I received a chain letter over the weekend to be part of a sock exchange. I had a little pair of sock earrings that I sent the person on my letter. IF YOU ARE ONE OF MY FRIENDS or DAUGHTER ( this means YOU RAIN!) expect one in the mail SOON. :0) I can only mail one to six people so if you didn't get one and would like a blank to start it in your area click on the image to get started. Share your 36 socks and other sock related images on Flickr at SOCK HEAVEN
My family let me pick out my Mother's Day gift early!!!
Yippeeeee!!!
I have always wanted a french market basket. It is great for summer yard sale finds, trips to the market, and picnics. This seller on Ebay includes a little boutique scarf to tie on the handle so I will feel SUPER CHIC this Mother's Day!!
Click on the image to buy one from the same Ebay seller. :0)
Click on the image to purchase the rice ball seasoning at one of the best online Asian Markets around.
With the gas prices what they are,it actually costs less for us to have the groceries shipped to our door than it would to drive to the nearest market.
We live in a rural area, so I see myself doing more online shopping in the future. :0)
Instructions to prepare rice ball:
1. Mix one packet Rice Ball seasoning to about 160 grams (5 oz) of hot rice, thoroughly.
2. Mold rice ball with two hands and serve
This book is called Magic Scrubber, but the crochet and knitting patterns would work great for potholders too!!

I had seen a similar cushion at Camilla's Blog
and I had always wanted to recreate one for myself.
I wanted to use a smaller Chapstick lip balm cap but I didn't have one around the house, so I used a small lotion bottle cap instead.
HOW TO:
You will need a small thin plastic cap ( lip balm type)
Something metal that can be heated over a flame to melt holes on the cap in order to thread the elastic and thread. ( I used a small scissor, you can use a small screw driver, or small metal crochet needle)
Thin elastic for the band
stuffing for the cushion, thread, and fabric in a circle the size of a jar lid or the size you need to be in proportion to your cap.
Heat your metal object over a flame (It gets hot so hold it with a potholder) and melt holes on the cap so that you can thread your elastic and still have a little space for thread and a needle. Size your ring to fit comfortably and not too tight that it will cut your circulation and turn your finger blue. :0)
Mark the elastic to your size with a pen and either sew together, or knot at each end and cut of the rest.
Gather your fabric circle with a quick in and out gathering stitch, fill with a small ball of fiber fill stuffing (I used a wool pom pom I had) and gather the circle to create the cushion. Keep your thread and needle on after you gather the cushion and attach the cushion to the cap by threading the needle through the same holes as the elastic. Sew the cushion on to the cap using the elastic holes the way you would sew a button by holding it together and sewing through the elastic holes.
You're done!
