Sharing some of the pictures with you. I was inspired from the cable pattern Balme from http://www.berroco.com/. Made some changes and created a tote bag.

Weight loss made easy

Weight loss made easy.
The number one way we burn calories is exercise, number two is digesting food. Ask you doctor how many calories you should eat in a day to control your weight, Divide this by five. Eating five smaller meals spread out over a day will actually fool our body into burning more calories by working all day.

How to get Kids to exercise

How to get Kids to exercise
One of the culprits responsible for the increase in the number of overweight youngsters is a lack of exercise. Here are some tips from fitness expert Dr. Kenneth Cooper and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education on how to get your children moving.

- Offer rewards for exercising, such as tokens they can save to attend a sporting event or theme park.
- Have a “toy run” by hiding small, inexpensive toys along a neighborhood route. Walk or run with your child to pick up the prizes.
- Watch events on TV or movies with a sports theme, such as “The Karate Kid: or “The Rookie,” and then try to engage the kids in such an activity.
- Walk or ride a bike with your kids while doing errands.
- Plan birthday parties around a sports theme, such as bowling, miniature golf, or skating.

Tips for buying new furniture

Tips for buying new furniture
Buying new furniture is a sure way to take a bite out of your savings account, but it doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are a few ways you can save while furnishing your home:

Buy furniture from a furniture rental store- Furniture rental outlets often have retail shops where they’ll sell their slightly used furniture at clearance prices.

Buy furniture from a model home- Brand new furniture at clearance prices from model home builders Look under Homes in the yellow pages.

Buy directly from the manufacturer- If you know what you want try dropping into the manufacturer’s outlet or give them a call and order directly from them. It cuts out all the middlemen which lower prices.
