Mmmmm....




Look at the lovely pin cushion that I received from Capello! She made a ton of these and I am a lucky recipient. It is absolutely amazing and even more incredible in person! It is very well constructed.

And, she also sent a seam ripper (which she said is symbolic of her sewing style -- hee hee hee, I know that feeling!) and an organic bar of lavender and blueberry chocolate. Yummo! Thank you, Laura!




And here is little miss. She has been a naughty little thing since she turned two. She has been playing in my makeup and smearing it all over her body, the bathroom vanity, etc (more than once). My boys never played in my makeup before. I guess she's trying to be like me. What a compliment!

Oh boy, do I know about that. My kids love to get into my make up, especially my boy. He has a fondness for fingernail polish. Lucky me.

My son used to like to get into my makeup when he was little. Then one day he did it at a friends house and he tried to flush the foundation bottle down the toilet. We ended up having to pay for a plumber. that was many years ago and now I think it is funny!Back then? Not so funny!

Love that pincushion!

My boys got into the diaper ointment. And what's with smearing things all over their chests? We didn't teach them that!

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 ...
