Does your desk eat your mail? Does it disappear into oblivion? The solution is simple. This trendy mail organizer will keep your mail handy until you’re ready to open it… or mail it out. Dress it up with your favorite fabric, add a touch of embroidery, and you have a creative answer to everyday clutter.

Kickin’ Cancer

Our technician, Darren, is a survivor. He was treated for Hodgkins about 8 years ago, and is very involved in Relay for Life. He asked us if we would help him make a quilt for auction, so naturally – we said yes! The theme this year is “Give Cancer the Boot.”

Nowadays, we usually don’t sew to save money, but this is one of those times when sewing really saved! My daughter has a birthday coming up soon and we were shopping about a month ago when she found a top that she loved….it was $80.00.

My sewing room consists of an overcrowded and un-organized craft closet, and an old table my 2-year-old uses for crafts in our office/playroom!
