Good for me and good for the planet

Sometimes someone comes into your life and you don’t know all of the influences that that person will have on you.

Sometimes a special someone will make you want to change your ways.

This has happened to me. I want to use less paper towel.

My beau and I use paper towels entirely differently. I use them often, he does not. I’m also a parent which totally adds a layer of spills, splatters and other instances requiring absorption. I may have a bit of a paper towel problem.

People can change though, and I have decided to join team cloth napkin.

I love colors though. I derive inappropriate joy from the presence of colors, lots of them, in my life. (Think Blossom, Punky  Brewster, and Denise Huxtable.)

So, I decided to sew some napkins.

I already had some cotton hanging around from some other projects. I also picked up some fat quarters at the fabric store.  A few hours later, I lost every excuse to overuse the paper products.

Now, if only I had made this decision before I had bought a 8 pack of paper towel at the store…
