    I have an oversize pretty flowery sham I thought I would do something with someday. Now I know what. I think I'll cut a long side off and hem it, and seam up the opening, since I have a big sewing machine.

    I have been saving the Wal-mart brand of Crystal Light containers. They are way to good to throw away. Do any of you have a suggestion for what they would be good for?

    You could make a hole in the lid and feed elastic, yarn, thread or binding tape through it.
