WIP Friday

Here are some pj bottoms that I started before my sewing machine croaked (a former WIP). Something has gone awry. Despite the fact that this is the same pattern that I used for the other two, capri-length pj bottoms, the waist is not matching up ... at all ... by a few inches.
These are supposed to be full-length (33" inseam, see, I told you I had long legs!) and the legs are fine. I used a thrifted sheet and the hem of the sheet for the hem of the pants.
These will have to wait until my friend, Christy, can help diagnose the problem and come up with a solution. (I have a limited amount of sheet left ...) And until I get my new machine.


This weekend we are going "camping." Don't gasp. I know you're thinking I'm nuts to go camping when I'm so pregnant. Truth be told, we have reserved a deluxe cabin, complete with kitchenette and bathroom!!!! (and of course, air-conditioning!!) So, I'm packing up some crochet stuff in my tote and some embroidery things in a tin. I'm thinking more Stitchettes.


And Mason, again, dressed in the green power ranger costume, complete with a lion head. Despite the incredibly hot and humid day yesterday, he insisted on wearing this.

I'm a tried and true Girl Scout, but that kind of camping sounds great to me!

And is it the pants that are wonky around the waist... or you? Ha!

Have a great time with your lovely family!

I'm loving the stitchettes.

And you certainly have the correct philosophy with that camping business.

(Look at all those comments! Wow!)

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.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
