Babies, Babies Everywhere

I think just about everyone I know is having a baby. Last week I received an invitation to a baby shower for the end of the month. I had already planned on making something for the mother-to-be because she is a friend of mine. She had told me that she really didn't like pink for a girl and that she was painting the nursery green. I have been searching for a nice green fabric, when I realized I had this repro print in my stash. I paired it with some tiny yellow gingham and loved the combination.

Of course it's a baby kimono and a onesie. What else would I make? I'm thinking she'll also get a diaper/wipe case, just like last week.

And, just for the record, when I found out that Spenser was a girl after four boys, I welcomed pink. I wanted the world to know that I finally had a girl. She loves pink now, which only means that she'll be dressed all in black one day. Just like her mama used to.

Very cute Lera! I love the green for a little girl. I think when I was little pink was my colour, I'll have to check with DianNe.

And those are adorable. :)

I like the green for a little girl:) I'm not a big pink fan... I think it has to do with the pink rose wallpaper that was in my bedroom when I was little:)

Hi! I just found your blog and I'm lovin' it. :) I would love, love, love it if you'd post a tutorial on how you make those baby kimono's. I am just smitten with them! I think I've seen all of the ones you've posted and they're the cutest things ever! Is a tutorial completely out of the question?
BTW, I love the green/yellow floral/gingham combo. I think it's darling for a little girl!

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
