Tim needed water for the office coffee pot that he used each morning and I also needed to find some new burner drip pans for the stove in the fellowship hall, so I took a trip to Walmart this morning and picked up a few other items while I was there.
When I got back home, I started working on a project for the church nursery. The large tote that we keep most of the big toys in has broken and/or cracked places all over the bottom. I found a bigger tote at the thrift store yesterday for $2. I decided that I would make a liner for it. So, that was my sewing project for today.

| The tote. |
 |
| I took some measurements from the tote to make my pattern pieces. |
 |
| After I got one end piece cut out, I matched up the pattern on the material and cut another end piece out. You can see the pins. |
 |
| Here's a closer view. After pinning, I cut around the edge to make the second end piece. |
 |
| I got all of the pieces cut out and now I can sew it together. |
 |
| Voila! Here's the finished product! I made the sides long enough to flip over the top edge. I sewed a casing in the edge and ran a string through it so it could be tightened to keep it from falling into the inside. The string doesn't work very well. I may end up having to thread some elastic through the casing. We will see how it holds. |
 |
| I really like how it turned out. I got this material at the thrift store quite a while ago. I had some material left over, so I am going to make some pillow cases for the little pillows that are in the nursery without covers on them. If I have enough, that is. |
Alas! No bird pictures today!
Tim was feeling better today. He slept so much yesterday afternoon that he didn't sleep well last night. He took a shorter nap today, too! Maybe we have turned a corner and he will begin to improve! Thank You, Lord!
Time to read! Nite!
