Not Going Anywhere Yet!



This is Mason's art project from preschool yesterday. He told Joe that there are three dots for his nose. Two for his nose. The third for a boogie. Boys. (I swear I do not teach these boys these things! Boys will be boys. And Spenser and I are out-numbered! I'll have a lifetime of dirty bathrooms and boogie-art.)




And here I am yesterday at my non-stress test. The baby is fine. And, of course I had no contractions during the hour-long test, so they sent me on my way.

(I asked Joe yesterday if my face looked fat and he replied, "yes, but so is the rest of you!" He was joking (about the latter part), of course!!! But if I could have gotten up, I would have kicked him!)

My WIP for today is to finally applique these onesies. I've gathered up all my blue "boy" fabric and cut out some paper templates. Now I have to finish them. Everyday I think I will get around to them. But I don't. Everyday I wind up cleaning some more. Maybe the baby is just waiting for some new onesies before he's born?!? I better get to them.

And, I will update any "news" this weekend. Don't expect anything exciting.

I love how you can tell which dot is the booger, as it is hanging from the nose. Nice.

You're in trouble Lera... another dramatic punk on your hands. I totally feel for ya.

Fat, schmat! You're adorable! And boogie art! Someday you'll look back and wonder why they don't make boogie art anymore.

Joe, Joe, Joe. What are we thinking here? Let me reiterate (as I often do with my own Hubby): Wives are never fat, old, dumb or wrong. Repeat. Absorb.

Lera - you look amazing and incredibly unstrssed for being (per Emily) a mommy oven.

Waiting impatiently for news...

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 ...
