Eco Travel Lid

New Tutorial!  (in the left-hand column)

Forget plastic wrap and foil.  Here is an alternative that is much more attractive!  This Eco Travel Lid is perfect for short-term food storage, especially while traveling to a picnic or party.  This is not intended for long-term storage since it will not create an air-tight seal. 

In the tutorial I have explained how to make a bowl cover, but this could be easily adapted for other containers as well (9x13, platter, etc).  Very fun, fast and eco-friendly...give it a try!

Behind the Scenes

 

Behind the scenes, things are never as perfect as they appear...

A Purpose

I thrifted this vintage owl a while back and he has finally found his purpose in life:

 

OK, so his #1 purpose is to be adorable.  But, he needs a job.  You see, his first job was to tell everybody the temperature.  Unfortunately, he has lost that function.  His self-esteem is much improved now that he has a new job.  He does it so well.

I bought this Ed Emberly fabric from Felt Cafe (sold out now) and made a pen pocket.  To attach it I used sticky back velcro with some extra glue on the fabric side to help it adhere (isn't strong enough on its own).  

 

psst-  don't tell the owl, but he's not really holding up the whiteboard.  I adhered the whiteboard to the wall with the sticky tabs that it came with, poked some wire into the back of the whiteboard and made it look like it was hanging from the owl- shhh
