A towel fix

Last week I bought a multi-pack of dish towels. When I unpacked them I noticed that a couple of them were not cut straight.

Since I had to fix them anyway I pepped them up with a little fabric and bias tape.

One of my friends made a yummy cake when I visited her. I had to try it. It is super easy and fast.

All you need is a box of yellow cake mix and a can of peaches (in light syrup). Add eggs and oil as it says on the package and 1/3 cup of water, then add the can of peaches including the juice.

Bake for about 45 min. at 350* or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

we had an early morning visitor today, this little turtle was greeting us in our front yard when the boys left for school, what a nice way to start the day.

Kitchen makeover

Our first week of school was very hektic and exciting. Both boys are in Middle School now, new teachers, new schedule, new classes, everything is different. It was a very busy week, but I managed to get some things done in my kitchen.

Finally there are curtains on the windows. I was not quite sure what was the best style, because the windows are not very high, but I'm pleased with the result.

The pantry needed some work too, there is (or was) one shelf stuffed with plastic bags, thats a lot of wasted space, I saw plastic bag holders for sale and they were fairly simple. A fabric tube with elastic and a holding strap on top.

I made mine a little larger and a lot more colorful. It is hanging on the inside of the pantry door. The thing I love the most is - that it limits the number of bags - when it is full, thats it, so there is no way I'm cluttering my pantry with plastic bags again.

Have a great week!
