How to Organize Your Auto Insurance Papers

March 4, 2015 by Shellie Wilson

car-organization-insurance-papers

I haven’t bothered organizing my Auto insurance and Auto registration papers into one place before. I didn’t really think of it until we needed them all at once when my husband (thank goodness it was not me) reversed out of our drive-away with a car door open and side swiped our other car at the same time. We were left with 2 cars damaged and one un-driveable as the door hung off. We had to find all the insurance papers whilst still kicking ourselves in the head as such a silly (expensive) mistake.  I am not sure why I couldn’t stick it up with Duct tape but apparently the insurance wouldn’t cover me for that? What! Don’t they know how versatile duct tape is?

Meantime we have been waiting for 3 weeks for the door to come in and be put back onto the car. We have one week to go till it is back from the repair shop. When that one comes back the other car will go in. We didn’t have hire car cover in our insurance policy which means I have been having to take my husband to the train station as part of the morning school run. Not really a major issue but he is always late getting ready which means the kids get late for school.

By late I mean before the bell but with only minutes to spare. I like to be early when I arrive somewhere to allow for natural disasters, broken down cars, attacks by UFO’s and the driving over a 4 inch chisel as we experienced last week in the last car standing which sat at the tyre repair store for 48 hours (whole other story).

We are having bad run with cars at the moment but at least now I can find all my insurance papers in one-spot. Yeah!

Designer Spotlight: Non Stop Stitch

Non Stop Stitch is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a dizzying quantity and variety of cross stitch patterns. 

They tend to the cute/whimsical and colorful, with lots of flowers, animals, fantasy designs and some classic Ukraine inspired motifs. 

How about this super sweet Ukrainian boy and girl design? With folk inspired clothing and adorable animals, these characters can be stitched together on one piece or separately. The images were designed by Nadiia Nagorna. The boy measures 50 by 96 and uses 22 colors and blends, while the girl is 62 by 94 stitches and uses 27 colors and blends. 

Both projects involve full and half cross stitches, as well as backstitch and French knots. They are classified as intermediate patterns. 

The largest category on the site is Christmas patterns, with more than 200 options, ranging from cute animals to ornaments, Santas, snowmen and more. There are also plenty of patterns for both Easter and Halloween if you like seasonal stitches. 

In addition you’ll find lots of animal designs, from bears and foxes to cats and dogs, mice and elephants, birds, bunnies and bugs. And extensive flowers and plants section includes pretty bouquet cross stitch patterns, stitched wreaths and seasonal scenes, as well as food cross stitch patterns, like a swag of chili peppers, mushrooms on a postage stamp, persimmons and cherries. 

The fantasy and magic category leans heavy on whimsy with cute dragons, a one-eyed monster with dragonfly wings, a mermaid listening to music, and a green bearded river spirit covered in lily pads. 

And that’s not even to mention other sections like food and drinks, houses and landscapes, lighthouses, people/babies/dolls and more. There’s so much to choose from there’s no way to really categorize it all, so why don’t you head over to Non Stop Stitch and do some scrolling. I’d love to hear if you make one of their patterns!
