacent corners of one of the shorter edges (see photo, left). With the sheet inside out, place one hand in each of these two corners. 
     
    2 3 4         
     
    2. Bring your right hand to your left, and fold the corner in your right hand over the one in your left, enveloping it. Next, reach down and pick up the corner that is hanging in front; bring it up, and fold it over the two corners in your left hand; the corner that’s showing will be inside out.
     
    3. Bring the last corner up, and fold it over the others; with its right side showing, it should envelop the other three corners.
     
    4. Lay the folded sheet on a flat surface, and straighten it into the shape shown.

    5. Fold the two edges in so all the elastic is hidden.
     
    6. Fold the sheet into a rectangle.
     
    7. Continue folding until the rectangle is the size you want it to be.

  • Have loads to blog about but have been quite busy.  We finally finished installing our elfa shelving, so the organizing must now commence.  One of my top priorities will be hiding our gazillion computer cords via this method on Lifehacker.  I happen to have a nifty little printer shelf just like in this setup.

  • It’s already been 3 months since Mr. Bee and I moved into our new apartment, but we really haven’t done that much with it yet.  Every weekend I plan on buying, designing, organizing - Cleanfest 2006 I call it.  But invariably we either end up working, or we’re so tired/burned out from working that we don’t have the energy to do anything with the apartment.  In fact I’m working right now when I had planned on organizing my bookshelves.


    I wish the guys from Queer Eye or Clean House could just come and make our place fabulous in a day.
