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.

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 ...
