Another One


I'm sorry. Are you sick of these yet? Apparently, I'm not, so bear with me.

Sawyer needs spring/summer clothes. He is growing so quickly that he's running out of clothes for the proper season. (I think he weighed 18 pounds at his 6-month checkup two weeks ago. He's a big, breastfed boy.) I've been thinking that the pants can always be cut into shorts later for summer, if needed. I used that wonderful Michael Miller Dotty Dot from Karyn. See? Now I'm not afraid to cut it.

Some time this week, I'm going to generically applique one onesie to match a variety of his outfits to keep in his diaper bag. On Sunday we were only at church for 1/2 hour when he had a diaper explosion and I had no other clothes for him. (Sadly I sound like an inexperienced mother, don't I?)

Cute stuff! Don't stop. You're inspiring me to do the same for my own wee one.

Oh, hey - that makes me feel better! My son had never needed a full change of clothes in the nursery...until he did. I was so embarrassed to carry him out in just a diaper and undershirt; learned my lesson, though!

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

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 ...
