Microwave Bowl Cozy
How clever is this? Don't you hate it when you microwave your leftovers and the bowl is too hot to handle when you take it out of the microwave? Me too. I found two tutorials on how to make these clever little bowl cozys just before Christmas. Too late for me to make for gifts…

Sew Together Bag #2 Done
My second Sew Together Bag is finished, just in time. In a few days, my sewing room is going to turn into a guest room, so my sewing had better be out of the way until after Christmas. This second bag turned out pretty well. I used a thicker fusible batting in it, and it…

Busy Elf
