Easter WIPs


I have been working on the children's Easter outfits a little here and a little there. It's going to be a polka-dotty Easter this year. Blue for boys. Purple for girls. Everyone has something new to wear as of right now. Except for me. I also have a few accessories in mind I'd like to sew for Spenser if I have time.


Here's a peek at the back of Spenser's Easter dress.

Happy Easter!

you're so good. we're not doing anything special for easter - not even clothes (first time EVER!). my reasoning is that the gorgeous clothes they received last year still fits them!

good thing, too - i'm way sick. yuck.

Beautiful! I'm so loving polka dots at the moment, would you believe I even bought a dotty teapot the other month! I can't wait to see them in their special Easter outfits.

For once I didn't make my 2 anything this year. We have nobig plans and both of them are saying they have enough jumpers and cardi's. HMPH! At least I have inundated them with bunnies thet'll teach them. LOL

Well done for taking the trouble and time. I do wonder if you sleep with the amount of crafting you manage. You're seriously good!

Every year for Easter, Hali gets a polka-dottted dress. We love polka-dots. This year was admittedly difficult to carry out that tradition, but the Osh Kosh outlet a couple towns over had a cute one that I actually liked and figured there wouldn't be a dozen other little girls wearing. SO I even went and got Jeremy and I green Easter outfits to match. How cute and ridiculous are we?!

Can't wait to see the photos!

I love polka dots too. I have a meter of one fabric that I really like and I have yet to cut into it though, really, polka dot fabrics are quite easy to find. Just the hoarder in me makes me very reluctant to use the fabric :)

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
