Spring is in the Air

Spring is springing!

After our snow melted, I noticed the snowdrops in bloom.
And a daffodil peeking out.
And my new spring bag in Amy Butler fabric is finished. (If you sew it, spring will come.)
And another bag because bag #1 didn't turn out too hot.
It's supposed to be 70 degrees today! Hope your day has some spring in it.

What? The pink bag didn't turn out well? You can't tell from the photos - both bags look great!
Amen to spring! I'm so glad that it's here!!!

i'm so jealous of your snow drops. i planted a bunch of them one year and they came up that next spring. the following year only one or two came up and now we only get some of the leaves, no snow drops.

damn martha stewart bulbs.

I'm excited about it being spring in Maryland too! Im going to enjoy today because it looks like this weekend won't be as nice. Those bags look great too.

I'm wondering what you thought of the pattern? I have it and haven't decided whether or not to try it. Is the size something that is practical for a mom? They are so cute! But the last thing I need is a bag I won't use.

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
