Coffee Cozy

-
I started this coffee cozy (with hand appliquéd initial because I picked some finicky fabric to use....hahah)  a while back for a friend and I didn't finish it because somehow, it just wasn't going to be big enough.  Well I was thinking the other day....I really like the cozies that Laura at along for the ride makes and sells on her etsy shop.  They were the inspiration for my passport covers on my etsy page (I needed a good way of keeping my passport closed, so my boarding passes wouldn't fall out!)  I decided that since the cozy I was making my friend was just a smidgen too small for a coffee cup, I'd take out the last seam I'd sewn and attempt to make it as cute as Laura's!

(Don't hate on the bad photography skills this morning...I took the pictures pretty soon after I woke up...and my contacts weren't in...and I don't photograph well with glasses...so I had to take them off and see what happened hahahahaha)


PS I have most definitely gotten my money's worth out of that reusable au bon pain cup! We have an au bon pain on campus (that I might visit more frequently this semester since I have class near it) and they had these cups for sale for about 3 or 4 dollars, and when you bought it the first time, you got a free cup of coffee.  it came with a punch card, that after you refilled it 5 or 6 times, you got another free cup of coffee...and as you can see from the worn out scratchiness around the bottom, it's made it into my car's cupholder quite a few times for those trips to Birmingham and back!! :)  Not many cups fit in my cupholder for some reason, and this is one of two or three that I have that do! :)

    Thank ya Thank ya. :)

    I made one for myself eons ago...it's just a plain ol' cardboard one covered with some beautiful Michael Miller Eiffel Tower fabric. The poor thing has coffee stains on it now, but it makes it look loved! :) My friend saw mine and thought it was cool, so I decided to make her one too! :)

    We LOVE this embellishment! Creative and stylish. Glad you're enjoying the travel mug - remember that you're entitled to the refill price on all cups of coffee. We're linking to this post on FB!

    Best,
    Renee, Au Bon Pain

    How cute! What a good idea! I hadn't thought about making a coffee cozy with my extra material...

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
