Tutorial Tuesday: Charging Station

This week I'm featuring a charging station tutorial from Sew-Mad.

When my cell phone is charging
it generally has to sit
on my kitchen or bathroom counter
in order to be out of reach of little hands.
And I'm always worried that it will get wet.
This charging station would solve that problem perfectly!

What a brilliant idea!
You can find the tutorial here.

Tutorial Tuesday: Valentine Boxes

Valentine's Day is next week!
Some of you, like me, may have children
who are supposed to decorate their own Valentine box.

There's always a contest for the best box,
so we feel some pressure to do something extra special.

Here are some fun ideas from my Valentine's Day page on Pinterest!


I absolutely love this Monster Box!
