WIP Friday


Today's Work in Progress are two more wee bibs. The off-white antique-y one will probably be edged in the same color. The blue one will be edged in white (with white ribbon).

I have to work from the same pattern because my friend, Heidi, borrowed my bib pattern book and she is on vacation for the next 2 weeks (maybe less now).

Joe is back in town now, so my crocheting may be slowing down. I was crocheting a lot at night after the children went to bed.

I have a birthday present to make and deliver today for a friend. Maybe a tote? And a tissue pouch? Maybe an apron? I need to decide quickly.



And here is Spenser wearing a red-foam clown nose that Joe's parents gave the children. It is basically a red foam ball with a slit halfway through for the nose. I didn't like wearing it because it felt like it was closing my nostrils too much. And I'm partially claustrophobic.

Oy, I can't hardly stand it when the kids put something in my face, let alone *on* my face.

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 ...
