It's Coffee Time

Happy Tuesday Everyone! woke up to a very cloudy and overcast morning and figured it was going to be a rainy day. But, now the sun is peeking out so maybe it will be a nice day after alI. The other day I was looking through my stash of yarn and came across some pretty skeins of 100% cotton. I don't remember why I bought these and had totally forgotten what project I might have had in mind. So, I decided to crochet myself some dishcloths which are reuseable and since they're a nice size will also double as cleaning or dusting cloths. I've only made a couple so far and I think these will come in handy and will save on the amount of paper towels I use for cleaning. Of course I won't not use paper towels but with the price of everything these days having a reusable cloth for quick cleanups will offset expenses. Every penny saved is a help these days. Plus, having a project to work on keeps me out of trouble I have the usual things to do around the house today but right now I'm having my breakfast (grapes and a few slices of cheese) and of course a mug of coffee. Time to see what's going on in the myLot world

That is a really great idea. I still have and use some crocheted dusting and cleaning 'rags' that my mother made decades ago. I used to really like to use the flannel (fold your own) diapers that I used on our son, but my hubs mistook them for garbage one day and threw them out, so her rags are appreciated. It is a sunny and hot day here today. I raised my morning coffee to you in celebration after I had my scope done this morning. I was thinking of you.

@Marilynda1225 You sure can tell our age when say how great the old diapers were, we aren't talking about the paper diapers like we used when we went out with our children. For how many are in our landfills, it is hard to believe that they are really only a generation old.

That's a good idea, the fewer paper products we buy means fewer trees need to be cut down

And we DO know you tend to find trouble. It sounds like a fun project. I like seeing projects that are actually practical.

I've crocheting some of these washcloths and they are certainly very handy.

They are very handy and I like that they can be used for multiple things and washable

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong. But we're not in mid-Autumn. In fact, we have a record high temperature of 36C. It's so hot that I have to stay inside turning on the a/c almost the whole day.

Being at an Autumn festival in such hot weather doesn't sound like fun.
