I have been sewing up a storm lately, with the classes I'm taking as well as other projects. It feels really good. I'll post my projects from the classes later.
I have been wanting to get a little more sustainable in our house and use less chemicals in our cleaning products. And besides the health factor, sometimes I get to the end of the day and I want something tangible to hold onto. Something I can say, there - I did that. Stay-at-home-parenting makes me really happy but it can feel a bit like you're in a tunnel sometimes. So. I spend naptime and evenings in the sewing room. (And sometimes awake time too, but that results in it looking like a bomb went off in the sewing room thanks to my dear toddler). Thanks to this tutorial, I made my own reusable swiffers, some for dusting out of flannel and some out of terry. I use a vinegar/water combo, squirt it on the floor and swiff away.

And I just can't stop making baby towels. A friend just had her second little girl. I made her first girl a towel a when she was born in 2010 so I made the newest one a towel and some additional washcloths for the older one.
