I finally got hold of my fabric and spent most of the on my cloth diaper project. I was too excited that I let Donald check if the package has arrived from Davao so after dropping Ella to school, he went straight to LBC. He said their reason of not being able to deliver it yesterday is valid because their courier van goes straight to San Franscisco, a one hour drive past here, bringing all the packages that are supposed to be dropped here. I don’t get the point of wasting gas driving past here and bringing the packages back. 
Anyway, I am happy that I can continue making diapers for Emmanuel yet I really could not understand why I always get short with it when I have carefully measured the length that I needed putting a half meter allowance. It happened again! I am such a moron. 
So instead of whining, I make use of the scraps again. Read more… »
We accomplished a quite huge task yesterday….that is doing the laundry. 
I say it’s huge because if you check my previous posts, the last time we did the laundry was last January 16. 
Blame it to our crazy weather. Just imagine 10 full loads of laundry in the washer not to mention the whites which I hand washed for four hours. We spent almost a week this month in Davao and I did the laundry there but it didn’t help lessen the pile after pile of dirty clothes. It was yesterday that I heard Donald regret about not getting the automatic machine. He promised that if he did earn from blogging, he would get me one. Maybe here we really need it since Mr. Sun always plays hide and seek with us but if we move back in my hometown where the weather is nicer, we could be fine with our washer. So today, most of the clothes are already dry after we gave ourselves some exercise of running outside to gather them when it drizzles and putting them back on the lines when the sun shows up.
Ella’s doing better and better during her wake up calls. She would not complain anymore about being sleepy and she’s really enjoying the three days in a week that they will spend the entire day at school. I asked her to pose for me in the camera before heading out the door. Read more… »
Yeah, since this is my blog, I have the right to do so. I just want you to see what has become of the stacks of fabric I had last night.
I planned on having 6 different prints and I already did an exact calculation before we left yesterday of the fabric that I needed. But then, I had no idea how it slipped off my mind and only got three printed flannels (which adds to my first two prints) so I was just able to make 5 cloth diapers in different prints. When buying baby clothes, I wanted it to be by half a dozen or a dozen and that is also the same with sewing. I wanted it to be even. That’s an issue with me so I think I will be getting another print when we go to Davao.
