Sometimes someone comes into your life and you don’t know all of the influences that that person will have on you.<\/p>\n

Sometimes a special someone will make you want to change your ways.<\/p>\n

This has happened to me. I want to use less paper towel.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

People can change though, and\u00a0I have decided to join team cloth napkin.<\/p>\n

So, I decided to sew<\/a> some napkins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I already had some cotton hanging around from some other projects. I also picked up some fat quarters at the fabric store. \u00a0A few hours later, I lost every excuse to overuse the paper products.<\/p>\n
