Your crowns are so cute! It makes me wish my children were that young again! The yogurt looks really, really good too! I love fresh fruit. Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog today… I’m so glad that I found you! I was actually starting to sketch True last evening… she might be the subject of my next drawing!!
I also plan to read Dr. Sears’ book, and there’s another one Dr. Bailey recommended, “Healthy Child, Whole Child” by Russell Greenfield. Did you ever have chicken pox as a child? I had it so I was fairly confident I wouldn’t be having it again… I hope that’s true! My concern with the vaccine is that none of its patients have grown old enough as of yet for us to know how long immunity may last. When Suzi’s a little older, I’d love for her to skip chicken pox with a vaccine if it seems safe. I still have scars from chicken pox, and my brother had a horrible, painful case of it; I’d hate for Suzi to go through that!
Oh bethany! I am so excited… i am honored and I can’t wait to see it!
Mine is the one on top… the one with half berries (part of it has to be free radical fighting) and the rest chocolate brownie pieces, butterfinger, and oreo! the almost eaten one is my mother-in-law…
I love yogurt! I want more tomorrow… maybe i will bug my benny!

I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
Â
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.Â
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.Â
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
