Tightening the Belt

I came across a nice blog today that coincides with their website, Cheap Cooking.com.
I think that anytime you can find new recipes to mix up the dinner rotation & keep from getting bored ON A BUDGET, it's a lovely thing!

When the Creativity Bug Strikes

I have tons of sewing to do right now for the upcoming Regency Exhibition Ball (I really wish they'd change the name to something a bit more elegant sounding), but it seems that whenever the creativity bug bites me, I get the itch to do things more than what I'm supposed to be focusing on. Today it's flower pins in crazy bright colours for my teenage daughter. Tonight it could be the urge to paint?

So, I was thrilled when I stumbled across the "Make It Do" blog today!

She has recipes, crafts, and even treatments for basic ailments that anyone...and I mean anyone...can make on a budget and in a very small amount of time! Best of all, she provides photo instructions of all of it!

I encourage you to go get creative on a budget!
