Where Unique, Chic and Organized Meet
Image by pierre pouliquin via Flickr Today is a bittersweet day for me, and I'm sad. My oldest, J, has his last day of Kindergarten. I just dropped him off for the 1st day and we are at the last day. I really don't know how I got here. It all goes so fast. I'm going to undertake the project of going through my big box of papers that came home with him every week, and do some major … [Read more...]
Who first told you that it’s not nice to stare? Write about a time you stared when you maybe shouldn’t have, or a time when someone stared at you. Please excuse the lack of organizational writing today. It had to be done. I was reading Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop today and the subject touched me so much I began to cry instantly. I admit I didn't read her story thouroughly because I … [Read more...]
Enjoy these projects: Car Caddy Tutorials by Karen of Sew Many Things is a great idea for making a simple drink holder in your car hold more then just a drink. The original idea came from her Tool Time Tuesday in April of 2009. I keep thinking that it would be great for the backseat for the kids to put their stuff in. Ashley of Give Me The Simple Life posted a great bag/coat rack in Bags … [Read more...]
Image by average_jane_crafter via Flickr As I've been posting for the past week you know that I have been hand embroidering like a mad woman. I've stayed up late etc., just to get these teacher's gifts done by Friday. Last night I got so fed up with embroidery floss everywhere I got out ziploc bags and separated by color. Then I thought where will I put these bags? I put them in a big … [Read more...]
I am a huge home fragrance fan. I love to light candles and burn natural oils in my house. However, since having kids I've come to do it less and less because I'm so afraid of the fire hazard. I try to keep things really high up but then of course that still scares me. Just last week my younger brother was telling me about the building right next door to him had a fire. I asked how it … [Read more...]
Last night I was going to write a post, and then forgot. Why? Because I had to do some hand embroidery on the bags I bought for J's teachers as teacher gifts for the end of the year. I got super ambitious when I decided to start this project. On a side note: this is my MO. I think of fantastic projects I have no time for, and no business doing. Luckily this time around I enlisted my … [Read more...]

For the last five years I have been bringing my own bags to the store. I have tried a ton of them, some are great, some are alright. I was recently asked which one was my favorite and I had to say after the road I've been on maybe everyone has bags for different needs like I do. Envirosax are a bag that rolls up and have a strap that snaps around it. They are great for when you want to … [Read more...]
Last night I was reading all of the blogs I subscribe to. I consider my blog subscriptions my after bed time (for the kids) reading. I came across an absolutely BRILLIANT idea from Paper n Stitch The Blog. It's called the Double Duty Dry Erase Board. Seeing this Tutorial was one of those moments I could not help saying to myself "Shut the Front Door." For all of you sewers out there think … [Read more...]
