Chicken Boots

We are getting ready to move our chickens outdoors. We have been working on our coop. We decided to enclose a part of our existing 130+ year-old coop for our birds (photos to come).

I decided if I'm going to be cleaning chicken poop, I'm still going to look halfway decent. When I found these plaid rain boots, I knew it would be a fun way to clean chicken poop. Well, maybe not fun. Is there a fun way to clean chicken poop? So far I don't seem to be enjoying it.

It's alot easier to clean it up when they are outside. Plus, you don't have to do it as often. Great boots!

Hey, never doubt the power of cute boots! I got some black and white polka dotted ones with hot pink liners to cheer me up when I'm walking the dog in the rain. Paired with my lime green raincoat, it's QUITE the fashion statement.

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 ...
