My cousin Kat of Our Adventures in Japan told me that Deb in Hawaii of Kahakai Kitchen is having a giveaway! She is giving away Betty Crocker's new gluten free dessert mixes. I have yet to see them in the stores here on Oahu. What a great giveaway! Thanks, Kat.Later, I discovered that Linda of The Gluten-Free Homemaker is also giving away the same thing, so...go and enter these giveaways and good luck!
Quilting on a Budget is having an OttLite giveaway! I tried to post this yesterday, but apparently I did something wrong and it didn't work...so...I'm trying this again. I have been looking for a floor lamp for my dimly lit sewing area since, I don't remember how long. Anyway it's been a while. It would be nice to
see the colors of the fabrics better.
I have been working on some bags of scraps I picked up from school. There was so much that our scrap bin was overflowing. I am still in the process of washing them and bagging them. I'm putting them into gallon sized ziplock bags until I use them.
Jane4girls is havin
g a giveaway! She is giving away a set of reusable snack bags or bulk food bags to one lucky reader here. Check out her blog. She is great a stretching her dollars for things. I followed her link to the Plum Creek Mercantile company website and wondered if I could make my own bags. Hmmm...something to think about.
Anyway, pictured here is an old bath towel that I recycled into two 
hand towels. Many of our towels are getting threadbare and instead of tossing the good bath towel, I decided to see if I could give it another purpose, besides being a rag. I cut off the raggedy ends, then cut the towel in half and zigzagged the raw edges. Now, we have two towels that are just like new! I just have to figure out what to do with the ends of the towels that I cut off. Any suggestions?
Since the cost of living is so high here, I am always looking for ways to save some money, even if it is just a few cents.
As I was looking at blogs for inspiration of what to sew next, I came across a blog called Jane4girls. She is having a giveaway. She is giving away grocery bags and mesh bags, from a company called hotSACKS. Head on over to her blog and check it out. Her blog also gives tips on how to save money with links to coupons.
Pictured here is a quilt I saw at a quilt show. The flower petals were raised and puffy, kinda like a 3D type of thing.I think a few of my sewing goals will be to finish two or more of my ufos and to use more of my stash...it's been growing...happy sewing!
I entered a giveaway on Sew Mama Sew and won a rotary cutter. Yay! I didn't expect to win anything, so it was so nice to win something.
. Next, I chopped garlic , stir-fried the garlic and the leaves. It was so good. The family loves it! We will be eating this weekly. Yum!

I just got done going through the long list of giveaways at Sew Mama Sew. It took me two days. By the time I got to some of them they were closed and had already picked winners. Oh well, maybe next time.
ebating whether to make another smaller one or even make more to be used for Christmas or maybe I'd better make something a little simpler.
