Simply staple fabric together, and viola! Good as new! I also use this technique to hem pants and skirts that I may have chopped off or even brand spanking new items that were made for amazons and not lil shorties like myself. It's much faster than needle and thread, and easier to modify as well.

Stay tuned for more helpful household hints....

Since my last post I have:

Been hired twice, quit once.

Realized people that work with children are insane and that I never want to do it again.

Got a great job right in the middle of a park that houses a golf course, art museum, zoo, and the little art school where I work. (Maybe I will contact that park ranger blogger?)

Gotten rid of one useless boy.

Acquired a drum set.

Adopted a cat.

Thrown a giant party with a moon bounce.

Turned my entire spare room into a closet.

Gotten a DVD player.
