Rainbow Legs

The weather is getting chillier, but my girl still loves to wear her skirts. Just like her mama. When I saw Sarah's post on leg warmers, I knew it was the thing for Spenser.

I used a $3 pair of socks from Walmart (with pompoms!) and the idea from this tutorial and in minutes (really, just minutes) Spenser was sporting a new pair of Rainbow Legs. I am trying not to call them "BablyLegs," because, as she reminds me often, she is not a baby.


And these are just some of the outtakes. I love this girl more and more everyday. I suppose she just might need a pair to go with her Halloween tutu.

I just made some of these for Gina and Adler, but Spencer's are ROCKIN'! I think I need to go to walmart! I just used some I got on clearance at Target last year (I was going to make some sock monkeys, but these were WAY easier* LOL)!
*loved more too I think.

She is so adorable.
This is a great idea. Sometimes I wish my girls were little again so I could make these kinds of things for them. Ragan would probably wear them now but when you have legs that go on for days, I don't think I could find a long enough pair....:(
I am looking forward to seeing the ones you make to go with her costume!

O.m.g. those faces are killing me.
Today was crazy sock day for Aidin at school. She went with striped knee socks and capris. WaHoo!

Love 'em! I made some of these for BBJ (and all of her friends!!) last year, but I'm having an AWFUL time this year finding socks that will fit her! Even adult socks just don't seem long enough to go much past her knees. (?!) I know you said you found your socks at WalMart, but...where??

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.

Cloth Napkins

Image
Happy Earth Day! Last year I made a bunch of cloth napkins using the rolled hem feature of my serger. And, while we used them a lot in the beginning, I kind of forgot about them and paper napkins crept back into our lives. (Although, I must admit that paper are better for cleaning up spilled lemonade and for packing in my boys' lunches. I'm afraid I'd never see them again if they were in a lunchbox.) I am trying to be more mindful of our waste. I find myself asking, "Can I reuse, reduce, recycle, or repurpose this?" about every thing. I recently discovered our town has a receptacle just for paper recycling. That makes me giddy. We get tons of papers from school, so now I can load it up and drop them off at town hall. So, in honor of Earth Day, I am giving away this set of six cloth napkins. They are made from thrifted, vintage (therefore repurposed) sheets that are leftovers from various projects. If you'd like a chance to win them, please leave a comment on ...
