Sewing Machine


My children Steven & Rebekah, Erin& Jeremy and David, bought me a sewing machine for Christmas. I have been wanting one for a long time so that I could make quilts. I have made baby quilts by hand before and it takes a long time but they turned out great. I will be Lord willing makng quilts to sell. It's a Singer and it has settings for quilting. I am already starting one cutting out material that I have had from other quiltings. I will post a picture of it if it turns out.

Uses For Dryer Sheets/From Frugal Living


Uses for Dryer Sheets
If you are going for a frugal or greener drying experience and are using dryer balls, laundry softener or a dry towel to help with your drying needs in the machine. You may find that you now have an abundance of dryer sheets that you don’t know what to do with.
I have found (and tried) a few ideas that may help you use them up without throwing them out.
Dryer sheets have a similar absorbing power as newspapers when it comes to odors, so you can clean and deodorize among other things:
▌Push them into your sweaty, smelly shoes and let them sit overnight to reduce the offending odor
▌Lay them out in dresser drawers to replace an old sachet and make clothing smell nice
▌Place a few in suitcases or gym bags before you re-use them again
▌Place them in between books when storing to reduce the musty smell
▌Wipe the surface of your electronics to remove static and dust
▌Loosen baked on grime when you drop one in the sink water with the pan
▌Pick up small particles that are hard to sweep, like glass, hair and sawdust
▌Dusting your blinds gets easy when you wipe them with a dryer sheet
▌Run a needle and thread between the dryer sheet to prevent tangles
▌Drop them at the bottom of your trash can before you put in a trash bag
▌Clean mineral deposits from shower doors after a shower
▌Use them as bug repellent (see also snopes list of items)
Also check out Bounceeverywhere.com for their ideas - mostly deodorizing and some cleaning.

Merry Christmas

I'm so excited that my kid's and grandchildren will be here for Christmas.
I have a lot to do to get prepared before next week, a lot of cooking and cleaning to be done.
We will be having Christmas dinner with my oldest son Steven, Rebekah and our 2 grandsons along with my daughter Erin and her boyfriend Jeremy and Rebekah's Parent's Pat and Dianne and maybe Rebekah's brother Patrick and his wife Rachael and their girls. I'm not sure who else will be coming. We will miss having David home for Christmas but he will be back home for good sme time in January :).
Well I better go so that I can make my list of what needs to be done before next week.
Hope everyone has a Blessed Christmas.
