The one thing I have taken care of this week is a solution to our sand box problem. Our neighborhood has a cat that roams outside and well...leaves us presents in our sandbox. I have been wondering what to make and I finally settled on an easy fabric cover for the sandbox. I bought an inexpensive outdoor tablecloth from Target and cut it to fit the play set. After sewing the seams I added grommets. I will then add little hooks to the sides of the sandbox to hook the grommets and keep the cover tight. I read a tip that if you tip over a small bucket in the center under the cover the rainwater will not pool. I plan to do that too. Hopefully this will deter my feline friend!

Alyson, great solution for the kitty presents & cute, too!
Great photo of your little helper, too. Hi big guy and to your other helper, too!
I am so excited that I'm your winner. I'm going to retreat into my sewing room and finish my current projects so I can start working with this when it arrives. Thank you.
I am going to Target ... ! I love the stripes and have been looking for something like that to cover my outdoor chair cushions! :) You're so smart. Great idea.
