I am sick of the "where are your mittens?!" question I keep asking, and it's only January (cry? yes). The best part is that day in and day out I find myself shocked and surprised by a) the lack of matching mittens and b) the amount of freaking dog hair on the ones we do find. There is nothing more "supermom" than picking clumps of pet hair off your kid in the school line up.
So I created a solution! I mod-podged scrapbook paper onto a piece of scrap trim and hot glued clothespins (also mod podged in a kicky coordinating print!) to that trim.
It lasted about 2 days. Then my

It's a regular shoe organizer. It comes with hooks to hang it over you door, and you can hang it up as is, or personalize it as I have done. I just hand embroidered some cute simple images, such as our initials (to designate a row or two per person).
That's it! Mitten organization conquered! In theory anyhow.
Party for organizing - my kind of place!

You SO make me laugh! Love the personalization on the shoe/mitten hanger ... I have this ongoing battle with socks, even though I am the only one around here who does the laundry!
So... I was reading, and I was all, "Embroidered?! Has she lost her ever loving mind?!" I was relieved to read that you did not. I was ><this close to putting you in the person-who-irons-her-sheets category. :)
Kristin, I think my husband sorts the wash by color and left and right foot. But, hey - he does the wash! Right?
Chickie - can you imagine? Ha ha! Ha!
We used to use a shoe organizer for our mittens, but then our flip flops took over. There is a big pocket at the bottom of ours that holds the girls' mittens. Thanks for linking up at A Home Made by Kiki!
Hey thanks for stopping by :)
(and I just realized your button wasn't published! eeps! sorry about that)
I love over the door shoe organizers. I love how you decorated it. I'm hosting We're Organized Wednesday through Saturday and would love for you to join the party.
