WIP and a Bag

So I decided to post another WIP (Work in Progress) picture today because nothing else is happening.
From the left: a floral sheet and new "vintage" fabric for more pj bottoms;
strawberry flannel for a needle roll (actually a crochet hook roll); and
floral duckcloth for a new bag (which was cut and interfaced prior to photo).

Okay. I've had the bag cut out for over a week and I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. When Spenser was in the highchair (and I was chatting with Christy on the phone), I ironed on the interfacing. As soon as Spenser took her nap, I got straight to work. It's from the Amy Butler pattern "In Town Bags." (And let me just say that I've purchased all three of my Amy Butler patterns and a Favorite Things "Cute Skirts" pattern from ebay because they were cheaper. I'm still waiting to receive my skirt pattern.)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.
