I ran out of baskets.  Can you believe it?  There are a couple currently in use for the Great Toy Cleanup '09, so I'll have them back soon.  In the meantime, I bought a real pretty one at T.J. Maxx ($5, you guys) for my knitting.  It has a lid, too, so certain little alpaca-crazed creatures can't get into it.


My cabinets are still getting a makeover.  The pantry is far from done, but I need some more baskets before I can declare it officially organized.  Here are some before & after shots:


I need a better solution for the spices, but I think this temporary fix will do.  There were many-a-curse-word coming from my lips whenever I had to find something and I was knocking down all the jars in my hunting.  The little shelf helps tremendously.  When I figure out the best way to organize a really deep pantry, I'll let you know.  I'm also open to suggestions...especially if they involve BASKETS.
