No Sewing Here

I wish I had some sewing to show you today. But I don't. I have spent the past few days (and nights) working on a slideshow DVD for a Young Women's church activity.

Tonight we are having "Bride's Night," complete with guest speakers (a young married couple), a special musical number, and wedding cake. We came up with the idea of making a DVD of all the girls in our program and putting their pictures to music. So, these are our "wedding favors." 30 in all.

It was time consuming, but, alas, they are finished. It was worth the effort. And, I hope, at least the girls will think it is worth it, too.

Oh my goodness! I hope the YW know how much effort you've put in for them. And you're raising the standard so next year will have to be impressive too. :) It's crazy how much time and energy church can take. I'm just the Secretary in Primary (and the pianist) and it takes a lot of time.

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 ...
