happy father's day



I am consolidating my etsy shops into one. I previously sold flower pens under the name "gyniphr-n-stefuni" and last year, I began a shop called "new uses for old clothes". Recently (within the past six months), I started thinking seriously about combining everything into one online shop with the goal of someday having a brick and mortar shop to call my very own. And so the bringing together of all of my crafty endeavors into one etsy shop is one of the many steps necessary to make my dream a reality.




Today I am adding items to the etsy shop as well as writing a few thank you notes since last night was our wedding shower. The wedding is in sixty-nine days!

a vibrating reminder

Invisible Clock II - Vibrating Reminder

The Invisible Clock is an assistive device that works great for timed voiding programs, medication reminders, meeting timer, exercising and literally hundreds of other activities when a flexible timer is needed. The unit has 12 daily alarms that can be set for specific times. This provides you with flexibility in alerting you or your child to perform a specific task when a specific interval is not practical. Alternately, the unit allows you to choose a specific interval when it is more convenient. In fact, you can choose both. The 12 alarms are automatically organized by the time of day, so it's easy to keep track of your programmed alarms and easy to check, erase, or set additional alarms. The Invisible Clock uses a vibration system (similar to that of the common pager) that is private yet easy to feel. You can even adjust the vibration or beep to low for a gentle and quiet reminder, or to medium or high for a stronger alert. The single AAA battery is easy and inexpensive to change. Affordably priced, easy to program and use.
I discovered the above item thanks to http://www.momswithadd.com/.  I have not been diagnosed with ADD by a medical professional but my many years of psychology schooling and my natural inclination for reading led me to books that helped me explain me to me.  That last sentence might not make sense to you but it does to me.

*shakes head*

Anyway, I wanted to share the Invisible Clock with others as well as the website.  Might be helpful to someone.  I use the many alarms on my iPhone in the manner that is described for using the Invisible Clock.  We all find what works for us.

time wasters

You can lose yourself visiting http://www.peopleofwalmart.com and http://www.beachcreeps.com and http://www.downloadsquad.com/category/time-waster though you might want to set some sort of alarm so that you don't completely lose track of time and waste your *entire* day.

I found http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/09/02/98-blog-tips-for-a-lazy-sunday/ earlier today and even though the post is nearly three years old, I am sure that the information is still more than mildly accurate.  I hope to find the time to peruse the tips in the near future.

amazon isn't just a rain forest that needs saving

It seems that I'm on a hiatus of sorts with regard to new bags but I'm not on a hiatus from sewing crafty goodness from old clothes. You see, I made a super cute baby blanket / quilt and I've been steadily working on the quilting / tacking aspect of this project. I posted a picture on my squarespace blog - http://newusesforoldclothes.org - as well as on my facebook account. I am looking forward to making more of these baby blankets in the not too distant future. Maybe even one (or three) for myself. ;)

The great thing about this blanket is that I used several old tshirts on this project. The backing is new unbleached cotton. The green print fabric is from a pair of pajama pants. The single O block is from my fabric destash, while my darling daughter embroidered the O for her new cousin-to-be due at the end of November.
