Cleaning Solution

So i'm not a cleaning enthusiast, by any means. But I do enjoy a clean house, and lately I've been interested in using cleaning methods and tools that are less harsh, smelly, and chemically based. And one of the solutions i'm most interested in lately is vinegar! It's been great in the sinks, on windows and glass, and as I read in one of the blogs I follow...it's great as a rinse aid in the dishwasher!

That same blogger has started making her own laundry detergent and dishwashing detergent...and she said her dishes come out sparkling clean and spotless when she uses vinegar...so I think i'll try that out. I'm not quite ambitious enough to make my own cleaning agents, but that's ok. Small steps, right?

Hubby and I also need to purchase a new vacuum cleaner. Our current one sucks...well, I guess it doesn't suck enough, actually. We are considering purchasing a dyson, but i'm reluctant because they are sooooo darn expensive! But, I've heard that they work beautifully, so i'm tempted to go for it. Anybody out there have any vacuum purchase recommendations?

So glad it's the weekend for me...I've got lots to do this weekend. I'm starting a little sewing group and next weekend we'll have our first night, so I want to get things set up. I'm so excited! Here's a few things I want to make:
-cape for Annika
-ribbon cube and receiving blanket set (from a tute I found online)
-cloth baby book
-capri and eyelet shirt set for A
-diaper holder and changing mat for a gift
-toys (stuffed bears, penguin, etc)
-sock monkey
That's my list of things I want to make right now. Let's see how I do now!

On a work note...I've been assigned to a project...and I have the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that my 4 day work week still be drawing to a close i'm the near future. That saddens me. I really enjoy my fridays at home with my little monkey. Ah well, such is life, I suppose. I'll be thankful for the time I did get with get, and I'll just enjoy whatever time I have left as a part-time employee.

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday!!
