Muffin Tin Monday

I'm getting better!  I actually made Muffin Tin Monday on Monday & blogged about it the same day!  It's late in the day, but I did it!  Today, I made Mickey Mouse PB on rye sandwiches w/ goldfish crackers, applesauce, pretzels, & diced apricots for the kids.  They were really excited, but Laurana informed me she didn't like rye bread, so she licked the PB out of it!  Go here for more great ideas from Muffin Tin Mom.  You can also "Like" her on Facebook! 

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh MY!

Muffin Tin Monday for lunch today.  I decided to build a theme around animal crackers.  Having lunch a little later than usual & have to have dinner a little earlier than usual since kids are going to VBS tonight.  
Head on over to Muffin Tin Mom for more great ideas from others that post their meals on there every week.
The kids ate an animal open faced sandwich (no way to make the top line up), peach applesauce, diced ham, & animal crackers.  You can see my little guy doesn't want to wait for a picture.

Muffin Tin Meal & I'm back!!

Stop by here for great Muffin Tin Monday meal ideas.  She usually has themes, but is taking the summer off from themes.  Today, the kids had blueberries, apple sauce, chicken mozzarella pizza mini submarine sandwiches, and a couple fried potatoes leftover from yesterday.    In other news, notice I took a pic & uploaded the same day?  I found the cord to my camera - wrapped around the cord to the laptop.  Good thing I took the laptop w/ me so I could discover this!!  I'm back baby!!

I'm a mess

I lost my camera cord & battery to my camera.  I found the battery, but still can't find the cord.  When I find the cord, I will be able to share more pics.  I may just have to get a CD made of the photos on the memory card, so I can share more now.  I know it is around here somewhere!  I have 2 even!  I don't care for being in a tiny house w/ only 3 closets.  Sometimes, everything doesn't have a place, so it is hard to keep every little thing organized.  I don't have a camera bag, since the camera is almost as small as my cell phone.    I have to get an over-the-door shoe organizer for cords.  I will label each pocket w/ what the cord or charger goes to. 

What are your favorite inexpensive organizing ideas to use in small places?

Felted Wool Purse

I made this purse from a wool sweater I bought from the thrift store.  I just felted it in the washer & dryer.  Figured out a size & cut away.  It is hand sewn, since my machine is acting up.  The flower was made w/ scraps & the handles are braided strips from the sleeves.  I lined it with an old t-shirt & made pockets from more scraps from the sweater.  I have since made a few more & plan to keep on making them.  I haven't liked any as well as my first.  I made one for a gift for my friend Jaci from a cardigan sweater.  Photos of more purses to come.
