One of our readers, Susie, challenged me to re-fashion an old pair of jeans.

Blah to TADA! Challenge: JEANS
Happy Monday Everyone! This week on my blog, I'm up for a little challenge. Susie sent me this e-mail:
Hi there! I just discovered your blog and I just love it, you inspire me so much and I love the fact that we're helping our environment at the same time. A few ideas I would appreciate your creativity on: (1) Old jeans/denim and (2) plastic grocery-type bags. Thank you for your blog!
Thanks Susie for your kind words! I'll first share some ideas on reviving those jeans and I'll tackle plastic grocery bags in a future post, okay?

Oh blah!
I hope you are having a good weekend celebrating the Day of Hearts and watching the Winter Olympics. I sure am, but I'm very bummed out that some computer problems have come back to haunt me...blah! I hope to fix this right away so I can get back to blogging. Thanks for understanding! Have a TADA! week ya' all!

Toys for Tots
Socks don't suck even if they're studded with holes or look old and abused.
...to TADA!
Cut the socks in different shapes, hem the sides
and stuff them with fiber fill.
Then create some wacky new friends...

Then create some wacky new friends...
Go ahead, dream up some characters & stories with your little ones.
If only to save those socks!

Socks & Gloves
Hooray! I'm blogging again after a virus found its way into my beloved computer. Oh the agony of not being able to post! But all is well now, or in my favorite words...yesterday was a blah and today is a TADA!
It's for this reason that I brought out these festive banners. Plus I've got another reason, too: my blog is now one year old! And what a fun ride it's been to "meet" all of you through your thoughts and most of all your encouragement. Thank you for stopping by to see what I've been up to and for generously leaving comments. Starting this blog is something I don't ever regret!
With a new year comes a new look and the promise of many beautiful, practical, doable blah to TADA! ideas that benefit our pockets and our planet. "Saving", in all its forms, has never been so good!
I hope you can join me and hold my hand as I begin another blogging year.

Socks & Gloves are this week's blahs. The ones at the back of the drawer. The ones with holes in them. The ones who've lost a pair. The lonely & neglected.
This blah pair was never used. They came in an amenity kit on an airplane ride I took a few years ago. But when you roll it up...
Simply roll the sock and secure the ends by hand stitching. Place it in a colorful cupcake liner (secure bottom with hot glue) and add some "sprinkles" (sewing pins).
