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.

This machine is so cool and already on my Amazon wishlist. Dinner time needs simplifying in my life right. We try to cook and eat as a family so we don't have much time before the baby goes down for the night. It's so hectic. So, I'd love a dinner-making machine (and I already have a crock pot - I want a machine with more variety!).

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...

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:)

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.

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!!!!

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!

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. Then we have to figure out how to get it out of the house. I think it has to be disassembled.
