Organize: Bed Pockets Great Gifts to Sew bedside pockets Simple-to-sew handy pockets. Tools + Materials · fabric runner · sewing machine or needle and thread 1.

But we grimace at wasteful rituals like throwing away a perfectly good pumpkin after using it for only a few days as a decoration.

But at the Green Cheapskate's house, we eat our jack-o-lantern, every last bit of it. While some particularly meaty varieties of pumpkins are specifically grown to be eaten (including Sweet Jack-be-Littles, Cheese Pumpkins, Sugar Pumpkins, and some delicious heirl...
