Love to Invent!

Welcome to my "Love to Invent" blog!  I'm so excited to have a place where I can share with all of you the fun little crafty, inventy (is that a word?) things I enjoy to create by hand and also use on a daily basis.  I think up simple inventions  whenever I come across a small hurdle in my every day life...like a cold squeeze pop, or messy counters, or having to carry a ton of things to the pool.  I'll think about how I can make my life easier?  I'll brainstorm a while, then get somewhat of an idea and I get excited to create my new product.  I'll go to the hardware store, or the fabric store, take out a glue gun, or my sewing machine and make something that will solve these everyday hurdles.  And, I find that they really do make my life easier! 

This is my first blog and I hope that you will enjoy seeing the items that I have made.  In some instances I may create a video (my daughter will LOVE to record me) showing you how you can make these items yourself! 

So bear with me as I am new to blogging but check back regularly to see what I have to share!

Sincerely,
Emmalie


When I was little my family would spend our summer vacations in Maine at my grandparent's.  Grandma and Grandpa were from Canada and mostly spoke french but could speak some English to us kiddos.  Down the street there was a quaint (and I believe it's still there) general store that had one of those freeze boxes with popscicles, ice cream cones, ice cream sandwiches etc...and freeze pops...that my grandpa named "Freezie Squeezies" TM.  He'd give us kids a quarter and tell us to go get us some 'Freezie Squeezies' up at the store.  The blue was my favorite kind :-).  So, now that I have children of my own who enjoy freeze pops I came up with the idea of a freeze pop cover to keep their little fingers and hands from freezing and I named them "Freezie Squeezies" TM.  I made my first "Freezie Squeezie" last summer and here is one that I made the other day.
