I'm feeling very into reducing, re-using, and recycling today.
I repaired a pair of work-out trousers this afternoon. They had holes in them, so I sewed the holes up and put a patch on where the fabric was wearing thin.
I also made my own facial cleanser, with honey, glycerine, and castile soap.
But my favorite project was the one I did for Edith. Sure, I could have made a kitchen scrubber when my Body Shop loofah bit the dust, but it was a lot of very pink fabric, and it was screaming "TUTU" to me. So I stripped some pretty pink elastic from an old nursing bra of mine, got out the sewing machine, wound a bobbin, threaded the machine, sewed a single seam, threaded the elastic, and now Edith is prancing around the house like a ballerina.
Also done today was a closet clear-out. I've bagged up a small grocery bag full to take to the charity shop and done some pre-emptive layering.
The project for tonight is to deep clean the kitchen and bathroom, then make some laundry powder.
Wow, for some reason I am feeling a bit organic supermom-ish. I'd better get some more stuff done before it wears off and I am back to being a slacker!
