"Martha Stewart Living," like the woman who represents it, is stylish, elegant and immensely interesting.  The only problem is that most of us don't particularly possess either the financial means or amount of time needed to make our homes as well-organized and chic as Martha does.  Still, it's fun to read through this publication and look at all the beautiful photos...

Having a small bathroom is a pain. Having one with very little storage is even worse. After spending years running back and forth to the hall closet to get towels and other things, I had reached my limit. I wanted storage space in that bathroom, no matter how I had to get it. The first thing I did was go online and check home decor and bathroom stores. There wasn't much I liked and most wer...

The Stewart Golf X3R Romote Golf Caddie is one of the most expensive recreational gifts that I have seen, but It really is nice.  Especially for anyone who loves to play a game of golf.  If you know someone who plays golf on a regular basis and you happen to have an extra $2,000 lying around that this would make the perfect gift.  I found it at the sharper image, but I am sure th...

In January 2002, just two weeks after the fall of the Taliban, the author, Rory Stewart, started walking across Afghanistan from Herat to Kabul, straight across the mountains which were covered with snow.  Many people warned him not to go.  They said it was dangerous for a Westerner (the author is Scottish) to be walking around by himself.  Not only were the people dangerous, he ...

There are tons of women's interest magazines on the market, which is why I am really picky about the sorts of magazines I read. I picked up Martha Stewart Living on a whim one day, and I immediatley went online to become a subscriber. She has so many wonderful tips! I learned how to make great holiday centerpieces using items I already had at home. I learned how to make really deliciou...

I love crafts and scrapbooking and I am always looking for tools that are fun to use and work well too.  For Christmas Santa brought me the Martha Stewart Screw Punch which is made by EK Sucess. It comes in a really pretty box that you store the punch to keep it safe and also looks great on display in your craft space too. This punch i...

  I love shopping at Michael's, especially when I have a 50% of coupon from the Sunday paper.  I was in need of some new markers for adding that personal touch to homemade cards, filling in colors when I rubber stamp and also for occasional scrapbooking.  Instead of buying just a few colors I ended up purchasing the Martha Stewart 36-Piece Arts & Crafts Marker Set.  ...

When adding to your outdoor patio furniture consider getting the Martha Stewart Shelter Island Bar Table.  This is a sturdy, attractive small table that you can put out on the patio.  It is wonderful when you just need somewhere to put your glass down or a book that you have been reading.  It is also nice to put an outdoor light on it.  I also use it to put potted plants on....

Martha Stewart has an excellent chaise lounger called the Martha Stewart Shelter Island Chaise Lounge.  It is priced at $199.99.  This is reasonably priced for a lounger.  It is comfortable and durable.  It will go with any colored patio furniture and has an attractive look.  You can use it for sunning or for relaxing in the shade or even indoor if you prefer.  Sho...

Say what you will about Martha Stewart but the woman has style. Even so, I can rarely afford to buy any of her products, even if she does sell them at K-Mart. But when I saw these Martha Stewart Collector Boxes on sale at Michael's Crafts I snatched them up. They regularly sell for $17.99, which is a ridiculous price, but I happened across a clearance sell and got them for $3.99 each. Makes...

I purchased this book for myself many years ago as a joke. My best friend was the crafty type and I considered myself to be her polar opposite. I intended to give the book to her to show her how domesticated she had become.The more I looked at the projects listed in the book, the more I became interested in completing them. This book features projects ranging from cute cookie boxes to exotic ha...

My old Tupperware kitchen containers were getting pretty tired looking.  I needed something new. While shopping at K-Mart one day, I was pleasantly surprised to find these Airtight Food Storage Container Sets from the EveryDay Collection by Martha Stewart.These plastic sets range in different prices depending on how many are in a set and the size of the containers.  My ...

The Martha Stewart Shelter Island Gazebo is an attractive item to add to the outside of your home.  It goes with so many different patios and looks very attractive.  The price is very reasonable at $499 and you can purchase it at Kmart.  This particular item comes with mosquito netting to keep out the bugs when you are outdoors and that always comes in handy.This makes a wonderfu...

Absolutely love it. It looks great and has withstood the test of time. The set consists of a slightly tinted etched glass top table and five chairs, including cushions. Except for a change in the color of the cushions the set is still available - unchanged - after nine years. Definitely a winner. Yes, five chairs not four make up the set - can you say good dea...

I love cook books and have a large collection of them. When I get a new one, I sit down and go through it page by page marking recipes that sound wonderful to try. My daughter knows I strive to be my own little Martha Stewart so a she had her Dad buy me one of Martha's books as a gift.The book they purchased me was Martha Stewart's Menus for Entertaining. This is a book that has 20...

I really wanted this product but I was afraid it was too good to be true and actually would not work like it promised. I am happy and excited to report that it not only works but it's really easy too.For me circles are the absolute hardest thing to cut out. Yes, I have a ton of round things I can trace to make circles of different sizes but when I cut them out, they never seem to be, well.....

I found a little gem of a collandar at K-Mart in the Martha Stewart "Everyday Collection," so when my daughter, who is away at college, grew loathsome of campus cafeteria food and wanted to do some cooking for herself and her friends, I knew she would need a collandar for all the oodles of noodles they would surely consume.Since I was already at Target, I thought I could fin...

I earlier reviewed a book under the Far Flung Adventure Series and this is another one of that. It is written by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell.The story is about a young boy named Fergus Crane. His adventures take him to the Emerald Sea, Peril Deep Underground, and other interesting places where he faces many challenges and thrills as he attempts to rescue his school friends from a villain. He...

Knitting for Baby (by Melanie Falick and Kristin Nicholas) is my go-to book for baby gifts. It has 30 patterns that range from quick-knit booties to detailed sweaters. I wouldn't recommend it as the very first book for someone interested in teaching themselves to knit, but anyone who has spent a little time with a basic instruction book will find achievable projects here. The patterns are c...
