KtLizbet said...: The Bias tape machine looks incredible. I would love one. Jaime, I'm right with you on the laundry folding machine. Laundry is my most hated chore of all and with a Three year old and a 9 month old I am swamped with it. Wouldn't life be grand if there was a machine where I could just dump all of my laundry into and it came out the other side washed, Dried, and folded (Heavenly!). Is the entry closed July 9th at midnight? It says June.; June 10, 2010 at 12:12 PM
Joanna said...: I would love a machine that cuts out sewing patterns. I hate cutting them out, it takes so long! Maybe they should sell already cut patterns, I would totally buy them!; June 10, 2010 at 12:23 PM
Jaime said...: thanks for the catch KtLizbet i made the change!; June 10, 2010 at 12:24 PM
Katie said...: I need an invention that cleans the bathroom. This is a task that I really seem to hate and put off until absolutely necessary. The rest of the house cleaning energizing, but bathroom cleaning is a soul-sucking endeavor at my house.

Thanks for the giveaway!; June 10, 2010 at 12:24 PM
Deidre said...: I like the pre cut pattern idea. Cutting patterns stink. Love this bias tape machine. I got it on my Amazon wish list.; June 10, 2010 at 12:25 PM
Boss said...: I want a robot that will teach my kids to put their own things away. Failing that, I want a robot to put the kids' stuff away; June 10, 2010 at 12:25 PM
caycecol said...: i'd like a photographer on staff - i feel like i experience so much of my kids lives from behind the camera instead of enjoying the moments. the pix are priceless, but...

i NEED this machine! me + bias tape = rad projects.; June 10, 2010 at 12:25 PM
Unknown said...: Ohh! How cool is that?!? It sure would make MY life simpler. That, plus a remote robot vacuum cleaner thingy to suck up all the cheerios and mega blocks my son leaves on the floor.; June 10, 2010 at 12:26 PM
Christina said...: I agree about the laundry thing, but I would also like something that does all of my four girls hair for church on Sunday mornings so I don't have to stress about that.; June 10, 2010 at 12:27 PM
Christina said...: I follow your blog!; June 10, 2010 at 12:27 PM

Dirkey said...: I would love to have a machine that does both my hated chores; the dreaded cat litter and laundry (although not at the same time). Any machine that can do that, I'd pay a pretty penny for!
Would LOVE to win this!!; June 10, 2010 at 12:30 PM
Angela said...: My life would be simplier if I had a money tree! But for now, I will settle for a free bias tape maker. :); June 10, 2010 at 12:30 PM
Dirkey said...: Also I follow your blog; June 10, 2010 at 12:30 PM
Unknown said...: I just had a baby boy and clothes organization (my own) is my top priority. Somehow my husbands' and my own laundry never quite make it to the closet where there are plenty of hangers and a dresser. Perhaps I need to make the closet a beautiful place too. Then I'll actually want to open the doors! My husband and I have worked hard to make the rest of the house beautiful and liveable, but our own bedroom is pure chaos. I'd like a genie or fairy of some kind to come and clean it up. Once a place is clean, decorating and organizing it is a cinch... it's that cleaning part that gets me down. :) As part of that organization, part of the bedroom will become a project area in which I'd LOVE the Bias Tape Maker. I added it on Amazon a while ago after reading your blog about its glory. :) I need to make some good baby boys' clothes...; June 10, 2010 at 12:31 PM
Kathya said...: please!!!pick me, pick me!!!

Melissa (Punkin Threads) said...: I follow you blog! It's one of my favs!; June 10, 2010 at 12:35 PM
Anonymous said...: Oh I would love to have a bias tape maker. Right now, I need childbirth simplified. I was due 3 days ago, but he is taking his sweet time. I would like to program in a specific date and time for the contractions to start and then for him to be born like 30 minutes later with little to no pain. :) haha I can dream, right?; June 10, 2010 at 12:36 PM
Mitzi's Crafty said...: If I had a robot that could do my job, then I could be free to craft it up all day! A bias tape maker could help me really utilize that little free time I have. Fingers crossed!; June 10, 2010 at 12:36 PM
jill said...: I don't mind at all doing laundry or even folding laundry, but the putting it all away has me procrastinating days and days. I have a magical machine that is usually unmotivated as well, my children--so perhaps a fairy godmother would do just the trick! Thanks for the opportunity to chime in and enter for a chance to win!; June 10, 2010 at 12:36 PM

Melissa @ Honeybee Vintage said...: I would LOVE to win one of these!

I would say that I don't like switching the laundry from the washer to the dryer...weird right? Anyways, I have always wanted to invent a basket that fits in the washer and is removable so that I can dump all the wet clothes at once into the dryer....I bet there is even something like that out there...I just cant afford it:); June 10, 2010 at 12:38 PM
sb said...: I need a dishwasher that loads itself. I don't know why, but dishes always end up piling in the sink instead of being loaded as we go, so I'm stuck with a full sink until I work up the motivation to touch the whole batch of nasty dishes.; June 10, 2010 at 12:38 PM
Agnes Wong said...: The bias tape maker looks awesome! I really need to simplify housework, cooking and laundry so I can have more time sewing....or perhaps making bias tape by the yard? ;); June 10, 2010 at 12:39 PM
Jenine Isawa said...: Great giveaway! I would invent a washer and dryer that would just a one step laundry machine. I would just put the laundry in and soap. The machine would wash and automatically dry. Then it would magically transfer all the clothes to their proper dresser drawers and closets.; June 10, 2010 at 12:39 PM

Ashley said...: I'm 13 weeks pregnant, and my husband and I are desperately trying to finish our basement so we can move the things in the spare bedroom down there and create a lovely nursery upstairs....only things keep getting worse. We found severe termite damage in our house, which has delayed everything! I would simply like a simple device that can fix the termite damage and continue finishing our basement, so that I am not a hugely pregnant woman trying to finish a nursery!!! Whew. I need to go lay down now...

Thank you Prudent Baby and Simplicity for letting me blow off a little steam! With the time consuming house situation, a bias tape maker could make sewing little baby items easier and faster!!!!; June 10, 2010 at 12:45 PM
Amy said...: I would like a machine that turns my wet clothes (straight from the washing machine) right side out... I hate having to stick my arm halfway down those cold, wet, sleeves and pant legs.

Me said...: So, if we are using our imaginations and not limiting ourselves to reality...I want a machinge that would enable me to do my chores and daily mundane things in super speed thus leaving me with loads of extra time to truly spend quality time with my children. It would give me enough time to do all those wonderfully enriching activities I want to do with my kids but never get around to. Not to mention possibly doing something crafty and fun for myself more often with out the loss sleep time.; June 10, 2010 at 12:47 PM
elle's mom said...: i'd like a robot wife, just like the jetsons had. she could do all the things the husband & i would rather not do, freeing my time to sew & play with the fam.

so, yeh. a robot wife for sure.; June 10, 2010 at 12:48 PM
Jennifer said...: I would love a device that would magically suck up all dog hair before it even falls to the ground. We have a 95-lb german shepherd, a beagle, and a kitty, so we are always battling pet hair! We do the combing, the brushing, the daily sweeps around the house, but it is still the bane of our (or maybe just my) existence, haha.

Great giveaway! I hope I win!; June 10, 2010 at 12:48 PM

Danelle said...: I would love to have a machine that unloads the dishwasher for me. Even though it's such an easy task, it's one that I always avoid until the last minute, as in, it's time to cook dinner, the sink is full of dishes that can't go in the dishwasher b/c it's still clean, & I need room & dishes/bowls, utensils to prepare & cook dinner!; June 10, 2010 at 12:56 PM
Kristen said...: I need help with clutter! So many things find their way into my house and onto my counters (or any flat surface) and make themselves at home. Maybe I need a house with no flat surfaces.

Anonymous said...: I am pregnant and need a way to tan my back and the back of my legs when I am at the pool. Having a belly makes it impossible to lay on my stomach on those pool chairs. I would love to see a pool chair that has a little sliding door that opens so your belly can hang through, and then of course some sort of inflatable tube underneath that your belly can rest on.
I love getting some vitamin D but hate being tan on the front and white on the back!; June 10, 2010 at 1:09 PM

Unknown said...: Oh this is perfect - I just figured out how to use bias tape, making you girls easy shirred dress! My desk needs to be simplified. I would like someone from HGTV to pop on by and make it functional, cute and somehow move everything so that my 18 month old can't get to it. Just a small task.; June 10, 2010 at 1:11 PM
Sew on & Sew on said...: I would LOVE to have one of those!!! If I don't win, I think I'm gonna take part of my smartphone fund and buy one!

I wish there were some device/method to keep my four-month-old's pacifer in her mouth. As I'm reading all the comments, she's fighting a nap, and spitting out the paci to wake herself up. I've probably gotten up 10 times already!!! Shhh ... she's finally asleep; June 10, 2010 at 1:11 PM

EG said...: My bonus room needs simplifying! We have a ping-pong table up there, but it's covered in sewing supplies and giftwrap. We should sell the ping-pong table but I'd have to CLEAN it first.

mama said...: I would love to win this!
I am 34 weeks pregnant with baby #4 and would love a "squatter". I need a device to do all the squatting and bending that has become difficult. Until this fabulous device is invented I will continue to use my 3 and 5 year olds.
Thanks.

Anonymous said...: I would LOVE to win this bias tape maker! Something that I wish would make my life easier... would be something that would cut my fabric patterns for me for sewing. I absolutely LOVE sewing, but kind of dread the cutting pattern part unfortunately b/c I just went to get to the sewing! Thanks for a great giveaway!!

Abby S.I. said...: Something to make my life more simple. Mmmm? Well my mother always taught me to wash and iron all my fabric before I cut my pattern. I don't do it because I would never get anything made. So I would love to have a machine that washed, dried and ironed all my yards and yards of fabric for me head of time. :); June 10, 2010 at 2:22 PM
