You've saved all year to fill up your gas tank, and finally, summer vacation has arrived. You, your friends and family are getting ready to hit the open road. But first you have some stuff (aka crap) you need to organize for the trip: tunes, cell phone, scribbled notes, tickets, Google Maps printouts, pens, snacks, your wallet, etc., etc., etc. If you skip this important organizational step, here's what will happen: You are driving, keeping your eyes on the road (of course), and you reach out to grab something from the pile of stuff (crap), but can't quite reach it/find it without rear-ending the truck in front of you. Instead... the needed item falls off the seat, lodging somewhere between the seat and the door. Feel free to jump in here and repeat the words you shout in your car. Our spiffy car caddy is designed to organize your stuff (crap), improve your driving safety, and look cute as can be all at the same time. It straps around the seat's headrest, so you can hang it to the front or the back. Get organized, and get going.

Whether your hobby (or Dad's) involves needle and thread, paints and brushes or hammer and nails; you have tools of the trade. But how often are those tools in one place and you're in another? Our tool tub helps you take your stuff with you wherever you need to go. This is a great gift for the Mister-Fix-It Dad in your life, who has been known to shout, "Who stole my screwdriver again?!" loudly enough for the neighbors to hear. This finished tote is approximately 12" tall and 10" in diameter with a 6¾" deep pocket panel. A perfect size for those small jobs around the house.

It's April 25th... do you know where your Mother's Day present is?? No worries if you don't. Sew4Home has you covered with four fast, easy and very pretty projects for your mommy. Today, we start it off with our Market Tote. It's a simple lined, box-bottom bag, featuring fun double-ruffle ribbon accents. But there's nothing simple about the result – it's a truly beautiful bag that Mom (or sis or auntie or grandma or....) will love.

Rounding out our Clean & Tidy week are these easy-to-make basket liners. It's a great project to turn an otherwise ordinary wicker basket into a colorful organizer for just about anything. Sometimes, when my latest catalog arrives from Pottery Barn, Storables or Crate & Barrel, I imagine myself living in those pages with my life neatly tucked away into sleek stainless steel bins and buckets. Then I realize there's never anyone at home in those catalogs, so it would probably be pretty lonely. Instead, I'll make some of these cozy basket liners and invite some friends over for coffee.
