What Weekend?

It really didn't feel like a weekend. I didn't go anywhere, except to the post office on Saturday and I took out the trash on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, I was getting ready for church when Joe announced Spenser still had massive diarrhea and shouldn't go to church. So I stayed home with Spenser and Sawyer.

I cleaned a little on Saturday morning, but my house is a mess again now anyway. That's what happens when you have a house of kids. I wanted to mop my kitchen floor on Saturday, but didn't get a chance, which is actually a good thing. It seems everyone was extra clumsy yesterday. It's at the top of my to-do list this morning.

I did manage to squeeze in a little bit of sewing time. I sewed a bib for Sawyer on Saturday night. I cut out the pieces a few weeks ago. It's left over from my skirt. The back is white chenille (with cotton batting in between). I embroidered a red "S" on the front in red just to jazz it up a bit.

When I was adding the snap, I busted the cute little button. See how it's cracked? Oh well. It will be on the back of his neck and I'll try not to notice it.

Poor Spencer - and poor you! I hope everyone gets back to 100% this week.

And I've got bibs on the brain - my co-worker is expecting and I can't stop thinking about things to make for her. :)

Oh I hope Spenser is better soon.

What a cute bib! One of the few times I've tried those kind of snaps I cracked them too.

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

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 ...
