JOKE: Direct Object
Bobby's class was having an English lesson, and the teacher called on Bobby to recite a sentence with a direct object.
Bobby stood and thought, then said, "Teacher, everybody thinks you are beautiful."
"Why thank you, Bobby," the teacher said, blushing.
"But what is the direct object?"
"A good report card next month," he replied.

SCRAP TOTE BAG from patternsthatfityou.com
http://patternsthatfityou.com/FrToteBagCl.htm
The scrap tote bag is very quick and easy to make! Cut scraps of fabric into squares and strips, as shown in the picture, and sew them into two 12” x 16” pieces. The scrap pieces don’t have to be the same length or width – just use assorted pieces to sew together. Cut two 12” x 16” pieces of lining fabric to use as backing for the tote bag.
Make handles out of another piece of scrap fabric, cutting the handle pieces 2” wide and 18” long. With right sides together, sew each handle. Turn the handles right side out with a loop turner and press.
Match the lining pieces to the “tote” pieces having the right sides together. Position the handles into this top section, placing the handles between the tote piece and the lining fabric. Sew the top edge of each of the sets, and turn so the right sides of the tote are on the outside and the handles are in place. Topstitch along the top to keep the handles from pulling, when you use the tote bag.
Put tote bag pieces together with right sides together and sew the side seams and bottom seam. Turn inside out to complete the scrap tote bag.
The tote bag can be used to take to the beach, as a shoe carrier or knitting bag – you name it – this is a very versatile tote bag that can be made for gifts or to sell at flea markets.

Wash Cloth Slippers from patternsthatfityou.com
http://patternsthatfityou.com/FrSlipperCl.htm
Washcloth slippers make a wonderful gift for those who do a lot of traveling, as they take up almost no space in a suitcase. In addition, they make great bazaar or flea market items. Check the stores for "bundles" of washcloths, which would be much cheaper to buy - however, be sure that they come in sets of two per color, if the bundles aren't all one color.
