First Snow of 2012

-
Our first snow of the season began yesterday and really picked up this morning. 


Clover, our youngest cat,  has ventured out into it a few times but always returns to his favorite heater vent.

The other two cats have experienced snow many times over the years and want nothing to do with it.  They're content to stay inside our cozy house.

That's my plan for the day, too.

Crochet Kindle Case Tutorial

My wonderful husband gave me a Kindle e-reader for my birthday last month. I love to read and am enjoying having an e-reader. I like to carry it in my purse, but wanted it to be protected, so I made a cover for it. Here’s how: 1. Using cotton (Sugar & Cream weight) yarn and a size K crochet hook, chain 26. 2. Beginning with the second chain from hook, single crochet in each chain stitch to end. This should now be a half-inch longer than the height of the Kindle. 3. Chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each single crochet. Repeat this step until the piece is twice the width of the Kindle plus three inches. Bind off. 4. Lay Kindle on piece about three inches from one end.   Fold other end over Kindle. Adjust so that Kindle is completely covered and edge of piece matches side edge of Kindle.                            ...

Little Flat Gift Boxes

I like to send little gifts to my niece and nephews for Easter. They’re all teens now, but I still like to send them a little something to let them know I’m thinking about them. This little gift box is perfect for giving little gifts to friends, teachers, grandparents, pastors, and neighbors. I’m providing a blank template in PDF that you can print and decorate yourself, and a printable Easter gift box. The only thing you need to add is a sticker or piece of ribbon to hold it closed. Here is what the blank template looks like. It is ready to print on cardstock, cut out, decorate and fold into a flat little gift box, then seal with a sticker or wrap with ribbon. The Easter template is double sided: Print both sides of the cardstock, write the recipient’s name in the space on the front, add a message inside (and a little gift), then seal with a sticker or wrap with ribbon. Both are available here.

I was an Amway brat.  My parents were successful Amway distributers for many years, and we used Amway products extensively in our home.  They were good products.  Their laundry products worked well, and were a good value because they were so concentrated.  Best of all, they didn't irritate sensitive skin.  Because I have extremely sensitive skin, I've continued using Amway laundry products for most of my adult life - until recently.  I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but Amway began adding fragrance to their laundry products.  Since I can't stand wearing perfumed clothing, I started using fragrance free laundry products from the grocery store. Finding fragrance free laundry detergent and fabric softener from the store has been easy.  There are several available. There is one Amway product, however, that my family wasn't willing to give up:  Trizyme.  It's an enzyme laundry booster and one of Laura's favorite lau...
