How to Shop: Harbor Freight

Ladies, the next time your man asks if you want to go to Harbor Freight (or any other hardware/tool store) you should say, "Why, yes, honey! I would love to!" He may soon realize that no store is safe from your shopping prowess. Just make sure you take some nose plugs with you. If you haven't ventured into the hardware store to find items you can use in your craft room then you're missing out. Harbor Freight has a reputation for being cheap. And they are. And sometimes you get what you pay for. However, sometimes you find some gems. General rule of thumb: if it needs to be precise, buy it elsewhere. Before we begin, these are in no particular order or organized in any way. I also have no idea how prices compare to other stores. Pictured below: self gripping hangers, black Velcro, 18" magnetic bar, stretch wrap. The self gripping hangers are great if you need a spot to hang things but don't have the room or layout for a tensio...

Waffle Iron!

I hated food the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. I'm lucky in that I didn't have the morning sickness that many do. I did have a general feeling of being queasy and I hated all food except cold fruit. Strawberries and clementines never tasted so good. And ice cold water. If it was cold, I wanted it. Thankfully that phase has passed. Now I have an obsession with waffles. I generally hate most breakfast foods so this is new to me. They're too heavy and dense. Breakfast shouldn't leave you feeling like you need to get back into bed. Because I have a new obsession with waffles, I purchased a waffle iron. After much research and debate, I purchased the Presto Flipside . It's not the model that was recommended by Alton Brown, but it replaced that model. You know, in case you're an Alton Brown nerd. It's a Belgian waffle maker with non-stick plates. The plates aren't removable but the non-stick coating works wonderfully....

Sewing Closet Redo: The Cabinet

I have a pretty great hubby dubs. He built this cabinet for me. Doesn't it look great! It give the closet a fantastic built in look and provides a bunch of storage for my bulky fabrics. The top drawer is shorter than the bottom two, making it perfect for all those sewing notions that I need, but don't use often. Like elastic and Velcro. The wheels lock so I can open the drawers without pulling the cabinet halfway across the room. I just love it. He built it in the same style as our nightstands. In my head this provides continuity in our house. I don't know that anyone else really cares about that. Oo la la! I can slide it out from under the desk so I still have that workspace and can access my fabric storage in the wings of the closet. But, wait... SHAZAAM! That, my friends, is a drop leaf extension. I wanted a drop leaf in the closet but unfortunately it just wouldn't work out. We talked through a bazillion plans ...
