Get Organized!

If you're the type who needs to be organized in order to function you can find a tutorial to make this wall organizer here. by Lotta Jansdotter's - whose book LOTTA PRINTS is awesome and there are some really cool tutorials on printing your own fabric, walls, drapes, etc.

Go here for a tutorial to make some fabric covered crates. I myself dont really like the look of most plastic storage crates nor do I like those cheap cardboard ones you can find at places like Ikea. This tutorial uses the plastic milk crates - which are really sturdy and can hold anything!

Stitch Magazine!

I was waiting in line to buy some fabric and Jo~Ann's when i noticed this mag on the shelf. So while I was waiting for a sweet little old lady to buy her 21 individual ornaments, I found the time to leaf thru it and its amazing! Its nice to finally have something tangible (other than a blog or online tutorial) to get some really cool and fresco sewing ideas. You can see whats available on the cover^. I love how they have so many neat and modern things to create - if you sew or just like being inspired - go get an issue of Stitch. Yeah, its $8 - BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT! oops sorry for the caps. hehee

I Love NPR - New Treasury!

I have been pretty hooked on NPR and CPR-(Chicago Public Radio) so much lately I decided to make a treasury reflecting how much I enjoy it. I donated recently cuz of course to support them but mostly to be entered to win a Wii - which were being given away every hour. I didnt win it, but at least I'll get a cool t-shirt with and old timey radio on it. Ok, enough yammering - enjoy the treasury!
