Housewife MacGyver: Wrapping up the Domestic Sphere

We've had a great month domestically! A huge thanks to all our guests:

• Gwen's Resourceful Stain Removal
  
• Amy's Natural Cleaning Tricks
  
• Keira's Happy Laundry Days!
  
• The Damsel's Bag o' Laundry Tricks
  
• Polly and her Modern Mending {and a giveaway}

How has your domestic month gone? I will be honest... mine was less than I had hoped. We spent my husband's spring break car shopping instead of cleaning and then it's been rainy (and snowy!) about two out of every three days since then... so we spent the sunny days playing instead of doing chores like washing our nasty windows. :)

I do have one project that I'm still working on that I hope to be able to share with you on Monday... In the meantime, here are some awesome domestically-inclined projects to keep you busy while I'm busy with mine. :) And don't forget to come enter the giveaway for the dino applique!

Head over to Maker Mama to learn about the 8 green cleaning essentials -- and in addition to being "green", these green cleaners are also chee-ep! :)

Fancy up your cleaning gloves with Tea Rose Home and then make a "handy" flower vase with Mrs. Green (at the CSI Club)

Whip up some crocheted cotton dish scrubbers from Design*Sponge and a clean/dirty dishwasher sign by A Recovering Craft Hoarder

 

Make a reusable Swiffer pad and Swiffer duster cloths with Sew Much Ado

Head over to The Trendy Treehouse for some printable, dry-erasable laundry room signs and then hit Blueprint Crafts for this hand wash/delicates laundry bag by Adventures in Dressmaking

Try out a version of a stay-put kitchen towel with Pin. Sew. Press. (left) or Sassy Sanctuary (right).

And don't forget your apron!

can't leave the wee ones out...

But what apron would MacGyver wear?

One of these of course!

(because we know MacGyver would have an iPhone!)

OR pleated with built-in hotpads from The Mother Huddle

Have a great weekend!
