Baby Lounge Pants, Part Two

I cut out two additional pairs of baby lounge pants for Sawyer a month ago. It's taken me this long to actually sew them. Obviously it was not a priority. It became a necessity when I realized Sawyer didn't have any clean shirts. Sew or do laundry? Hmmm. I think I'll sew.

I love the flannel on the right. Squirrels and acorns. They are killing me! They look Japanese to me.

[And before you think that I don't do laundry, I do plenty of laundry every day. And I am almost always caught up on laundry. It's just that I still have some leftover Dreft baby detergent and I'm using that for most of Sawyer's clothes. (His dark corduroy pants and jeans go in with our clothes, so I didn't realize I had clean pants and no clean shirts to match.)]



On Sunday afternoon it was so windy that a large limb from our neighbor's tree cracked and broke off. Thankfully it missed both of our houses and my neighbor who had just walked under the tree a few seconds before it happened. The top of the tree branch is caught in one of our trees and I have the tree to thank for our windows staying intact. Carter was petrified to sleep that night, as his second-floor bedroom window is right next to where this took place and it was still so windy that night.

1. I NEED a pair of flannel PJ bottoms made out of that squirrel fabric. I so love it!

2. You're almost always caught up on laundry????? I don't remember the last time I was "caught up"!

3. You sure are lucky that your tree protected your house. That must have been scary!

Love the little outfits, so cute!

Glad the tree didn't hit any homes or people. We have huge trees around our house and dh is always worrying about them falling on the house, but I can't bear to cut them down, they are so beautiful.

sorry about the weather, it is gonna be 70 degrees here today : ) Of course, in July we will be dying with 100 degree heat and 95% humidity LOL

And I am gonna pretend I didn't read that you are usually caught up on your laundry........lalalalalala

Hmm... Can I sew today instead of laundry? Sounds like a great idea.

Yikes about the tree!

Oh too funny, I actually had some of that squirrel fabric too! :) I used it on the back of a couple of scarves. Love the cute little outfits! (And I cannot imagine how often you have to do laundry with that many kids!)

Lera,
I am glad no one got hurt by the tree falling! I Love Sawyer's outfits. Gina has many lounge sets made by mommy, but so far I have only made Adler onsies! I am not sure why I haven't made him pants yet! I can't say I don't have the time, because you manage to do it all with your family. Let's just say I haven't learned to manage my time well enough yet :) Again you are truly an inspiration :)!

Love those cute outfits you keep making for Sawyer.

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
