I changed the name of my blog. I thought i was labeling myself or what i had to write about so i changed it because somedays i don’t feel crafty or green and that is not what i am all about just parts of it. I used 23 Teacups because my mom gave me her collection that she has had since i was little (i think they were her mom’s) and i remember her using them at luncheons back when ladies did that. I think they mostly drank coffee but that didn’t sound as good. Every cup is different and unique and beautiful. I like old things so it seemed like a good idea. I will try and photograph some too.

 

Green clean real clean? February 12, 2009

I don’t know if anyone else has this problem or challenge but i think that my husband thinks i am just doing all this green stuff to be trendy or maybe i am just kooky. He was cleaning something up the other day in my little boy’s bathroom (thank you for doing that) and asked me where the real cleaners are! He had my vinegar and water, my castille soap and baking soda cleaner right there! I think he wanted bleach because to quote him “bleach clean smells real clean” – WHAT!!!! I cannot stand the smell of bleach and only use it spareingly these days. I am really trying to break the habit and it was a little alarming to know that the person i live with doesn’t really believe in what i am trying to do. I did not run for the bleach but let him use the gentler cleaners and they seemed to work fine. I wonder if there are others out there whose family members don’t really believe that we need to switch to kinder gentler to the earth cleaners and lifestyles?
