All the furniture I make doubles as storage. I always thought sofas were a waste of storage under them, but I don't do much with upholstery, aside from a chair seat or back. I like glass doors for displaying stuff.

My mom had an electric fire place in Maine that a neighbor had made from an old upright piano. It was beautiful. You would be surprised at some of the things that can be made from old stuff that isn't any good any more.

I have gotten a Columbia Fishing/Hiking/Photography/Outdoor Vest with 16 Pockets. Some pictures are below. The best parts are: 1) It has a huge back pocket which is perfect for a water bladder. 2) The angular back pocket is perfect for fishing poles or similar items. 3) The pockets are large enough for ammo magazines, note pads, and four places to clip things to.

Nice vest. I am working on making some more afghans for the winter. Was also thinking about making some loom knit curtains to help keep the cold out. It might work My daughter loves using the loom and I have 3 big pieces done already I suppose she can do another strip and sew them together for her room.
Tomorrow I am getting stocked up on cat food, dog food and batteries. And Wednesday I will be stocking up on my e-cig juice.

My dad use to have snow shoes when I was a kid. I always wondered why to because I don't think he ever used them

True. and that is why I get so mad at my husband some days. He goes in the bedroom and sees things we are not using any more and he starts chucking. Then I stand there saying Why are you throwing it all out we may need it again some day. He thinks if we don't need it chuck it then when we need it go buy it again. That is a waste of time and money to me. He threw out an Ace ankle brace yesterday. I told him we may need it if one of the kids has an accident again, or even him. We have used it 9 times in the past 4 years might as well keep it. He said it was taking up space and we can buy a new one. A waste of money if you ask me. Those cost around $14 each.

I don't like wasting either one. Today I went and did 2 small trips to 2 different stores and ended up saving over $67 by using the store cards and coupons. Tomorrow I plan on getting out of the store with spending about $40 for over $100 worth of stuff I can't wait. I don't like wasting hard earned cash and hubby will soon enough find that out.i been skiing only once.and yes i did my share of falling..and i been ice skating 2 or 3 times.and again,i did my share of falling..

Jontte, you had me completely baffled by that statement until I just now figured out you were talking about "skis."
(not laughing at you, I'm laughing at myself for being so slow on the uptake)
