New item this week coming up on my etsy shop! I have been selling these for a while at craft shows and I have been making these for myself for even longer! They are reversible hair bands/head bands, which ever you call them! I love them for not so great hair days or for wearing around the house. They can also help to make a nice accessory! They fit almost any size head, due to the elastic in the back! Did I mention that they are going to come at an introductory price? Keep your eyes open this week coming up! I love them and I think that they will be a hit!

New Swiffer Wet Jet Refill In My Etsy Store!!!

I am so excited to finally have my wet jet reusable cloths in my etsy store now! I have been making these for well over a year, but am just now putting them on my etsy store! They take a lot more time to create than the other swiffer products that I make! Check them out and let me know what you think! I can't wait for 8 more days and then I can finally start working on building more inventory for my etsy store! School's almost out! Hooray!!! I think that I might need to have a school's out sale! I love summer!!!

Green Mother's Day!!!

On Friday at school, I was telling my students what I received for Mother's Day! They couldn't help but laugh when I told them that I received a kitchen composting can and finally a real composter! I have been composting for over a year, but my composter was basically a garbage can with holes cut into it for air! Not the greatest by any means! However, now I have the garden gourmet! It is awesome! I actually get excited about throwing the old friuts and veggies into it! Well, at least I am excited! I have attached a pic of what the beast looks like!

My upcycled doggie collar

My somewhat green weekend project! I have been looking at my doggie Izzy's old collar and have been pretty ashamed of it! I was cute back in the day (you know about 2 years ago!) but these days, it has been looking pretty shabby! The hearts have been coming off of it and it's a darker shade of pink, if you know what I mean! Here lies the problem though! As my husband points out we should just go to Walmart and buy another! However, I hate to throw it away only to make more junk and buy another wonderful product from my guess-China! Therefore, after I totally disassembled it, I had my little guy look through my stash of fabric and pick out one. Then, I covered the collar with the fabric and I think that it looks better than new! Have a looksy and the pics! It is an after and then a before! Kinda became backwards!

Green cleaning!!

I absolutely hated spending money on cleaning stuff, just to throw it away! It didn't really make any sense to me that cleaning something meant that garbage would have to be made! While I am sure that lots of people would yell at me to just use a broom, mop and dustpan, I really think that a Swiffer does a better job! It picks up those hairball looking things that a broom just sweeps around the floor! Therefore, I made my own swiffer products. While I am sure that the company does not enjoy people doing this (because they make a lot of money off of refills) I have been disposable-free for about a year~ and proud of it! I make a swiffer hand duster, one for the swiffer (regular style) duster and the wet jet! I have been using the same ones for about a year and they have plenty of life left in them! I hate to admit it but I actually enjoy cleaning with these new products!

Super fab. book marks

As you may already know, I teach 3rd grade to around 22 students! (it changes too often!) Out of all of those students only 6 read all of the minutes that they were supposed to during the school year! I wanted to show them how awesome that I think that they are, so I bought them some crafty stuff and I actually made them bookmarks! They seem to love them, at least I hope so! The best part is that I used up some of my scraps that were screaming out to be used again! Hooray! Of course I had to put their names on them so that I didn't have to hear about who stole what or where it could be!

Birthday Bug Crafting!

I know, I know, you probably shouldn't have a bug birthday party in the middle of winter! I guess snowflakes, sled riding, or my not so favorites to choose from at Walmart (my choices there were so blah- Spiderman, Transformers, and Mickey Mouse). However, my little guy is in love with all creepy/crawly/wiggly things! (and it turns out that a lot of his little friends are too!) I found some awesome fabric with fun looking insects on it and made some "crayon/coloring wallets" as a thank you for all of the kids trudging out in the middle of a freezing rain storm to come to my son's birthday party! My friend Savannah and I made the boxes to look like boxes that would have bugs living in them and filled them with shredded paper. Then, the sewing frenzy began with all of the crayon wallets! I made the little girls out of a cuter butterfly fabric! Well, here they are for the viewing! Let me know what you think!!
