Yay for "Long" Weekends

Baby in his outfit.

A new toilet tank. (Now, if only it will flush better!)
Sippy-cup drinking and hair twirling.
Jack's "bubble butt." (Yes, that pillow is in his pajama bottoms. And he's sleeping.)

Sprinkler fun.

Pool fun.S'mores for some.
Graham crackers for others.
A very familiar scene in our house: Sawyer trying to steal Spenser's sippy cup.
Another familiar scene: Sawyer upset because Spenser grabbed it before him.
We had a great weekend. It seemed extra long. I guess it may be because Joe came home around noon on Friday, after being out of town. It gave us a jump start to a fabulous, family-fun-filled weekend.

I have just stumbled upon your blog and I think it is fantastic. I love reading about your sewing (I am a sewing addict but don't seem to find enough time for it) and I love reading about your lovely family too.

Sawyer looks cute in his new stripes and spots outfit. I also love the last photo - he looks like he could be crying or laughing.

I miss smores. Maybe we will have to have some for dessert. Who says you need kids to enjoy smores!

I totally recant my stripes/dot opinion (I can change it, right?!). Sawyer is too cute in that little outfit!

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 ...
