Clearanced to $10, however, there isn’t a bag for it within 100 miles. This discovery led me to this link:

http://makingdowiththenotsonew.blogspot.com/2009/01/make-your-own-reusable-fabric-vacuum.html

It was a tutorial on how to make your own vacuum cleaner bag. Her instructions call for “granny type polyester pants”… well, I had a pair of Skylar’s Old Navy running pants (polyester not nylon)… and the best part is that his pants had zippered pockets… NO ZIPPER installation!!

I finished up my bag, tried it out  and VIOLA… it works like a dream… so, of course, i vacuumed everything possible in my 250 sq. foot RV. My first run with the new bag yielded good results, clean pickup of everything from dog hair to tiny bits of dust. The bag emptied very easily and I feel like this is my most clever endeavor to date!

For years I have worried about Skylar’s heart/ lung function.

It completely thrills me to see him participate in a sport. It was always the plan that he grows stronger with each year. Be still my beating heart…

It has a horse coral, aviary, full shop, and room for an RV. It is at the end of a long road backing up to the windfarms… LOVE IT! Plus, we saw two awesome barn houses along the way as well as a barn with two horses peeking out at us!

I’m more than happy to have space enough to sew in the RV. I had an opportunity to sew curtains from a dirty santa blanket for our friends that passed through this christmas. *win.win* They traveled to the Grand Canyon in this tiny teardrop trailer. I was very, very jealous of it’s pint sized character!

My friend Bly & I set up mobile sweatshop at the clubhouse…

I super duper love it when someone cleans up after me… Do you think she dressed to match her DYSON on purpose??
