Little White Flowers


I was just weeding my herb garden and these little white flowers were everywhere. I thought they were weeds, so I started to pull them. I soon discovered that they were attached to bulbs. Oops!

Does anyone have any idea what they are? They are tiny and fragrant. (I didn't plant anything there ...)

We have them all over our yard too (KS). They're called "star of bethlehem" :)

Cute! I have no clue what they are, but they're only "weeds" if you don't want them. ;)

We have them. I think a nice bird dropped it off for us just like my raspberries.

We have them in our yard--until I find them and nuke them. They spread like wildfire and will soon choke out everything in their path if left alone. Those little bulbs just keep spreading and spreading and spreading . . . . .

Hi Lera,
We spoke a few months ago about the term WIP, not sure if you remember... being new to blogging, I commented on your comment via my own blog so am not sure if you ever saw it. I just wanted to say sorry for the confusion and thank you for answering my question :)
My blog has slowly taken shape and I'm now learning all the right ways of doing this :)
Greetings from London!

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 ...
