recycle bugs
Today we made some bugs out of our recycling. M and I made the two bigger ones and then M made the little one all by herself. She even cut out the wings and tied the yarn herself! She is getting so independent. I felt bad today because she spent most of the time watching [...]

not paper napkins
Oops I keep losing my words! WordPress is good at auto saving. Our cloth dinner napkins were getting ratty-looking so I made some new ones. 19″ flannel squares should do the trick.
Maybe the title of this post should be “how to fill up blank space with redundant pictures because you have nothing to say.” (Does [...]

chloe toes
I couldn’t remember if I had posted about these or not, but after taking a look I guess I forgot! These were finished before our big trip back to Washington to visit my parents. It’s kind of sad but I suppose these medium covers are the last of the diapers I will need for E-chan. [...]

FFTY
We get a box like this delivered to our door every Wednesday from Farm Fresh To You, an organic farm in Capay, California. It has taken me a few months of trial and error to see which box works for us, but I finally decided on the small box ($21.50) to be delivered every week. [...]

doll cradles
I came across this youtube video the other day. M was watching with me and said she wanted to make one. She really enjoyed it and then had to make one for her little friend too. They are made from oatmeal canisters and then covered with fabric (and lots of tacky glue). It was a [...]

clean sink
I found out that I can watch old episodes of “How Clean Is Your House?” on youtube! I am so excited because it is my absolute favorite show. All the episodes are great and usually have good outcomes with the occasional ungrateful slob. Kim and Aggie always give tips on *natchurel* cleaners, which is always [...]

39 weeks
Hello! Umm no baby yet but I have sort of gotten over being so anxious. The ob said diabetic babies usually come early so I was all excited, but for now it seems to like being in there. It also doesn’t help that I feel like I am going into labor almost every single night–cramping, [...]

reuseable produce bags
Carrie suggested I use muslin for baby blankets, and I think I will do just that! AND, I found another reason to buy a bolt!! I always use cloth bags at the grocery store, but can’t seem to get around using the thin plastic bags for produce and fruit at the farmers’ market. Check these [...]
