"D" is for Don't forget your keys!

Let's see, purse, check, phone, check, keys...WTF!  Where are my keys!  My husband makes fun of me all the time because I lose my keys.  They are usually at the bottom of my purse underneath everything or I walk past them sitting on a table and don't even notice.  I cannot be the only one this happens too!  Solution buy a hook at the Goodwill for .25 and paint it with my initial so that my keys have a place to 'hang out' everyday.  OK, in theory this is good, now to test it an see if it works.  You all know how it is.  It's like trying to be organized but things still end up cluttered about and messy.  BTW, I have two updates, one, the post about a week ago, the fall felt decoration, was inspired by Better Homes and Garden Holiday Craft magazine.  The second is that tonight is my class reunion, so I will update you on the success (hopefully) of my games. Have a great Saturday!

I sew too!

I have a favorite gift to give my friends and family that are expecting. Teddy Bears! I found this pattern a long time ago in a magazine, I think it was Better Homes and Garden, probably a special holiday decor issue, but anyways, since finding it, have made probably 40 bears. The pattern was printed in three sizes, I usually make the medium and large ones. It is just nice to give something that the child can grow up with and love. This one is made out of 2 different fabrics. I never sew on eyes because of little one playing with it. You don't want any choking accidents on buttons. They are soft and cuddly and can be customized for the nursery decor. Every kid needs a Teddy bear to snuggle with!
