Hiccup.
Hello peeps, and welcome to my new feature---Tipsy Tuesday. So, let's all go get our favorite libation and get to work!
LOL! OK, ok.....not that kind of tipsy, but TIP-sy. I always love to get tips that are useful in my home or crafting, how about you? I thought I'd offer up a helpful hint or tip or share a gadget that has been useful to me. I'd love it if you would share your tips too--either post one on your own blog and shoot me a link--I'll add it to my next week's Tipsy Tuesday post OR just share it in the comments here and I'll do the same thing. Yeah!!
I've been trying to get a little crafting done (trying!) - the kids are back to school now and things are starting to slow down to a manageable level. My local quilt shop runs a Fat Quarter sale every so often where you go pick out 20 fat quarters for a special price (yeah, love THAT!) and I found this darling fabric at the most recent one---- and made a cute bag from it !
And a little matching wallet too
And then another wallet in black and white dots--with blue as the accent color
Which leads me to my first TIP! Well, it's a gadget actually. Who puts snaps in their items?? Pain in the booty, right? I've even looked into getting a snap setter machine, but the prices are WAY out of my price range! One day I ran across this little baby, The SnapSetter, and it was so reasonably priced that I thought, "what the heck--I'll give it a shot!". Let me tell you, folks, it's a dream. Yup. No more wrecked items from trying to remove those stupid snaps that went on crooked. It's so simple, yet effective and easy to use! I just love it.
You follow the manufacturer's simple directions, smack it with a hammer, and that's it! I am not being paid at all for mentioning this, but.... if someone from The SnapSetter happens to see this and feels like gifting me with some free snaps...well, I guess I could be all right with that! LOL 
Well, that's it for today. Remember to share your helpful tips and hints--I'd sure appreciate it!
I get to go and babysit my little nephew later on today while Paul goes in for his radiation treatment- I love 3 year olds and I'm really looking forward to it!

Tipsy Tuesday - great! I can't think of anything right now, but I'll try to be ready for next week...Kathy P.S. Your new creations are scrumptious (as always!)
what a cutie!
hmmm... i'll have to think about tips.. not sure if i have any. :P i read on another blog (purl something or other, im ashamed to have forgotten) that you should always, always wash your fabric before sewing... so im washing some tonight before making some fabric napkins ...
oh yeah, i got a sewing machine for my birthday ~ bring on the tips!
What a great idea. My favorite air freshener can be bought at Walmart--Pure Citrus Orange. It is real citrus and smells so fresh. I could buy it by the case.
I love your little bag--such a cute print.
Hey Girl! Looks like you guys had fun!! Thanks for the anniversary wishes! Your wallets is so pretty!
Sandy:)
