Like much of the United States, Colorado is experiencing an abnormal amount of February snow. We have been cooped up. I believed we passed cabin fever a few days back, and are now in full blown rabid-cabin-plague-fever.

We have run out of activities..... we already demolished the master bathroom and completely renovated it. We cleaned out closets, dressers, and under the beds. We have even gone as far as cleaning out the laundry room. While I am sure you would love all the morbid details of what I found during these cleaning episodes, I do have some pride.
While the forecast continues to predict more snow in the coming week, here is what I did this afternoon. Cloth napkins.
Yes, cloth napkins.

Why would I make cloth napkins? Sit down and let Shanny tell you why. We figure over here at the Urban Improv Farm that every little bit counts. After looking over our new recycling company's list of what they will take, we learned that our most tossed out bit of trash in the kitchen was napkins and paper towels- (having a compost, and chickens we don't have that much kitchen waste) and while they are made out of paper, they are not recyclable. I haven't made cloth paper towels yet, but they are on the list. Since there are no trips to the craft store in the near future, I used fabric scraps from the scrap pile. I cut them in 8x8 squares, and sewed two pieces together. We love them. I have made several stacks before, but it was a good winter's day craft, and if you have kids interested in sewing, its a great started project! Just some scrapes and straight sewing!
