An Appliqueing Fool

I've been bitten. By the applique bug. I can't stop myself. I think it's an illness. Is there any antidote or vaccination or intervention for this?


On Saturday I made another outfit for Sawyer. I used a thrifted sheet that I picked up last week. I think it looks very springy. When I took him to the doctors on Monday, the doctor said he looked like a leprechaun. Hmmm. Maybe that's not a good thing. Oops! Sorry, little leprechaun man.


And here's a better shot of his pants.
And then I embellished shirts for Jack (lion) and Mason (alien in a spaceship) both using my fat quarter. They have been begging for them, so I had some quiet sit-down crafting time.

Unfortunately, I see more in my horizon. I just picked up another pack of onesies and found some cool fabric in my stash ... And so it continues.

they look great!

(and there's no cure for the applique bug. i'm kinda hoping that when you do it ENOUGH it just gets out of your system - but it hasn't for me yet!)

These outfits are awfully cute. So much so, that I feel the need to make some. What pattern do you use for the pants? Have you ever made little matching skirts for the girls? Way cute, Lera :)

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
