Ok, so super redundant, but really, with a 3 year old and an 11 month old who adores blueberries and anything with marinara sauce, it seems like there should be something to simplify the laundry situation altogether.

How about a machine that simply adds more time to the day when you need it and speeds it up when you just need the kids to go to sleep! lol.; June 16, 2010 at 5:35 AM
tamie said...: I woiuld really like some kind of toy sorter! My kids just put all little pieces, legos, barbie shoes, blocks, puzzle pieces, play food, etc. all in the toy box. I try to keep all the pieces to each toy together. But who has time to sort through them daily? So, I'd like a magical sorter and when it's time to pick up you put the small pieces and odds in and it sorts them into the right storage bins. Kinda like a change sorter! I know, I should keep dreaming! lol; June 16, 2010 at 6:49 AM
tamie said...: I liked on facebook!!!! I love your blog!; June 16, 2010 at 6:58 AM
Miss Jeanne said...: Oh my gosh! I totally love this and have not seen it yet! I also need something to simplify my schedule... hmm... do you think they could make time ... or sewing related... something to simplify or eliminate pinning!!!; June 16, 2010 at 8:51 AM
Miss Jeanne said...: I am also following you now!; June 16, 2010 at 8:53 AM
Lulabelle said...: Cutting out sewing patterns! Enter your pattern data into a magical machine, along with the fabric to be cut and voila! perfectly cut pieces.; June 16, 2010 at 10:19 AM
I Wanna Try said...: Okay so for sure what I need to simplify my life would be some sort of device that stays under my daughter's bed. That way when she is told to clean her room which to her means stuff everything under her bed. My under the bed device would just blow everything right from under there and right back into her arms, so that she would have to put it back in its place where it really belongs. Why not blow it directly into where it belongs you might be asking...well this was about simplifying my life not hers, right? Plus she needs to learn to clean!; June 16, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Adry said...: I am so excited to find out about this marvelous machine!!!! It would definitely eliminate the need for a soundproof room - UGH the horror in trying to make bias tape by hand!

I "like" you

The invention of my dreams? Self cleaning diapers! Yes - no changing needed! Kind of like the self cleaning oven - ya know? :)

I hope I win! Can't take another day of pullingofthehair-itis; June 16, 2010 at 11:23 AM

Geralyn said...: I would love to magically have everything ready for me and all three of my girls to leave the house every morning. It always seems to take me forever to get everyone dressed and snacks and drinks packed up to go.; June 16, 2010 at 12:37 PM

Lynne said...: What I really need someone to invent is a machine that will give me a few extra hours every week to let me do some more sewing! Or possibly, I just need to find a way of getting my kids to nap in the day and sleep better at night :-)

Lisa said...: Cool beans! A bias tape maker would be the best thing right at this moment since I've recently discovered the pure joy in using homemade bt vs. store bought. Bliss might be more like it. What would be a great do-dad for Simplicity to make for me? How about an automatic laundry put-er-away-er. (Don't mind washing or folding...just putting it back where it belongs!); June 16, 2010 at 4:04 PM
Lisa said...: Oh...and I FB'd ya!; June 16, 2010 at 4:05 PM
Michelle said...: Oh man, great giveaway. The only thing I'd really like simplified would be love. Why does it all have to be complicated?; June 16, 2010 at 5:11 PM
webdance said...: I'd love a machine that handled all the paperwork decision-making for me, and then transferred all the relevant data to my brain each night!; June 16, 2010 at 5:29 PM
Anonymous said...: Who'd have thought this little dandy machine even existed...trust simplicity!! Bias making is so time consuming...not to mention the iron singed fingers.....mmm so simple!

I would love a machine to simplify sewing from a pattern. I don't ask for much, just cut out the pattern, iron it, iron the fabric, pin the pattern, cut the fabric pieces....all I'd have to do is sew....bliss!!!!!

Christie said...: I just made 3 yards of bias tape, all the while thinking about how much I would LOVE a bias tape maker! This would make my life much simpler. That, and a laundry-folding robot too! :)

Alisha said...: Brand new follower here...and I don't ever win these things, but thought I'd give it another try because I could TOTALLY use this! What needs simplifying in my life. Something like the Roomba, only one that actually works, because I've tried the Roomba and it just doesn't work that well. If I could have clean floors all the time, I'd be a much happier woman!; June 16, 2010 at 8:42 PM
Reagan Law said...: wow I never knew such a thing existed!! cool beans!! I need deep cleaning to be simplified.. scrubbing bathrooms dusting the whole house... all of that fun stuff!; June 17, 2010 at 6:10 AM
Amy C. said...: I WANT ONE OF THESE SOOOOO BAD. Simplify my life? How about an automatic kitchen cleaner. I feel like all I ever do is load and unload the dishwasher, and I can't keep the clutter from reappearing on the counters as soon as I clear it!

For now I'd just settle for an easy way to make my own bias tape, though :D; June 17, 2010 at 6:57 PM
Amy C. said...: I "liked" you

Kathrin said...: I'd BADLY need some magical machine to cut fabric! I'm new to sewing and I make the most mistakes when cutting fabric. So frustrating! Even more frustrating: making bias tape. The machine would be really cool.; June 17, 2010 at 11:28 PM

jewchick said...: To simplify my life I could use a potty trainer. As in someone who will come potty train my daughter. Or a machine, whatever. Maybe a lightbulb over her head that will warn me that she's about to go. Or SOMETHING.; June 18, 2010 at 3:28 AM
