Three Down

30+ to go...

Now, please tell me:

Do you like the snowman with the white thread? Or ...

The black thread which resembles coal buttons?

(Do you think they will "get" it? I know you do because you are crafters. Do you think they will?)

Black, definitely. It looks like black buttons on a real snowman.

Since the buttons don't match from piece to piece, it's nice to have a mix of threads too I think :) They're adorable!

I guess I'm in the minority, 'cuz I like the white. The black seems a little too distracting to me.

Just one girl's opinion, though. :)

I like mixing the threads up, depending on the buttons you are using. And yes, they will get it. :) Darling.

Black thread! That's a really cute idea, Lera.

If you had a four-hole button for the head, it could have two coal eyes, too :)

Love the black, although I'd do orange on the top on if you have thread showing there, to be a carrot nose!

I like them both. But I'm leaning toward black thread. These are darling. How do you do it all. I specifically went to your blog today because I'm feeling so busy I could drown. How do you do it? I'm in awe.

I love them both - what a creative idea. I think the black but maybe some of both? "They'll" get it, for sure.

It's interesting that nearly everyone has said black. I think that if you hadn't told me you thought the black looked like buttons, I would go immediately for white.

(And actually, even though you told me the black was supposed to be buttons, I still say white.)

Even before you said the buttons part I thought they looked naked with the white. I prefer the black. Cute, cute, too!

I like the white thread. I, too, find the black thread distracting.

Those snowmen are just so gorgeous! I'm pretty sure "they'll" get it. I personally like the white thread, but I don't think it really matters which you do. Such a brilliant idea! You are amazing!

To make it difficult. Black thread on the middle and white on the bottom. They will totally get it.

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
