I Might Sew


For a few months now, Amandajean and I have talked about making the Habitual kimono and the "Miss Chris" shirt. Although I've cut out both patterns, I haven't selected fabric. (Why is that the hardest part lately?) And so they sit.

But today I declare "I might sew!"

I might sew as in, maybe tomorrow I might sew. Not today. Today Spenser has an appointment with the pediatric cardiologist, just like all my boys have in the past. There was a heart murmur detected at her last well checkup and we need to have her checked out. We are blessed that we have an excellent pediatric cardiologist. He is a Hopkins doctor who travels around Maryland. In essence, he comes to us instead of us going to him in Baltimore. One Friday a month he visits my little part of Maryland. After today, he will have checked all six of them. I'm hoping it's nothing, but a few of the boys have a history with problems.

Do you have any Works-in-Progress for this weekend? (I'd like to make this, too, soon.)

Good morning to you. That looks really cute. I made a doll dress and apron yesterday. I'll put it on my blog today. Weekends are spent with my grandchildren. But I plan on getting them in the woods to play while I work.

Good luck with the sewing and the cardiologist. We have one of those too! My son actually had a coarctation of the aorta when he was born. Also a hole and an undersized ventricle flap. Nice huh. But he is doing fantastic. Amazing really. We see the doc twice a year, and soon maybe only every 8 months.
I hope to sew a few door stops and a few pimped out binky bags for my sons bed.

Those are both great little patterns. Good luck choosing your fabric and I can't wait to see your finished products. I'm hoping to work on a quilt top and to make some cloth napkins this weekend. Happy Sewing!

Hey, I have a heart murmur, too. :) Nothing serious though. I just have to take antibiotics before the dentist. Weird. Good luck with that appt.

Anyway, hurrah for the shirt! I hope you get to whipping one or two up this weekend. It's so stinking easy. Can't wait to see...have fun.

Looks like some fun sewing in the works. That kimono is darling. Maybe my little one isn't too big for a shirt like that for the summer...

I do have a WIP. I started on a Roxy dress for DD's birthday, then changed my mind coz it was too big and I couldn't be bothered unpicking it.

DS had a heart murmur too and was checked out by a specialist. Thank goodness it is nothing to be concerned about.

Too funny... I have the same pattern (that I also bought after seeing it over at MissChris's place) ready to go. But there it sits - cut out but unsewn. I need to get cracking!

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
