Dishtowel Bib

Catherine Hall's mom had this idea and I loved it. I have been looking for a bib with sleeves and one that is tight fitting. My kids destroy their clothes when they eat, even with a plastic bib on. So here is the solution. This is a bib made out of dishtowels purchased at Costco. They come in a pack of 10 for 13.86? I think. The only other purchase is bias tape. Or in my case I bought some cheap fabric at walmart and made my on bias tape. Either way (maybe 1 or 2 dollars?)
Here is a slideshow of the instructions start to finish. Even a "non-sewer" can do this. If you don't have a sewing machine come over and you can borrow mine. I'd be glad to help.

Firestation Tomorrow

Come tomorrow and bring your kids to the Marana Firestation. We will be meeting there at 10am and they will give us a tour of the station, trucks, hoses etc. It should be fun!!!

I believe if you pass the church(headed North), turn left on Grier and left on Civic Center Dr., and the firestation is on the right.

A Little Penny Pinching

I was at the Post Office the other day and stamps are going up in price once more. The lady told me to buy these "forever" stamps that I can use regardless of the price.

I also found these that I thought were interesting & wanted to share:
