• An Oldie but Goodie - Bag Keepers Never Go Out of Style

  As you probably know by now we have been slowly trying to go green. So we use cloth bags (see designer bags )for most of our shopping. Even so, we still end up with some of those thin plastic bags from various places. They have some uses such as lining...

• I know They're in Here Somewhere!

  Have you seen the big purses, or should I say suitcases, that are in style this year? They certainly hold a lot of stuff but I continually see women trying to climb inside them to find their key rings. Watching them always made me smile until the other...

• Easter Goodies for Infants

  "What will the Easter bunny bring for the baby?" our grandaughter asked. Now, this is the same little girl who recently wrote a letter to the famous bunny asking if he was really a man dressed up in a costume. But, real or not, she wants to...

• Keeping It Simple - Quick Wristlet Just In Time for Spring

  Wristlets are great if you have lots of other stuff to haul around (like kids and diaper bags and laptops...) and don't want the extra weight of a purse. But after a hard winter the ones we have been using look pretty bad so I decided to surprise...

• Keeping it Simple - Easy Tutu skirts and Black Cats

  Our family has been invited to several Halloween gatherings this year. The first is this weekend - a whole week before the 31st! This is Friday and the girls costumes are not quite finished. But the girls are very excited about dressing up for these events...

• Keeping It Simple - The Big Tote It

  You can never have too many bags. We use bags for everything from storing tiny toys to carrying our groceries in "green" bags. But last week my daughter decided she needed a huge bag. She teaches science two days a week at a local Christian...

• Keeping It Simple - Sewing for Sunday

  It has been a busy couple of weeks. Our youngest has a baby girl now overdue. But for several weeks she was put on bed rest - mostly due to extreme swelling. So the rest of the family shared taking care of the other two (five years and two years old)...

• Keeping It Simple - Water Bottle Carriers From Recycled Jeans

  We have been out and about the last week or so with the grandkids in tow. They love the park, walks by the lake and riding bikes around the neighborhood. The weather has been great here (quite unusually so for March). Of course we have to take along snacks...

• Keeping It Simple - Going Green with Fabric Easter Baskets

  Most of you know that one of my goals in 2009 was to use up as much of my fabric stash as possible and not purchase any new fabrics. Well, I did make a dent in those stacks of cotton but I am still working on using it up. And since another goal is to...

• Keeping It Simple – Reusable Snack Bags

  By now everyone knows that at our house we have been slowly going green. It not only helps the environment but our budget as well. We have been using a lot of plastic bags! So, we began by washing and reusing the freezer bags that held things that were...

• Flag Day Celebration

  Did you know that Flag Day is this Sunday? It is nice to take a moment and remember how grateful we are for our Country’s Flag and what it stands for. Even when I was a little girl I loved to watch those colors flying in the wind and I can remember...

• Designer Grocery Bags - Who'd have thought!

  For some time at our house we have been somewhat involved in recycling stuff. A while back I actually got into the habit of bringing my reusable bags shopping. But these totes that I have collected over the years (mostly at quilt and sewing shows) are...
