What's a Tortilla Warmer?

Sometime ago, I saw an advertisement for tortilla warmers and loved the idea. They looked fun and useful but the cost was $8.00 - $12.00 each, depending on the size, plus shipping. "What a great way to use up scraps!" I thought. So, I tore out the ad and saved it. I came across it the other...

Keeping It Simple - Oh So Popular - Embroidered Photo Blocks

Newborn photo shoots are fun. But what do you do with all those pictures? Here is an idea that is sure to be a hit. At least it has been with my daughter and her friends. Make several using all the letters of the new baby's name for a great nursery decoration. They could stack vertically or sit horizontally...

Keeping It Simple - Whoever's coming to visit they need a pocket pillow!

With Christmas right around the corner the first thing that comes to mind is Santa Clause of course. We are all deep into our holiday projects and hopefully loving every minute of it.

Keeping It Simple - Tags All in the Hoop

I went to have lunch with my granddaughter this week. It was fun but one thing that amazed me was how many lunch boxes looked just alike. And they were all jumbled together in huge tubs so it took the kids some time to find the one that belonged to them. So, this week we made In-the-hoop tags. Here is...

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). We kept them at our house on Saturday nights and...

Keeping It Simple - Embroidered Boxes for Trinkets and Gift Cards

We will soon be able to pick the first zucchini and I think there will be lots more coming on! I have cucumbers that will be ready to pick in a...

Keeping It Simple - Valentine Candy Bar Wrappers

Our daughter's car broke down in the snow this week. Michael was not available so she called me to come and help her. What I know about cars you can fit in a thimble! So, what was I thinking when I opened the hood and stared into the engine? Who knows- brain freeze I guess! But there we were, standing...

Keeping It Simple - Crayon Chalk Tote

I have been dog sitting a five month old puppy for the last 2 weeks. Sage is pretty good, but she is definitely all puppy. And Big! Ok, I admit I am used to small dogs - Papillons, which are usually 7-10 pounds. So, when this pretty Brittany Spaniel jumped in my lap right behind the little Cosmo early...

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 double wrapped like cookies, muffins and breads...

Keeping It Simple - Buttons and Bows

Being the "Meesy" to two beautiful granddaughters I am always on the lookout for cute things that I can make for them or with them. They are very girly girls and love fancy ribbons, barrettes and bows. Last weekend I went on a getaway with a friend and we browsed through shops in every little...
