We received a gourmet gift basket for the holidays this year. It included fancy cheese, salami, fruit, chocolates and wine, but the thing that I liked most was the mini cutting board. I use it in the craft room for small projects like hammering snaps and rivets and cutting with an Exacto knife.

T-Shirt Wipey

I thought of making wipeys out of my husband's old t-shirts because my iPod touch always looked like a CSI's dream come true with fingerprints galore. Who knew my fingertips were so greasy?!?!?!

These logo t-shirts that were past their prime, but still had sentimental value. Now every time I clean my screen I think of the day I met my husband at MacWorld distributing this t-shirt!

T-shirt Hoodies

My son's favorite shirt is a hoodie with a pass through pocket in the front that I'd found on a discount rack over a year ago. Of course, I haven't been able to find another one like it anywhere.

So, I made a template out of the fav shirt and took three of my husband's old t-shirts to make a hoodie.

I made another out of an old sweatshirt using some extra t-shirt material to make the hood.

Trip to the snow, before you go...

...take a pair of these True blue household gloves with you:

These gloves will keep your hands warm and dry while playing in the snow for hours. I was able to make this toddler sized snowman and still feel my fingers. I also brought my gardening knee pads. I wasn't pretty, but I was warm and comfy.
