Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths
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.

And with all those dotty fabrics I do NOT see the exclusive "club fabric" (unless I skimmed and missed it).
DianNe - Don't ask about the exclusive club fabric. It's nothing.
May I ask if these are your recent purchases/acquisitions or from stashing over a long period of time....?
And of course, what are you gonna make out of them!
Dots! You either love them or love love them! I am somewhere in between!
Gina watches over my shoulder as I read blogs, and I have been meaning to tell you that everytime your blog opens she says she is sad for your son. She hates that he is crying in the picture. I love your picture as it seems to capture childhood perfectly, she on the otherhand empathizes with whatever your little one must have been feeling that day, too cute!
Where did all the ones in the middle come from? Those are great for quilts.
I have a few yards each of black with white dots, white with black dots and black with pink dots. And they can be yours (happily!) if you are interested.
Just say the word and they'll be in the mail on their way to your doorstep.
Please?
ahem.
