First time making a wet bag

Today I made a wet bag.

I have been talking (and thinking) about doing a sewing project for a long time.  Collecting backpacks, raincoats and the like, in order to create new things from them.  Well, tonight/this morning, I decided I was done watching DIY and how-to videos on Youtube.  I was going to make a wet bag.  (I haven't used my sewing machine in 12 years.)

Recycling fabric fun

So, while other expectant mothers are perhaps crocheting booties, knitting onesies, or sewing cute little baby quilts, I am over here like "Man! I can't wait to cut this old duffle bag apart and sew it back together as a wet bag or an apron!"

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Sew Something

Procrastination at its finest

Why do today what can be done tomorrow?

Am I right?  If you have bills to pay and they are due towards the middle to end of the month and you've still got a few weeks to go, why not just wait until it gets a little bit closer to the due date?  If you're in school and you've got a test in a month, why bother studying now?

If you have guests coming over for the holidays and plan on baking sweets and treats, you shouldn't need more then a week (or less) to grocery shop and prepare.  

Doing things way before they need to be done is just silly, because... think of everything else you could be doing!  

WRONG!

The Importance of Organization

Organization:

Organization is something that I think most people take for granted. For example, when you walk in the front door after a long day at work, are the keys left in a jacket pocket? A purse? Hung on a hook?  Or, who knows what was done with them? When you go to get your mail, do you bring it inside and then add it to the growing pile on the kitchen table or the coffee table?  Do you open it all and then stack the open envelopes and letters in a pile after barely glancing at the contents?  Is your refrigerator full of old and new food alike, mixed with take-out containers, tupperware and ziplock bags?  How about the closet, that space between your bed and the floor, or that shelf you can barely see in the top of your cabinets, are they full of miscellaneous junk you didn't know what to do with? And the car, is it pristine like the day you bought it? Or is that another clutter story?
