3650 Items or Clean in Sixteen

-


Another New Year, 
Another Resolution. 

This is the year I get organized. 

It has to be, 
it is now driving me crazy. 
I heard on TV this morning that the 
best way to keep your resolutions
is to make them public.
So, 
here goes. 

Ten items will be leaving my house every day for the year. 

That is unless...
3650 items leave before the end of the year. 

And the count begins. 

The afghan above? 
At least 10 skeins of yarn, 
now in Shelby's house. 



This yarn, 
leftovers from a bunch of other projects,
off to Mom and Dad's for Dad to make
hats for the homeless. 

At least another 10 items. 

So...20 down, 
3630 to go! 

Also, starting this bathroom project.   
There have to be at least 
30 items in there that can go.

I am going to try to get my basement under control. Maybe if you keep posting your progress, it will help to motivate me in my efforts! :) Good luck Cathy!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
