Remote Storage

Here is another Amy Butler fabric that you might be seeing a lot of.  I have seen these before in the store and have realized how important they really are.  My family and I have issues putting things back where they belong but we had one problem with the remotes to the TV and DVD players... the had no home.

So once again I grabbed my sewing machine, some extra fabric and my imagination and went for it.  Now they have a home...!

My Favorite Boxers

I purchased a pair of red boxers with zebras on them from Old Navy about 7 years ago for $5.  I have worn the as pj's, workout shorts and around the house.  Unfortunately the bottom gave out and I was forced to make a decision... 1. throw them away or 2. re-purpose them.

So I set them aside as I pondered what to do.  Since the front of them was the only place that I could use my project had to be small.   So I could make a bag... nope.  I could make a case for my electronics... nope.  But since it is the end of the year, my mom bought me a new planner.  I love it but it is bright yellow and screams MOM.

I have decided to take myself back to me the mom and not just mom... so I made a cute cover for my new organizer.

I added a little personal touch.  And some black ribbon to close it...

I made pockets for my large items, my pen and pencil, and my business cards...

And I needed a little ribbon tab to keep my place...

CD storage

So I am not behind the times on this one.  I do have an iPod and I have tons of songs on it.  But driving with the kids in the car it is just easy to throw in a CD of their favorite songs.  But since it has been so long since I had CD's in my car I needed some storage.  Luckily I had some extra fabric and a little creativity.

I know that this matches my dress but I just happened to have a ton of this fabric.
