&lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;Crazy for Cuff Links!!!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;I just finished posting the first few sets of cufflinks!&amp;nbsp; I think they are so fun, and a great addition to the shop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;https://www.etsy.com/listing/117235820/banded-cuff-link-to-match-your-tie-in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I was at a dinner about 3 weeks ago and had someone ask if I could make cufflinks to match my ties.&amp;nbsp; I thought it was a brilliant idea and set to work to make them.&amp;nbsp; I am thrilled with the way they turned out.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I love the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/117238694/black-and-white-houndstooth-silver&quot;&gt;houndstooth with the silver band&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
But I think my favorite is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/117238396/black-elephant-banded-cuff-links&quot;&gt;black and white elephant print&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With my little buisness, I try to send a thank you card to each of my customers with their order.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve been picking up packages of cards from Michaels , but they really are not the greatest. I&#39;ve been getting a few orders, and I wanted something personalized and nice to send.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back when we lived in Northern Virginia, I tried making cards.&amp;nbsp; (I really did!)&amp;nbsp; I bought tons of stamps, colored pencils, markers and paper.&amp;nbsp; I even joined a little card making club.&amp;nbsp; I had fantastic friends who tried to teach me and help me.&amp;nbsp; I was a failure.&amp;nbsp; Card making just isn&#39;t my thing.&amp;nbsp; All of my cards (that weren&#39;t designed and/or heavily assisted by others) looked like a third grade boy had made them.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, my only option (other than having my third grade boy make them) was to check out Etsy.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I found a woman named Kristen who had these darling cards in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop/ByTheBookPaper?ref=top_trail&quot;&gt;her shop&lt;/a&gt; ByTheBookPaper.&amp;nbsp; www.bythebookpaper.etsy.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.211774675.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.211774675.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I thought I would check and see if she could make something cute for me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Lucky me, she did! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I sent her the basic info of what I wanted, and she found fantastic paper and made these darling cards...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.217945372.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.217945372.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.217945365.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.217945365.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.217945380.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.217945380.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;She has a&amp;nbsp; fairly new blog is &lt;a href=&quot;http://bythebookpaper.blogspot.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;bythebookpaper.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; (and it’s not just all paper!) and a Twitter is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/bythebookpaper&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.twitter.com/bythebookpaper&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;What types of items do you make? I currently make a variety of shapes  and styles of bookmarks, including really handy magnetic bookmarks, note  cards and thank you cards, gift tags, bookplates, and soon to be adding  refrigerator magnets!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.221024747.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.221024747.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How did you get started? &amp;nbsp; I was working with my oldest friend over the  past summer, helping her assemble wedding invitations that she designs.   I got to see how she put colors together and the process of doing  matted paper design, and it was a lot of fun.  Then around Thanksgiving,  there was a holiday issue of Good Housekeeping that featured handmade  crafts featured on Etsy.  I had been on the site before and thought, I  can do that!  So with some help from my friend (and a good rummaging  through her extra paper supplies) I got some samples made and listed  them!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.216534442.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.216534442.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&#39;s your favorite part?&amp;nbsp;  I really like putting the layers together  and trying to come up with the different color combinations.  It’s so  amazing to see it all come together and it just looks right, like those  colors were supposed to go together all along.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.208567669.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.208567669.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes your items unique?&amp;nbsp;  My bookmarks are different because of  their magnetic design.  They are really handy because they don’t fall  out of books.  Plus, I do a lot of different shapes, and that seems to  catch people’s eye, particularly the square ones.  I also think that  doing layers and mixing colors adds some dimension to what I make.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.216537930.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.216537930.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What inspires you? &amp;nbsp; I actually get inspired a lot from the paper itself,  particularly if I’m working with a print.  I try to look at it in  different ways to see what I can do with it- how can I turn it, cut it,  layer over it- to make it look special.  Once I get working on one idea,  then that often leads to another.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.221007322.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.221007322.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anything else you want to share? &amp;nbsp;  I really have a fun time with paper  and making things for people, and I can do a lot more than just what is  in the shop.  I have made bookmarks into graduation announcements, and I  can make them into table favors for weddings, showers, and parties.  I  think paper goods make for great gifts- particularly for teachers (which  I was at one point)- especially if it’s personalized just for them.

&lt;br /&gt;
Daffy&#39;s looked much better than mine, but we both agreed that we needed to keep working on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She began searching Etsy for a good pattern, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop/NeedleCraftPatterns?ga_search_query=needlecraftpatterns&amp;amp;ga_search_type=seller_usernames&quot;&gt;found a bunch of great ones&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;

She had made a couple and invited me over for a little girls night of crafting.&amp;nbsp; I chose to use some of my frog fabric that I had been saving for the perfect project.&amp;nbsp; This was it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I recently joined this online bulletin board called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pinterest.com/&quot;&gt;Pinterest&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; (Really great!)&amp;nbsp; While I was perusing the craft pages, I came across&lt;a href=&quot;http://pinterest.com/pin/3928579/&quot;&gt; this gorgeous skirt&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I looked at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://elleapparel.blogspot.com/2010/11/lace-for-days-skirt.html&quot;&gt;source location,&lt;/a&gt; and found that someone had written a blog about &lt;a href=&quot;http://elleapparel.blogspot.com/2010/11/lace-for-days-skirt.html&quot;&gt;how to make it&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I finally had my lace project! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I read the blog, and saw that the author cut her own pattern from an existing skirt.&amp;nbsp; I am not that brave.&amp;nbsp; Fortunately, I had a great pattern I picked up several years ago that had a good pencil skirt pattern that was easy to alter.&amp;nbsp; (I have NEVER been able to find a pattern that fits me properly.&amp;nbsp; My waist is always about 3 sizes larger than my hips, so everything has to be adjusted.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I began to cut out the main skirt, but realized I would be much happier if it was lined.&amp;nbsp; (White skirts are a little too revealing for my taste.)&amp;nbsp; Fortunately I had some spare muslin lying around.&amp;nbsp; I cut out my lining and started to put the skirt together.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I finished the skirt this morning, and decided it needed a fun button on the side.&amp;nbsp; I had the perfect one!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So if you have any unused lace lying around, give it a try!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mike looked into jobs all over the country, and found several great options.&amp;nbsp; Somehow through each of our conversations, we kept returning to one opportunity again and again.&amp;nbsp; So yesterday, he signed a contract to work in...&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, we are excited enough at this great opportunity to move to the Twin Cities and brave the infamous Northern Winters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are still in the process of working out the details, but by early July, we hope to be in our new home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, if any of you live near Minneapolis or St. Paul, and need a great eye doctor for your kids, Mike will be looking for patients!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://divinedomestication.blogspot.com/feeds/8134662718624821827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://divinedomestication.blogspot.com/2011/01/we-are-moving-to.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2543856258469257335/posts/default/8134662718624821827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2543856258469257335/posts/default/8134662718624821827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://divinedomestication.blogspot.com/2011/01/we-are-moving-to.html' title='We are moving to...'/><author><name>Divine Domestication</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10882444340933801892</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDVdWIi8UbDrOtrH5PdLrOX0Q02H4dDEPuGXlbc2RC3QkL7XwxdtAh07ZjEkyZYprlnrfyLNsbuGbz8reqxp3ZsWjDFe3t5dLNPDb-wpUUPyxacPpTd7hMFoOL2nAUbAs/s220/blue+striped+tie.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543856258469257335.post-4572674094946934632</id><published>2011-01-26T09:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-26T09:57:41.807-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bag ladies...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYOYCmbOOQyaglM3o70LzCF1LDIfta-S3EX_WmIRrRoxWjtY7f-uZJ7z6gKCLpRTtlPJ0HcOsWWWr1vSRJjC21MxxIjeau8BsQUdLopDLNbmM1XtCiCTdMEL-VIvJJ9qGA81fh40sD1nnf/s1600/Baseball+bag+-+Toys.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYOYCmbOOQyaglM3o70LzCF1LDIfta-S3EX_WmIRrRoxWjtY7f-uZJ7z6gKCLpRTtlPJ0HcOsWWWr1vSRJjC21MxxIjeau8BsQUdLopDLNbmM1XtCiCTdMEL-VIvJJ9qGA81fh40sD1nnf/s400/Baseball+bag+-+Toys.jpg&quot; width=&quot;382&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I have the most wonderful neighbor across the street.&amp;nbsp; (I&#39;ll call her Daffodil)&amp;nbsp; She and her husband moved in shortly after we did.&amp;nbsp; Our paths didn&#39;t cross for about a month or so.&amp;nbsp; (Probably because I didn&#39;t leave the house much because of my eye surgery, and when I did I couldn&#39;t see much.)&amp;nbsp; Anyway, in October, I noticed a really cute pumpkin quilt hanging on her front door.&amp;nbsp; She also noticed my witch door hanger.&amp;nbsp; We both had to ask if the other was a quilter.&amp;nbsp; Turns out we both are!&amp;nbsp; She instantly became my new best friend.&amp;nbsp; (quilters are a little odd like that.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daffodill is an amazing seamstress.&amp;nbsp; She makes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/65924809/silk-rainbow-leaves-quilted-wall-hanging&quot;&gt;georgous quilts&lt;/a&gt; and just recently started making these &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/66709193/elephant-backpack-bag&quot;&gt;adorable bags&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp; My boys loved them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My youngest loves to put all of his trucks or legos or trains or whatever he is playing with in zip lock baggies.&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t love it so much.&amp;nbsp; So, I decided to make some bags too!&amp;nbsp; #3 was thrilled.&amp;nbsp; He helped choose the fabric, and hasn&#39;t put the bag down since it was finished. &lt;br /&gt;

When #2 saw his little brother&#39;s bag, he wanted his own!&amp;nbsp; He wanted a bag to keep his Legos in.&amp;nbsp; He chose his own fabric, and helped choose colors for the label.&amp;nbsp; I thought it turned out pretty well, and so did he.&amp;nbsp; #2 even cleaned up all of the legos he had been playing with and put them in his bag!&amp;nbsp; Success!&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;m including instructions for those who might want to make their own.&amp;nbsp; For those who just want to buy one, I&#39;m selling them in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.divinedomestication.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;my etsy store&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Here is the link for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/66773945/baseball-print-toy-bag-for-kids?ref=pr_shop&quot;&gt;Toy Bag&lt;/a&gt; and for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/66774228/baseball-print-toy-bag-for-kids&quot;&gt;Customized Bag&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I hope to add some little girl bags soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bags are a pretty simple pattern.&amp;nbsp; I made mine 10&quot; x 15&quot; finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#39;s how to make your own bag:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All seam allowances are 5/8&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Cut 2 pieces of outside fabric 11&quot; x 18&quot;.&amp;nbsp; Cut 2 pieces of lining 11&quot; x 18&quot; (I used white muslin).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Sew bottom seam of outside fabric right sides together.&amp;nbsp; Do the same for the lining.&amp;nbsp; Press seams open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(if you want to personalize or decorate the bag - do it now!&amp;nbsp; It will be much more difficult later.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Sew one side of outside fabric together starting 3 1/2 &quot; from the top.&amp;nbsp; Do the same for the lining. (This will be where you put your string.)&amp;nbsp; Press seams open, and press the unsewn portion open at 5/8 &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. &amp;nbsp; Place the lining inside the outside fabric so right sides are together.&amp;nbsp; Carefully match seams and pin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Carefully pull bag out through the opening left between the lining and outer fabric.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Smooth lining into the outside fabric and press well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.&amp;nbsp; Stitch around opening flaps close to the edge of the fabric, making sure no raw edges are showing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fold the top edges over apx. 1&quot; down.&amp;nbsp; Press and pin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Sew the edge down near the bottom of the folded fabric.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10.&amp;nbsp; Thread ribbon through the folded fabric and tie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You are done and you have a great storage bag!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://divinedomestication.blogspot.com/feeds/4572674094946934632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://divinedomestication.blogspot.com/2011/01/bag-ladies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2543856258469257335/posts/default/4572674094946934632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2543856258469257335/posts/default/4572674094946934632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://divinedomestication.blogspot.com/2011/01/bag-ladies.html' title='Bag ladies...'/><author><name>Divine Domestication</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10882444340933801892</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDVdWIi8UbDrOtrH5PdLrOX0Q02H4dDEPuGXlbc2RC3QkL7XwxdtAh07ZjEkyZYprlnrfyLNsbuGbz8reqxp3ZsWjDFe3t5dLNPDb-wpUUPyxacPpTd7hMFoOL2nAUbAs/s220/blue+striped+tie.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYOYCmbOOQyaglM3o70LzCF1LDIfta-S3EX_WmIRrRoxWjtY7f-uZJ7z6gKCLpRTtlPJ0HcOsWWWr1vSRJjC21MxxIjeau8BsQUdLopDLNbmM1XtCiCTdMEL-VIvJJ9qGA81fh40sD1nnf/s72-c/Baseball+bag+-+Toys.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543856258469257335.post-8218877341812108519</id><published>2011-01-24T15:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-24T15:58:16.750-08:00</updated><title type='text'>One of the best treasuries I&#39;ve seen</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.204958472.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; src=&quot;http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.204958472.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;There are lots of treasuries on Etsy.&amp;nbsp; Anyone can make one.&amp;nbsp; Some of them are okay, but sometimes you find really great ones.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve always enjoyed the treasuries that apply to my life.&amp;nbsp; There don&#39;t seem to be too many.&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t have a little girl, I don&#39;t have a baby, I don&#39;t even own a home to decorate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today, a woman who owns &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop/DirtyDeedsSoaps&quot;&gt;Dirty Deeds Soap&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; made one of my very favorite.&amp;nbsp; It does include one of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/61903664/boys-valentine-striped-clip-on-bow-tie?ref=pr_shop&quot;&gt;my favorite ties&lt;/a&gt;, but even without the tie, it is great.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#39;s how it will work:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Think of something I could put on one of these 200 tea towels.&amp;nbsp; It could be a quote, a picture of something or whatever you want (that I would actually be capable of making).&amp;nbsp; Post your idea on the wall of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Divine-Domestication/177008555650694?v=wall&quot;&gt;Divine Domestication facebook page&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Then you get everyone you can to vote for your idea by making a comment or liking your post.&amp;nbsp; Whoever gets the most &quot;likes&quot; and comments on their post wins.&amp;nbsp; I will make the tea towel with their idea and send it to them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will also choose my favorite idea and make it for the person who submitted it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone can enter.&amp;nbsp; If you don&#39;t have a facebook page, you can enter your idea as a comment on this blog post, and have people vote by comments to the blog post.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each idea must be different.&amp;nbsp; If two people submit the same idea, then who ever submitted it first wins.&amp;nbsp; You can submit as many ideas as you want as long as each is different and original.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The contest starts immediately.&amp;nbsp; It will end at Midnight Central Time on February 7th, 2011.&lt;br /&gt;

Mike has been doing quite a bit of traveling lately.&amp;nbsp; He&#39;s been interviewing for a job all over the country.&amp;nbsp; I have been fortunate enough to have been invited on a couple of those trips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About a month ago we went to Minneapolis.&amp;nbsp; While Mike was in meetings, I had the luxury of spending the day shopping.&amp;nbsp; Our hotel was across the street from Mall of America.&amp;nbsp; I believe it is the largest mall in the U.S. and it is amazing.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve complained about the lack of options here, so I was in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;

I tried to mostly window shop, but I found some tea towels I fell in love with.&amp;nbsp; I bought 24 of them and thought that would be more than enough.&amp;nbsp; I embroidered some for Christmas, and for Valentine&#39;s&amp;nbsp; Day and listed them on Etsy.&amp;nbsp; They did pretty well.&amp;nbsp; In fact, I was down to the last one.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I got a call at about 11 am from Mike saying he was at the store and how many towels did I want.&amp;nbsp; I said as many as he could carry home, thinking he&#39;d get another 30 or so.&amp;nbsp; I was so happy!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At 9 pm Mike walked in the door.&amp;nbsp; The boys were asleep and I was looking at fabric online (a dangerous pastime).&amp;nbsp; He was carrying an enormous blue bag full of towels!&amp;nbsp; He had bought 200 tea towels for me!!!!&amp;nbsp; He had carefully packed them in a bag he bought, and covered them with another bag to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;

Yesterday, I got a phone call that showed I was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About 3 years ago, my then 3 month old nephew was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.&amp;nbsp; About a year and a half later, my niece was also diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.&amp;nbsp; In order to have cystic fibrosis both parents must be carriers of the genetic mutation.&amp;nbsp; That meant that both my sister and my brother were carriers as were their spouses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About a month ago, I went to the genetics department to find out if I too am a carrier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m not.&amp;nbsp; I inherited the normal healthy gene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That means that my children and my future grandchildren won&#39;t have to worry about having cystic fibrosis.&amp;nbsp; Instead we can focus on finding better treatments and a cure for my niece and nephew.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can learn more about my family and cystic fibrosis by watching &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=a91bed5f7374b03d1ba3db&amp;amp;skin_id=601&amp;amp;utm_source=otm&amp;amp;utm_medium=text_url&quot;&gt;this short video&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

I loved the way the yellow plaid turned out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve always thought buying adjustable bow ties was silly.&amp;nbsp; How many men share their ties with other men?&amp;nbsp; Why not buy ties that are made your size and not worry about the bulky clips and slide adjusters?&amp;nbsp; So I make bow ties to fit the man.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;ve finally finished some of the traditional mens ties I&#39;ve been planning.&amp;nbsp; I think they turned out pretty cute.&amp;nbsp; I love making these ties because they have so much hand work.&amp;nbsp; Once the fabric is cut, I make one machine seam to piece the tie together, and the rest is done by me.&amp;nbsp; I carefully press the tie into shape, fit the interfacing, place the lining and then stitch away.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s a great evening activity, and I can take them anywhere while I am waiting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m also making coordinating bow ties for a father son look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m still working on listing all of them, but they should be up soon! &lt;br /&gt;

I love polka dots on ties - especially orange ties.&amp;nbsp; The back is lined  in a coordinating orange plaid.&amp;nbsp; I have a matching bow tie in the plaid &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/goog_1408510021&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This tie has spring all written all over it.&amp;nbsp; I love the way it turned out.&amp;nbsp; I think I&#39;ll make a coordinating skirt for myself and bow ties for my boys and have Mike wear this for Easter.&amp;nbsp; (We probably should also get a family photo since the last one we had was when my almost4 year old was born.)&lt;br /&gt;

This is my very favorite!&amp;nbsp; I love the feedsack reproductions and this is one of the few that really lends itself to a grown up tie.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s playful and bright, but still sophisticated enough to wear to the office.&amp;nbsp; I have a great bow tie that coordinates out of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/65443403/boys-boots-and-umbrellas-bow-tie-clip-on&quot;&gt;boots and umbrellas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

It all began the year we got married.&amp;nbsp; Mike rented a condo with his mom.&amp;nbsp; They couldn&#39;t agree who should have it when we got married, so they both moved out.&amp;nbsp; We moved them out.&amp;nbsp; It was a local move, and neither of them had too much stuff.&amp;nbsp; Most of Mike&#39;s mom&#39;s things were in Las Vegas with his Dad.&amp;nbsp; She was only in town for the 4 days she worked.&amp;nbsp; It was a relatively painless move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after, Mike moved his stuff into the duplex we were to live in.&amp;nbsp; Then, a couple months latter, after the wedding, I moved in.&amp;nbsp; In less than 3 months we moved out and into University housing.&amp;nbsp; We only lasted there for another 4 or so months.&amp;nbsp; We bought our first home, and I thought it would last for years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Less than 2 years latter Mike was accepted to medical school in Washington DC.&amp;nbsp; That was when the hoarding began.&amp;nbsp; I started scavenging for boxes.&amp;nbsp; Costco, the grocery store, book stores, and even sporting goods stores.&amp;nbsp; I began my collection.&amp;nbsp; It slowly grew over the next couple of months as we began packing up our little home and all of the items we had accumulated for our new little boy.&amp;nbsp; We moved ourselves to the DC suburbs to a small apartment at the end of the metro line.&amp;nbsp; I carefully salvaged as many boxes as I could and stored them on our little balcony.&amp;nbsp; We lasted almost two years in that place before our growing family needed something a little bigger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I began scavenging again.&amp;nbsp; We had several friends who had recently moved who were also box hoarders who happily donated to our cause.&amp;nbsp; Costco, home depot and other stores also contributed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We moved again to a little condo with an attic.&amp;nbsp; All of my boxes fit beautifully carefully stowed in the rafters.&amp;nbsp; I continued to collect knowing that in less than 2 years, we would make another move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We finished medical school and bought a home in Kansas.&amp;nbsp; We moved and used every box we had and more.&amp;nbsp; They had become precious, and I couldn&#39;t get rid of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8BFYQgXBdrziBjIWTUKSI4-Jh1iLC-AJZXw-jYos-PJQjd2Brsj4ntEJzkX6mac7EcPzc-Dd-Yq3AiwedU4oUHjS8jTqLfKw5SatZNtT0yh_qWFGITHijsH1InFcoLA-xG6th34nZ03H/s1600/new+house.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8BFYQgXBdrziBjIWTUKSI4-Jh1iLC-AJZXw-jYos-PJQjd2Brsj4ntEJzkX6mac7EcPzc-Dd-Yq3AiwedU4oUHjS8jTqLfKw5SatZNtT0yh_qWFGITHijsH1InFcoLA-xG6th34nZ03H/s1600/new+house.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We had a large basement with lots of storage closets.&amp;nbsp; In went the boxes.&amp;nbsp; I took a short break from box scavenging during our 4 year stay. The were put to use regularly as we remodeled, painted and outgrew clothing and shoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But I knew the move was imminent.&amp;nbsp; I pulled out my beloved boxes to start packing so we could show the house.&amp;nbsp; I began scaveninging again.&amp;nbsp; Friends saved their diaper boxes, car seat boxes, and any other strong box that came their way.&amp;nbsp; I hid them under the stairs.&amp;nbsp; The rest came out once we had a contract.&amp;nbsp; We didn&#39;t have enough, so I made several trips to Home Depot to purchase more boxes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We made our move to Iowa.&amp;nbsp; We had only started to unpack when disaster struck.&amp;nbsp; Our house we had rented flooded and was growing mold.&amp;nbsp; To make it worse, a worker had sandblasted lead paint all over the exterior and the dust and debris were everywhere.&amp;nbsp; We had to move again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was in September.&amp;nbsp; Now we are settled...until July1st.&amp;nbsp; When we will move again.&amp;nbsp; But this time, I&#39;m not packing the boxes.&amp;nbsp; We will have our first corporate move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we just have to figure out where we will go.&lt;br /&gt;

One of Mike&#39;s best memories from childhood was eating his grandmother&#39;s cherry pie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every year he and his family would go up to Cherry Hills in Utah.&amp;nbsp; He would spend the day climbing the trees and eating himself sick on fresh juicy cherries.&amp;nbsp; They would also take ice cream buckets to fill with cherries to take home.&amp;nbsp; One year when he was about 9, Mike picked a whole bucket himself.&amp;nbsp; He planned to take that bucket of cherries to his grandmother who had promised to make him a cherry pie the following week. &amp;nbsp; The only complication was that his Grandma lived in Canada in a small town south of Calgary.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Mike packed his backpack to take on the airplane, he hid the bucket of cherries at the bottom.&amp;nbsp; He was traveling by himself, and wanted to make sure they were safe.&amp;nbsp; As Mike boarded the plane, the stewardess tried to talk to him and make him feel more comfortable.&amp;nbsp; Mike refused to even look at them for fear they would find his cherries and take them away.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon arrival at his grandparents home, Mike proudly procured the cherries from their hiding place and gave them to his grandma.&amp;nbsp; She promptly began to make him his cherry pie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, being the good wife that I am, I try to make Mike a cherry pie every once in a while.&amp;nbsp; He never complains, but I know he isn&#39;t a huge fan of the canned cherries I use in my pie.&amp;nbsp; I have looked at frozen pie cherries at the store for the pie, but I could never stomach the price.&amp;nbsp; It seemed crazy to spend $30 on cherries to make him a pie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day in early November, I was out at an Amish grocery store not about 20 minutes from where we live.&amp;nbsp; They have all sorts of wonderful items in bulk including grains, candy, nuts and seeds.&amp;nbsp; They also have bulk frozen items available.&amp;nbsp; I hadn&#39;t ever paid much attention to the bulk frozen goods, but I noticed a sign saying that pie cherries were only $30 for 20 pounds.&amp;nbsp; I couldn&#39;t resist.&amp;nbsp; I had to buy the full 20 pounds to get the price, so I did.&amp;nbsp; I brought home a huge box of frozen cherries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnrTo91N-BuiB0T9uCuXfzeBWFhknVvHidwIbfOZn0pyT-wmH8cZ2aCAQevRIQLzToPGjVmQY626O_6qavWIo7p8JmvuuDJw2fhkUjtgtr0qnLCWqrGYZOnfCme017B0SYHsXbyldrvF_C/s1600/P1010712.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnrTo91N-BuiB0T9uCuXfzeBWFhknVvHidwIbfOZn0pyT-wmH8cZ2aCAQevRIQLzToPGjVmQY626O_6qavWIo7p8JmvuuDJw2fhkUjtgtr0qnLCWqrGYZOnfCme017B0SYHsXbyldrvF_C/s320/P1010712.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I was sure Mike would be thrilled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wasn&#39;t quite as enthusiastic as I thought.&amp;nbsp; He was trying to figure out where I was going to keep 20 pounds of cherries.&amp;nbsp; After some creative rearrangement of the deep freeze, the cherries were secure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve been trying to use the cherries as creatively as possible.&amp;nbsp; I made a cherry triffle the day I brought them home.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve made several cherry pies and cherry cobler.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Today I attempted a cherry crisp.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m afraid it&#39;s more cherry than crisp.&amp;nbsp; Those little guys have lots of juice.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully it will taste okay!&lt;br /&gt;
