Sunny days are here again! We moved our clocks forward which is a sure sign Spring is just around the corner. I found a stash of viable seeds when Spring Cleaning and I can't wait for the weather to warm up enough to put them in the ground.
That is the inspiration behind my featured pick from last week's Linky Party The Three Easiest Vegetables to Grow and Enjoy from Green Talk. Anna is a terrific gardener. I practically have her on speed dial when I have gardening questions but it sometimes feels like I kill more plants than I grow.
Let's Party!

Tiny Mall Micro Loft House Tour
Tiny houses are all the rage, so it should be no surprise that city dwellers can live cute and with a ridiculously small carbon footprint in tiny micro apartments – in a converted historic shopping mall!

You don’t have to be a shopaholic to live here. In fact, given that the average size of each tiny apartment is 220 square feet it is probably best if you aren’t.

Pin this tiny house tour and share it with your friends!

15 of the Best Scrap Fabric Projects
After spending an afternoon finding hidden fabric caches around the house (and wondering if I am turning into a ferret,) I organized the larger than I realized fabric stash into my super big DIY under bed fabric organizer
And oh my goooooooooooodness I learned I have a lot of scrap fabric! More than I thought. I figure I should celebrate National Craft Month by sewing some scrap fabric project to clear out my stashso I can buy more fabric.

How to Make a Sliding Under Bed Fabric Storage Box
Even though I am fairly strict about only buying fabric and craft supplies that I need for a specific project to keep me from being overrun with cute supplies I won’t use I still have a lot of leftover fabric stored in plastic storage tubs throughout the house.
Which makes it difficult to use in a stash bust project because I have fabric here, there, and everywhere - especially under the bed in my guest room/craft room. There is quite a bit of unused storage space under the guest bed but all of the storage options I found where laughably small for what I wanted to consolidate from around the house and store under the bed.
The only solution is to build an epic super fantastic awesome fabric solution for my craft room that holds ALL of my extra fabric, makes use of all of the empty space under the bed, slides underneath when not in use!
OK, I built a box.
An under the bed fabric storage box.
But it is a huge box that runs the width of the bed, slides out easily on the carpeting, and is a fantastic DIY pocket hole project for all of you who are intrigued but nervous about using a pocket hole jig.

Lisa didn't build a difficult earth shattering small space storage solution. She made a simple beginner pocket hole jig project - a storage box.
By the way, Lisa's fabric stash is really comfortable and she totally loves it when I cover it in dog hair.

Friday Favorites Linky Party 361
My master bathroom remodel hit a scheduling snag because we have to remove the floor down to the studs and replace it due to mold found around the base of our current toilet. I have a feeling (but no concrete confirmation) that micro leaks from the seal may be the cause.
Which is a fantastic reason to replace the toilet I hate with a toilet I have come to love for how easy it is to install AND its super sealing wax ring - the Delta Faucet Company Corrente toilet.
Yep, after installing the easiest toilet in the world in my powder room (you can read my Delta toilet review on Condo Blues here) we like it so much that I have two of those bad boys sitting in my garage waiting for our flooring guy to do his thing so I can do my thing with the rest of the remodel.
I showed you my project, now you share yours. Let's Party!
