Sewing Room OrganizationTips
There's nothing as exasperating as dressing in a hurry and ripping off a button or snagging a hem loose on your favorite dress. All the items you need to quickly repair the dress are scattered and in different compartments and drawers throughout the house and sewing room. With no time to scavenger hunt for the right color thread, needle and/or button, a quick change out of your favorite dress and into a less flattering dress is your only choice. And then the dress will hang there for months to years awaiting a simple fix. But it doesn't have to be! Create for yourself a perfect space for mending and sewing.

Splitting up Chores Could Save Your Relationship
One of the most frequent causes of conflict between couples is sharing housework. When both working partners are toiling hard during the day, they come home exhausted and housework is the last thing they want to do.

Time Start Planting!
Just like a baseball fan, hope springs eternal when the weather starts to turn warm. That weed patch you called a garden last year WILL yield the biggest tomatoes in the neighborhood and keep all backyard barbecues within a ten mile radius supplied with sweet corn. All it takes is a little know-how and a small amount of garden preparation. When does one start the prep work for the garden you ask? Last fall would actually be a good time to begin. But since H. G. Wells took his "Time Machine" plans to the grave with him, you may have to start late. No worries. You can have a great flower or vegetable garden despite the fact that Spring has already started, and your neighbor already has foot high peppers.
