More Bibs and Some Superheroes

I finally finished the bibs I had started a while back. All they really needed were straps, vintage buttons, and ribbon. The ribbon had to be secured via handsewing, so that's why I procrastinated. But, sans sewing machine, I have plenty of time to do the things I've been putting off.


And here are the two superheroes of the day.

Mason, the green power ranger, and Jack the red power ranger/spiderman combo. Mason has been obsessed with the color green lately (and the #3, because he is three, and the letter M because it is the first letter of his name, and all things Superman). I was happy he finally took off some of his Superman clothing to wear something "new."

Today is our last morning to go duckpin bowling. We've been going every Thursday morning at 10:00 to play. Taylor and Carter play for free with report cards (I just have to pay for shoe rental). So the total cost for the four boys to play one game each week is only $11.

Wow -- $11 is getting of cheap! Smart lady.

Ah, yes. Costumes. Griffin is currently pouring over a recent catalog we received.

And the bibs turned out so lovely!

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.

Cloth Napkins

Image
Happy Earth Day! Last year I made a bunch of cloth napkins using the rolled hem feature of my serger. And, while we used them a lot in the beginning, I kind of forgot about them and paper napkins crept back into our lives. (Although, I must admit that paper are better for cleaning up spilled lemonade and for packing in my boys' lunches. I'm afraid I'd never see them again if they were in a lunchbox.) I am trying to be more mindful of our waste. I find myself asking, "Can I reuse, reduce, recycle, or repurpose this?" about every thing. I recently discovered our town has a receptacle just for paper recycling. That makes me giddy. We get tons of papers from school, so now I can load it up and drop them off at town hall. So, in honor of Earth Day, I am giving away this set of six cloth napkins. They are made from thrifted, vintage (therefore repurposed) sheets that are leftovers from various projects. If you'd like a chance to win them, please leave a comment on ...
