3 of my sisters and I are headed

to Columbus Ohio to the 

Country Living Fair.

Hoping for a beautiful day

with the sun shining and a

cool breeze.

Who knows maybe I will see

you there.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

 I had this Boring  mirror to use as a full length

Mirror in the hall way.

 I was on the search for a more unique,

something with more character, not boring 

mirror. This is what I found.

  It has some neat details which I like.

luv the patina on it too.

and the refection of the bedroom.

from boring

to this.

And I can still use it as a full length mirror.

Extra large bag

I had 3 pair of old blue jeans laying 

around and this flowered piece of fabric in my 

stash of fabrics.Want to see what I did with them?

My niece gave me this pattern to use.

McCall's M6297

This bag is 15" W and 13" L (excluding handles)

with inside pockets.

and outside pockets.

I took the jeans pockets of the old blue jeans and sewed

 1 onto the front and 1 on the back of the outside for added

compartments. I also added the Levi's label

at the top. ( didn't want anything left unused.)

plenty of room for everything.

Grocery bags

Do you ever get tried of the pile of plastic bags?

 I know I do. But I like to have some around

to use for this and that.

Well I found a clever way to down size my pile

and store them.

take your bag and flatten it out

next fold it in half

then in half again

now start at the bottom and fold up the corner

like a triangle

keep folding till you get to the top

now tuck the handle into the opening part of the triangle

see how easy that was.

now my pile looks like this

so much easier to store. and so much neater.

from this

 to this

so quick and easy 

every time you come home from the market

fold them up and store them. 

love and blessings
