Make Your Own Washable Floor Wipes/Pads

I love my floor mop. I only have 2 washable pads. I found a five pack or large microfiber cloths for $5 at Walgreen's.

I folded it in thirds. (photo 1)

I zig-zag stitched all four sides. (photo 2)

I straight stitched to divide into four sections. (photo 3) This is very important to prevent pad rolling-up during use.

Put it on and use as usual. (photo 4)

Up-cycle old shirts

These are good to have around for emergencies. They are also excellent to make for babies in third world countries. I will post information on donations later.

This is a great use of old sweaters made of natural fibers.

Chocolate Melting pots????

I am trying to decide which chocolate melting pot to buy. Should I get the one with one pot and lots of extras? Should I buy another brand that has two pots? Have you used one and what did you think?

Aprons as hostess gifts

I made these for the hostesses of my daughter's bridal shower.

I loved making the patchwork. Mixing fabrics is so much fun.

Good lesson for beginning beadders. This can be used in a lot of ways that are not shown in the video. How have you used it?

I love tutorials with video. Sometimes patterns are so vague that you don't really know what to do.

I made the Jr. Bridesmaids' dresses, flowergirls' dresses and the ringbearer outfit. Thanks to my mother for helping me with the hems and pinning. I also made the ringbearer pillow. Will post later.
