such yummy stuff. there is a knit-along pattern for a turkey this month. i can't wait to start on that.

before school organization tips.

this segment on studio 5 was really helpful. i am going to incorporate organizing the needed school items, the night before with these labeled baskets.



i know the baby isn't in school, but she has plenty of stuff that needs to be organized and put away.

i'm back.

here is a cute idea for your special student going back to school. taken from pioneer party and gift. i just used scrapbook rub-ons letters, a bit of scrap paper and voila!

project next.

luckily i already have the paint. i think i will try to find some old enamel ware. my kitchen needs a little somethin'.

i almost, almost bought this today....

string theory quilt by denyse schmidt.

i would like to replicate some of denyse's work. she has a great book that i should get.


the sundance catalog outlet is a bad place to go (for me).

exactly what i want.

cjane is doing a product blog. i lurve it!

do this now: notepad.

sometimes it is just that extra touch to make your life not feel so mundane. i ripped off this idea from becky higgins' blog. so easy and a great way to get rid of all those pesky scraps of paper in your life.



first cut a piece of patterned paper 5 inches (or whatever width your notepad is) by 2 inches.



my notepad is slightly used.




glue the heck out of your paper, especially around the edges. i use herma dotto dots permanent adhesive. but a good glue stick would probably work just as well.

attach. embellish as you want. and voila!



isn't that better? the green just wasn't helping the chaos.

now if you have a half an hour go make a bunch for your friends. they will think you are so cool.
