Cohen's Christmas Present

My mom is so creative.

I have a lot to learn from her.

The unopened present.

(A wrapped up paper towel roll.)

Complete with a pull-tab.

Whaa-laa!

I'm totally stealing her idea.

Pillow Cases

I've been working on these throw-pillow cases for several months.

Today I finished the last one!

I love this fabric! Mark brought it home from work.

They were just going to get rid of it!!

This case is made from the top layer of an old skirt which I put over a muslin backing.

I took this leftover brown fabric and sewed different stitches all over it to give it some life.

On all of the cases, I overlapped fabric in the back so I wouldn't have to attempt to sew on zippers.

Ta da!

I'm really happy with the way they turned out!!

I totally forgot...

about this website! www.exercisetv.tv It has tons of free workouts. I did a cardio workout today and had so much fun!

Splenda

I hate it when stuff like this happens.

Thank goodness for the invention of the Dustbuster!

Oops!

I forgot to freeze the family pack of ground beef I bought on Tuesday. This has happened to me before. Last time Mark and I cooked meatloaf and stroganoff in an hour. Today I cooked chili for dinner tonight, meat sauce for pasta, taco meat, and a plain meat to add to a recipe. Phew! You should have seen my sink!!!

Thanks Martha!!

We got the holiday box out of storage today. I was a little disappointed at my lack of Halloween decorations. Then I got even more disappointed when I remembered that we are seriously saving money right now (instead of pretending to save money) and I don't have a budget for new home decor. So, I got on MarthaStewart.com and found some goodies.
