While shopping, purchase extra grains. Whether it be wheat, rye, triticale, bran, corn, barley, cracked wheat or millet. If you like to grind grain, and you do not own a hand grinder, take the steps to purchase one. Whether you can purchase one outright, or if you have to start putting money aside to save up for one.

Food Storage

This week is not a focus on food, but on assembling an emergency sewing kit.

Gather thread, pins, needles, buttons, snaps, zippers, tape measure, etc..

Here is a list you can download, print off, and use for reference this week while preparing your kit.

Sewing Kit

You could assemble the kit, then store them in a lovely bag that The Lazy Organizer sells. I haven't purchased nor used any of her bags yet, but they get great reviews, and I am always one click from buying them. It's too bad I don't like to spend money, because I love to organize, and these look like the perfect solution to some of my organizing problems.
