Clever Ideas

Since I am sitting here melting in the 111* heat ... with just a small fan on me.... I thought I would post a few fun ideas...It's not so hot if I am just vegging out in a chair ;)

 I always get a smile when I see little children's chalk drawing on the sidewalks... Here is a fun tutorial on how to make your own chalks that spray out of a bottle ;)

 Such bright vivid colors just what us kids like to see and play with ;)

One can always use fun ideas to keep our little ones busy while traveling in the car.. this is a fantastic idea.

I made very cute sewing repair kits one year for Christmas that I gave my friends, that were made out of potholders. I had scissors, needle threader, threads, needles and thimble in mine.. they were a real hit with my friends.

 I don't drink Coffee.. but I do have a coffee pot for visitors that drink coffee... I have one of those metal reusable filters for mine.. but this looks so much better.. 

When it gets old and yucky just throw it away and make a new one!!

Easy Peasy!!

 I am forever and always getting all my bobbin threads tangled up.. I keep them in a fun fancy rope bowl that was given to me as a Pressie from one of my followers.. but this my dear ones .. looks likes the answer to all my woes!!
