Works in Progress



Thank you notes from last week's baby shower. My goal is to have them mailed before the baby is born. (And because I'm kind of anal, I won't take anything out of the bags to be washed until I've written the thank-you notes because I want to make sure I am properly thanking someone for the correct gift!) At least I've started them ...



The above picture is Spenser's room before we added the toddler bed to her room. Her room is all girly and feminine (which it should be for the only girl in the house ... well, besides me).

Here is her room now:



Same wall. Moved her old crib over for the new baby. (My adjoining bedroom door is to the right.)

I finished the bunting to make it a little more masculine for the boy baby in this all-pink room.

And, please ignore the baby laundry piled in the crib. It is another WIP for me today. This all has been washed (there's more to be done), it's just ready to be put into the dresser that Joe painted on Monday. (But it first needs some fabric drawer liners!)

The flag/bunting looks great! You did a nice job. It adds a lot to the room. Boyish AND babyish.

Looks good. Is Spenser adapting to the new big girl bed or is she still sleeping on the floor? Have fun putting away all that baby laundry!

Cute bunting! How has Spenser adjusted to her new bed? My Alex still hasn't gotten the swing of it yet.
Can you believe that I still have thank you notes to send out? I managed to get everything out for those gifts that were given before Ava was born, but it's the ones from after her birth that still in limbo. I'm so bad!

Your bunting looks fab - your little boy will be lucky to enter such a lovely family.

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
