My reading list has been growing and growing.  Here’s some of the books that we’re either currently reading or that I’ve only half read and plan to read in the near future.  I’m a bit of a procrastinator, so I pick these up and put them back down over and over again and keep not hitting the end of them.  I’m getting very close on a couple of them though!

  When we moved to our house almost 4 years ago, we bought a Frigidaire Front Loader washing machine from Lowe’s.  It was on clearance, so we found a great deal on it.   What we didn’t know when we bought it, is that the filter can get clogged easily and cause your washer not to empty all the water out, thus leaving you with a non functioning washing machine.

Today is Monday!  Don’t you just love Mondays?  I must admit, sometimes they seem scary to me.  There is an overwhelming amount of work that needs to be done, running through my head on Mondays.  Just make a list and get through it, one thing at a time.  (Talking to myself here, lol!)

I’ve had the materials to make these hair clips for a couple months, but I kept putting it off.  The other night, when I made those t-shirt flowers, I had tried to make these first.  That was a flop!  I had bought some fabric glue that didn’t work so well!  I ended up with some sticky ribbon and sticky fingers but nothing was sticking well enough to call it success.

I was trying to make some hair clips with ribbon and fabric glue tonight.  It didn’t go so well.  I think I bought the wrong kind of glue because I just ended up a glued on, sticky mess!  Do you ever have projects like that?  Yeah….not fun!  That led me to try this project instead!   Here’s what you need: An old t-shirt (or some kind of t-shirt fabric) Scissors
