Strawberry Skirt #2


After I made my strawberry skirt, Spenser immediately began asking where her strawberry skirt was. I had a little sewing time on Saturday afternoon and decided it was time.

I used the twirly skirt tutorial again. It makes a cute skirt, although it's a little time consuming and fiddly. I paired the strawberries with, what else? Red polka dots. (It was between dots and red gingham.)

I LOVE it! Spenser will look so adorable twirling around in it! Gina loves when we have matching things, I know this won't last long. I need my husband to upload my pics so I can post the princessy things made over the weekend! I really am computer illiterate ... ugh!

My daughter is into strawberries too. That skirt is great. I hope she loves it. Are you in bright sunshine too? We've had 2 lovely days so far, so the children have the paddling pool out in the garden.

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
