A Crown and Some Goodies

Good news: I think the barfy germs are out of the house. Jack did not get sick at all on Monday. I kept him home, just in case. But, by midday, I was wishing I had sent him to school. :-)

On Friday afternoon I interfaced the pieces to Mason's crown. On Saturday late afternoon I sewed it for him. He has barely taken it off since. In fact, he wore it to church on Sunday.

And, look! I used my fat quarter (the green polka dot). One project down. Several more to go!
Yesterday I received this lovely package from Kirsten. I was her 1,000th commenter. She sent a yummy, handmade, gold and gray brooch; a rocket applique; a rocket appliqued bib; and some very cool vintage buttons (swoon!). Now I have to decide who will get the rocket applique. I know the boys will be fighting over it. (They don't know about it yet.) And here is a closeup of this cute rocket. The bib is absolutely adorable. I'm almost afraid to put it on my very spit-uppy baby. (At least I can feel confident because I am the stain master.) Thank you, Kirsten. I love it all!

Blogger is acting up for me and didn't want to post this morning.

Darn that blogger! I kept the rocket for myself! It looks great on a green t-shirt that I already had. I think tomorrow will be warm enough to wear it. And that bib! Too cute!

I am so laughing at the thought of Mason wearing his crown to church. Nice FQ usage, chiqua!

I can see the playdate now... Mason in his crown, Kirsten's heffalump carrying kid, Lori's son with a train and Laura's with Lego.

I've been trying to make a birthday crown for my mother in laws 60th. I'm on attempt #3.

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
