Holiday Napkins So – a good sized napkin measures around 20×20. I get 4 napkins out of one meter (if it measures 45 inches wide). Be sure you’ve washed your fabric first! Set your serger…

    Project: Reversible Bag

    Project Reversible Bag I did it again! I made some reversible bags!! For the first tutorial, check it out here. Last week, or maybe the week before that, I was at ikea picking up pillows for my pillow cover project and I always swing by the fabric section. They had this awesome striped fabric for 6$. Score. A little side note about my trip at ikea. So, I’m waiting in line to get my fabric cut – and the teenage boy who finally found himself…

    Garage Sale Juicer

    Grage Sale Juicer Last weekend the end of our road had a garage sale sign on it. Why not swing by? Usually we keep an extra 5 or 10 dollar bill in the glove box for an emergency – a garage sale is an emergency, right? I think so. 2$ for a juicer?!! Really. Yes! It’s a bit beat up and the owner can’t recall if it works; but, for 2$ – less than a cup of coffee, I’ll take the risk! Plus, look how…

    DIY: Patio Table

    DIY Patio Table Summer starts tomorrow and what we needed was a patio table! Last year we purchased 4 chairs from Home Depot but we didn’t like any of their tables, nor any tables anywhere for that matter. Our plan, we’ll build one ourself! The small problem…time. Where does all the time go? In need of a quick fix, I remembered that we had this ugly folding table in the basement – the pervious owner had left it (and after looking at it, you can…
