Find of the Week:
Dollar Tree usually carries these small floor mats in black, so when I saw these green ones I grabbed a couple. People have used these to create cushion covers, which is a great idea I may copy. I was also thinking they would make lovely wall hangings. Stay tuned…

Quick Tip:
If you’re tired of losing socks in the wash (Lord only knows where they disappear to!), here’s a solution. I found this large mesh laundry bag at Dollarama for $2.50. It’s 18″ long by 14 1/2″ wide, ample room for a week’s worth of socks. There’s also a smaller version of the same bag.
You could use one bag for each member of the family if you need to, and never worry about the washer leaving you with odd socks ever again.
