Odds & Ends

 

 

I'm feeling all over the place these days; work is busy, daycare is busy, Christmas is only 39 days away (Yep, I said it.  Whatcha going to do about it?).  Here are some things floating around at the moment:

 

• It snowed a whole bunch.  The weather forecast is for rain this week, which means a lot of melting, messy slush.  For the moment, I'm going to ignore the thought of rain, and enjoy the fluffy white stuff.
• Feed Your Soul - an amazing art project with free downloads.  There is some fabulous work there.
• Spiced candied nuts.  They sound yummy.
• I needed a plan to get everything done this year for Christmas.  Organized Christmas has a Christmas Planner that saved the day for me.  There's nothing I like more than a useful list. 
• A bunch of free printables to tuck into kids' lunchboxes.  Or wherever.  I think it would be fun to stick these into rolled socks when I'm doing the laundry.
• I need a bag like this for holding our handkerchiefs.  Right now they're in a pile in the dining room, which is not ideal.  Do you think I can manage to sew in a zipper?  It seems scary to me.  

 

So - what's floating around in there for you right now?

go for it, try a zipper. I used to be scared to death of them, but I finally just went for it and found out how easy they were. If you have a zipper foot, they're a cinch.

Great links....ugh 39 days. I'll have to get busy to be done with everything in time ;) Good luck.

I'm sure you can manage a zipper (says me who never has tried it)

I need a list for Christmas for definite!

No, no, my fingers are in my ears and I am humming, I can't hear you.

Great links one of which reminded me that I haven't popped any notes into the lunches for ages, time to remedy that.

When am I going to get to the grocery store to finish Thanksgiving shopping - when there isn't anyone else there? When the heck am I ever going to finish my Miss BB project and am I really going to run out of yarn? Will TLP make it to the end of the term without getting sick? Should I vaccinate him against H1N1? You asked Charity! :-) And of course you can put in a zipper. And then post a tutorial for the rest of us!
