Teeny Tiny Tip: The best bedside water glass

Do you knock your water glass off your bedside table while rearranging your  blanket? Or miss the table when going to put the glass back down, spilling water near your precious bedside electronics?

Oh. Me neither 🙂

In case you have a friend that does, the best bedside water glass by far is not a glass at all. It’s a sport water bottle.

The best bedside water glass isn't a glass at all

Plastic, so it’s unbreakable. With a nozzle cap so if you knock it over, nothing spills. And if you hunt around, super inexpensive (not a paid endorsement. just my favorite brand of water bottle).

Added bonus – you can take it with you for walks, bike rides or in the car.

A couple of links I found eye-catching this week

  • Web cams at Yellowstone national park – probably better in spring and summer but still kind of neat.
  • With a great coupon code from a co-worker we tried Hello Fresh last summer. This stir fry tofu dish is similar to one of the meals we received.
  • I’m a list maker so any new twist to grocery shopping catches my interest.
  • I recently finished Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project (not an affiliate link, so I really encourage you to check it out from the library) and it it she identifies herself as a person who needs to receive gold stars for work she has done. I’m in that category, but I also need my green stars from Fitbit. This older piece by David Sedaris made me laugh..

Teeny Tiny Tip: All Matching Socks

To make it easier every morning, and even easier on laundry day, I’ve revamped my sock drawer.

all matching socksFirst, I got rid of all my socks. And replaced them with two weeks worth of identical pairs (not a paid endorsement. just my favorite socks).

And then I got rid of the drawer. Since they are all the same, they don’t need to be sorted. Pick two, any two, you have a winner!

A couple of links I found eye-catching this week

  • Bon Appetit has a whole section called “Cooking without recipes,” which really describes my cooking style.
  • When I bought my Silhouette Cameo 3, it was October, and searching around did yield all sorts of tutorials, videos and tips, but it felt like it was trial by fire (and learning by failure). For Christmas, Silhouette School posted   10 Tips for Getting Started with your First Cut and 10 Things No One Tells Beginners Before the First Cut and both really would have made my my first weekend a lot easier.
  • Craft room tours on Pinterest are a big thing, and while this one is outdated (she has since moved into a craft cottage) I really like it because it’s a more realistic representation of home crafters.
  • And the car enthusiast as well as the pre-press tech at suzerspace enjoyed  swiss-miss.com’s link to this weird Porsche digital art.

First Friday: January 3, 2017
  1. New Christmas Stockings! I added my name using a variation of the technique used for these cards.
  2. First snow of the season!
  3. Contact paper snowflakes for the back window.
  4. Paper flower for the top of the Xmas tree. I saw a Pinterest pin that led me to here (which is not in English, but a picture IS worth a thousand words).
  5. This year’s Christmas Tree. My husband says every year is the best one yet!
  6. Paper reindeer – I actually made 8 with black noses and one with red for the back window. Again, from a Pinterest pin that leads to a page not in English.
  7. Christmas Dinner (my plate – I’m a vegetarian, so it’s all about the side dishes). Green Bean Casserole, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Carrots, Cranberries and Feta, Cauliflower Au Gratin, Stuffing, Zucchini and Tomato Tartin and Cranberry Devil Death Sauce.
  8. My Christmas Present – an Alex cart from Ikea. The right size to hold my Silhouette Cameo, and the drawers are large enough to hold 12 x 12 paper.
  9. New Year’s Eve Dinner – Cheese Enchiladas
