Homemade "Vicks Vapor shower disks"
Regardless, Vicks makes these things and I'm sure they're super expensive for something that is just going to wash down your drain.
You know where I'm going with this, right?
I made them myself.
The idea started a few weeks ago when my sweet little nephew Parker came down with Croup for like the 1,438th time. My sister mentioned that they were taking long steamy showers with him to try to clear out his lungs. My brain started churning and I thought "surely there can be something they could add to the shower to help him even more". Homemade Vicks Vapor shower disk thingies were born.
And they couldn't be any simpler.
Sarah's Homemade Vicks Shower Disk Thingies
-Baking soda
-Essential oils: eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender.
-Muffin tin
-Muffin liners
1) Add baking soda to a mixing bowl. Updated to add - I don't really measure. Maybe 2-3 cups?
2) Slowly add water until you've made a thick paste. Updated to add: add just a little water a time. You'll want the mix to feel like putty.
3) Add 15 drops of each essential oil.
4) Spoon in to a muffin tin, and let sit out for 12-18 hours. You can also bake these, but I just left them out overnight.
5) Pop these suckers out of the paper liner, plop it in your shower, and let the essential oils steam away your stuffy nose. Edited to add: put them anywhere on the floor of the shower; it doesn't matter where!
Added 4/7/12 - for anyone who is having issues with these being "crumbly", try using 1 cup of baking soda and 1/3 cup of water (plus maybe a few tbslp more) and baking for 20 minutes at 350. THEN add a few drops of each essential oils to the cooled "puck". That was a suggestion from a commenter and I tried it this morning with great success! I'm a quick shower taker (less than 5 min), and my "disk" was only about 1/3 gone at the end of the shower.
Additionally, I'm not a doctor (nor a butcher, baker, or candlestick maker), so if you have any medical conditions, contact a medical professional.
Added 10/2/12 - if you're not using a silicone muffin tin, remove the liners before the pan has completely cooled. And yes, you need to remove these from the liners in order to use. You can store these in an plastic container, mason jar, etc.
I've shared this over at: Fat Tuesday, Frugal Tip Tuesday, and Seasonal Celebrations Sunday.

Good to know I was just going to ask where to get the oils :)) does the brand matter?
DeleteIf you have a GNC local they carry these essential oils, or at least they did a year ago.

I would only use Young Living essential oils. They are therapeutic grade and not distilled using chemicals. If you'd like more information on this company,
ask me :-) There are lots of cheap oils that don't even compare! email me at email@example.com @Sunshine
I get my oils from auracacia.com. They're fantastic. If you have a local heath-food store, they usually carry them.- AnonymousApril 10, 2012 at 10:02 AM
actually, my upline has checked with New Aromatics and with therapeudic oils u can ingest them and you cannot ingest New Aromatics. Have used several oils and Young Living just is the best. No Comparison, U get what u pay for.
Delete Whole foods (if there is one in your area) caries just about every oil you could want. So will most health food & vitamin stores

Quick question, how do you store these? I would like to make them, then keep them on hand for when needed. My youngest son gets croup ALL the time. Do you put them in a baggy in the refrig?
Delete Storing them is simple, use a cool dry place and a paper lunch sack. I own a small handmade soap business and we make bath bombs that are similar. As for using them in the bath, I wouldn't suggest it. That is quite the high levels of oils to use in a single bath. Essential oils are wonderful but can be harsh on your skin in high amounts, Try this recipe for the bath, it is very similar the the bath bombs I make and sell and get lots of positive feedback about. The citric acid does cause a fizzing effect in the bath but most, especially children, enjoy it. http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/style/make-bath-bombs.htm
Wow, what a great idea! I could really use that right now as I am on the tail end of a nasty sinus infection (and when I wash my face the thing I do right after I dry it is blow my nose because you aren't the only one to be snotty afterwards!).

How much of baking soda and water do you use? thanks can't wait to try these they did stop making the others. Thanks for sharing this
ReplyDeleteRepliesI'm not what you call "someone who measures". It depends on how many you want to make. Start with a few cups of baking soda and then slowly add water until you've made yourself a nice thick putty.

Thanks I thought probably that is what I would do. Can't wait to try these thanks for sharing this great idea.
BRILLIANT! With 2 little boys...I am totally going to try this! : )
Hope @http://hopefuloneblog.blogspot.com/You are a genius. I find that a neti pot works great too, but definately not so smell-pretty as your homemade vapor therapy. Of course, it does feel a bit like drowning until you get accustomed to filling your sinuses with saline. Now I just snort it like cocaine so the pressure really breaks up the clogs, then I suck it like a loogy to the back of the throat and hack it all back up out of my mouth and into the sink. Then I reverse the process, in through my mouth, up through the throat and out the nose. Don't it sound FUN??!! Then I brush my teeth and tongue and even try to scrub my tonsils and throat a little. Finally, a rinse with mouthwash and somewhere in all of that a floss. It is a very sexy process. Definately going to add your remedy to the routine. Region Ten (Oklahoma/Texas) allergens, come at me, bro!
ReplyDeleteRepliesHere I am eating breakfast and totally finding myself turned on by your comment. LOL, I should have waited to open this post until a bit later!
I've never used a neti pot, but my aunt, sis, and friend swear by them.
Our allergies are super early this year. Blame a mild winter. Wishing you a low-snot season!You two are funny! I'm super duper excited for your disks!
DeleteBrandi, where EXACTLY do you live? I'm moving in next door, you are hilarious and we need to be friends.
Between my daughter's first yr of school and her bringing home every single sickness that someone gets to her little brother to horrible seasonal allergies I want to scream. When its not one its the other. Is the lavender necessary if so can it be replaced with something else? So far everything lavender I have come in contact with I have an allergic reaction. Honestly at this point I would be willing to suffer the rashes and migraines as long as it gets them to feel better. Momma up all night dealing with kiddos up all night does not make a happy house the following day.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThe lavender is just part of what is in Vicks, but if you have sensitivity to it, I'd definitely avoid it! My sister used lavender in a bath for her son and he had "yeasty balls" for months. Yikes! Some people are definitely sensitive to it.
If they made an Ambien or Tylenol PM essential oil I'd totally put a few drops of that in this for when my little guy is sick. :-D- AnonymousMarch 31, 2012 at 10:16 AM
You might want to google a famous essential oil blend called "Thieves Blend". (with a fascinating history connected with grave robbers who survived the black plague way back when...turned out they were the perfumers who worked with EO's...the other two groups who had higher statistics of survival were the leather workers who worked with EO's to tan leather, and those who lived in the lavender fields...lavender is very antibiotic/viral). It has 5 different EO's (not lavender) in a base oil, or water, that are extremely antibiotic / antiviral. I make it all the time in a small bottle with water to spray in the car (Everyone take a deep breath and get that into your lungs!) or in a bottle with a dropper to use as hand sanitizer. You can buy it online, but it's really expensive. I just make my own.
Delete You could replace the lavender EO with peppermint EO - it works great for relieving congestion! I use it in my homemade vapor rub along with the lavender, eucalyptus and rosemary EOs.

Thanks for the shower tab recipe! I can't wait to try it!
I want to respond to Melissa above who says she has a sensitivity to Lavender. I have never heard of anyone having a bad reaction from a lavender that is really and truly 100% pure oil from the flower of the plant. The problem is that most lavender on the market is 100% synthetic! Lavender is great for burns, but if you put a chemical based lavender on the burn it will make it much worse! The vast majority of the world's lavender oils come from France, but they are exporting much more of the oil then they are able to grow, which means that much of what is being exported is synthetic or altered in some way. I'm not trying to pick on France or lavender EO, the same goes for most of the other EOs on the market that come from different parts of the world. I'm picking on the industry in general. Often distillers will use the whole plant to get a higher yield, when only the flower (or some other part) is supposed to be used, and weeds are often harvested along with the plant and thrown in the mix. This completely changes the chemical makeup of the resulting oil, and any chemical pesticides, weeds, or other contaminants will become highly concentrated along with the EO during distillation so the resulting oil can actually be very harmful to people.
Even higher quality brands on the market that say they are 100% pure, have a musty, sticky, almost pungent smell. A truly 100% pure essential oil should smell clean, almost crisp, with no lingering chemical undertones.
Check out doTERRA's certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils (www.thrivewithdoterra.com) and you'll wonder why you never tried them before.
They are better than organic because not only are they guaranteed to be free from any chemicals synthetics or dilutants, but the right part of the plant is used, along with correct distillation methods, and the plants are sustainably harvested to ensure their health for the long-term. Plus, doTERRA has 10 year exclusive contracts with the growers around the world, so we can be sure that we won't experience fluctuations in price which so often happens in the industry. doTERRA's oils are the most pure and potent essential oils on the market today.
They are so pure they are safe to ingest!
Plus, they have a blend called OnGuard which has the same ingredients as the aforementioned 'thieves oil' (lemon swapped out for wild orange). It's a powerful immune booster, is very affordable, and you can make anti-bacterial hand spray with it that you can then spray in your mouth :)

I am also allergic to lavendar. When someone brings fresh lavendar into work I break out and get a migraine. Pure oil would not help given the plant is also a problem for me. So I just avoid it and am fine. Great recipe for the discs...I will be trying this!
Delete I'm allergic to lavender, as well. I am allergic to the plant itself, and anything with lavender scent. I definitely second the idea of using peppermint instead.
DeleteI'm also allergic to lavender and most other scented flowers. Gives me a terrible headache, almost migraine-like. I will definitely be trying this with peppermint instead!
DeleteWow...I thought I was the only one allergic to lavender. Sorry that the rest of you are as well, but nice to hear I'm not alone in this. It gives me migraines! I also have a strong sensitivity to patchouli...makes me very irritable and eventually moves over into severe headaches. I avoid both like the plague!
Love this recipe for the disks, though. I might try it w/ peppermint like someone suggested. thanks!
Yes! How thick is your paste? Does it thicken with time? And how would you recommend baking...I need some of these pronto for my kiddo!
ReplyDeleteRepliesI'm not what you call "someone who measures". It depends on how many you want to make. Start with a few cups of baking soda and then slowly add water until you've made yourself a nice thick putty.
Mine didn't thicken with time. I would bake at a low heat - probably 275ish and check on them every half hour. I've never baked mine, but I'm guessing it would probably take at least 1 hour.
how long do these last once there made? as my kids dont get sick often but would love to have these on stand by :)

This is BRILLIANT! Thank you so much! My first thought was...oh, I hope she's not using bees wax or oil because that will eventually coat and clog the pipes...and I wasn't sure what the base was...baking soda! Of course! I don't use chemical cleaners in my house so I buy baking soda by the case. I usually plop my kids when they're sick, in the tub with those same essential oils, but this is fabulous! Thank you!!!
ReplyDelete Thank you, thank you. Those shower disks aren't available in stores anymore. My pharmacist said they weren't popular enough... I'm pretty sure I bought them by the case with all of my sinus issues, but I guess that wasn't enough. Where do you store the ones waiting to be used?

http://laurasjourney2012.blogspot.com/In my neck of the woods (AZ) these are called Shower Soothers, but I haven't been able to find them lately. I love them and think you could use any essential oil that you like and use them, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT SICK! Sort of a fancy-schmancy, yummy way to shower for those of us that aren't thrilled about sitting in the tub. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much of a life saver you are!! I use to buy these at the store but they were so expensive but they were the only thing that use to help get me to sleep with my bad allergies and now with this cold I thought it was hopeless. I am making these first thing in the morning! Thank you so much you are a genius for coming up with this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could break these up and use them in the little tray on a cool mist vaporizor. Anyone tried this?
ReplyDeleteI found your blog while wandering around on facebook, someone had pinned this and shared it so I thought I would check it out. I am really enjoying your blog, thanks for sharing :D
ReplyDeleteI have a whole bottle of the vicks stuff that you're supposed to add to humidifiers.. I might try that instead...Next cold season i'll for sure look this up again!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, blessed baby Jesus, I could kiss you. I used to buy "Shower Soothers" - a tablet that you tossed in the shower - and I adored them. I have chronic sinus disease... and they helped soooo much. But I can't find them any more (the last I bought, I got off Amazon for a ridiculous amount of money), and I've been so sad and congested.
Then this comes along.
THANK YOU.- AnonymousApril 1, 2012 at 6:29 PM
They also make Vick's (and a generic brand) in a stick that looks like chap-stick. It is awesome for when you are on the go. It has a "protective cover" on it so you or your child can put it up or near their nose. Unbelievable how well it works and you don't go around smelling like Vapor Rub.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 1, 2012 at 7:53 PM
I just want to add that you should not use any kind of vicks vapor products for children under 2 unless the product specifically states that it can be used. I am a CMA and had recieved an email from the clinic saying that the vicks products can actually cause more mucous production and cause repiratpory distress in young children and infants due to smaller airways. I am not sure what ingredients they put in the vicks shower thingys or if these ingredients in yours will do the same but just wanted to make sure people were aware. Great idea though, now I have to buy the essential oils!!!
ReplyDelete Thank you thank you (a million times over) for taking the time to post this. I used to buy these tabs and they've been discontinued and I was so sad. I kept saying to myself "Self, you need to find time (I work full time, am enrolled in an MBA program, and am a single mother to two small girls) to figure out how to make those darn snot tablets!"
ReplyDeleteFirst, I just want to say how glad I am that I stumbled on your blog. I love you're writing. You sound just like my friends and myself.
Second, I'd like to point out that the only problems that were reported with using Vick's in children under 2 happens when parents apply the product directly under the child's nose. Nasal passages are more narrow in children. The improper use if Vick's causes an over-production of mucus which can be dangerous. In no way was it advised to discontinue use on kids. As a fellow medical professional, I'd advise the previous poster to research the topic for the most accurate of information. (End of soapbox)- MaggieApril 2, 2012 at 9:05 PM

Amazon sells them for a fair price. If you live by a Whole Foods or Central Market, I'd start there. I found mine at our local organic store. They were a bit pricey so I'll most likely order from Amazon from now on but I was impatient and ready to create! :)

Please don't go to whole foods. I used to get my oils there (a brand called aura cacia) and they say they are 100% pure, but have a musty, sticky, almost pungent smell. A truly 100% pure essential oil should smell clean, almost crisp, with no lingering chemical undertones. Now that I have been learning so much about essential oils, I would never put a brand like aura cacia on my skin or even diffuse it in the air. Most essential oils on the market are riddled with chemicals (pesticides, etc), made completely in a lab with synthetics, or have been diluted in some way.
Check out doTERRA's certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils (www.thrivewithdoterra.com) and you'll wonder why you never tried them before.

Do you know how long to bake them? I am an impatient creative soul and want to use them tonight in my shower. :) Thanks so much for the post also! I have a very tough (firefighter/cop) hubby who turns into a whinny baby when he gets a tiny cold. He often says "I think I'm dying....." Oh man. I could definitely use these for him.
ReplyDelete I'm pretty sure they have stopped making the Vicks shower things. They used to get really hot in when they got wet (like burn your fingers and toes hot). I was looking for them a few weeks ago when I couldn't shake the cold I got. I am soooo going to hold onto this and make these next time I get sick. Do you know how long they can be stored?
ReplyDeleteRepliesThey got hot? Weird!!!
The essential oils will start losing strength after awhile. Nothing will "go bad", but it won't be as "smelly" after a few months.The problems with baking them are that the heat makes the essential oils evaporate and can causes chemical changes in the oils as well, possibly making them less effective.

This looks like a great thing to try out for both of my kids who are having sinus issues. Has anyone tried to bake them? If so, what temp did you use and how long did it take?
Thanks! I did this tonight for my big baby *aka* husband. I baked them at 300 for an hour and they are definitely dry. Too dry almost. I'm not sure how the paper is supposed to come off but I imagine once you put it in hot water it'll soak off pretty easily. Maybe though since they're so dry, they'll stay "alive" longer in the shower than Becky's did.
ReplyDeleteI found this on pinterest and can't wait to make these! My husband and I were totally addicted to the Vicks shower soothers. Any time I go into a new pharmacy I look to see if I can find a knock off shower tablet...a few times I've lucked out and I actually have one box in my bathroom that I've been hording until I reallllllly need it. So glad I found your recipe! Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteWe got around to using the ones I baked tonight. They had no fragrance at all! I dissolved on in boiling water in a bowl and had hubby breathe over the bowl. Nothing... I ended up just putting a couple drops of each oil in the hot water. So I guess an hour at 300 is way too long. If anyone figures out the magic time/temp combo, I'd like to know!
ReplyDeleteI can't reply to individual comments for some reason right now.
For the person who had them dissolve super quickly, I had that issue with one of the batches I made. I think my issue was too much water in the mix, and putting them in a place in the shower where they got too much direct water.
I had more success making them with less water, and putting them on our little shelf in the shower.I was wondering if I could use the essential oils from Walmart? I don't like shopping online, so that resource is limited to Amazon, or driving 35-40mins to a shop that does carry them (twice as much as Walmart).....so, is that brand ok? This is awesome.
Also, have youu figured a life-span for them on how long they last?RepliesI'm sure you could. I'm not familiar with the brand they carry there, so I'm not sure how strong they are. You may need a few more drops if it is a weaker essential oil.
In terms of how long they last, it kind of depends on how you store them and the oil you use. They do lose strength as the oil evaporates over time.

has anyone given any thought to how these effect the shower drain? Are there any issues with the oils or the baking soda on the chrome parts or the drain?
ReplyDeleteReplies- AnonymousApril 5, 2012 at 10:16 AM
I'm no expert on this but this is how I would view it... Baking soda shouldn't pose any harm unless you decide to use one of these darling disks as a metal polisher before it dissolves. If you do decide to use in this manner, you will find scratches left behind on your shiny chrome surfaces, so, I would suggest just letting them dissolve. Baking soda is also widely used as a mild cleaner (for everything from your cheeks to counter tops), it washes away easily so it should not leave much of a residue. Rosemary and eucalyptus EOs are widely used in holistic cleaning products because of their anti- bactierial/microbial (either one or both, can't remember exactly) properties. All in all, these super disks not only would clean out the sinuses of suffering sweeties but would also serve as a mild cleanser for your bath tub bottom. They should be completely harmless to your pipes.
Delete Ditto to this. Baking soda is one of my favorite cleaners and is much more gentle on things than chemicals in store bought products.

Steam from running water never seemed to do much for my daughter's croup - the fastest and easiest remedy was always to bundle her up (if it was really cold - and she only ever got the croup in the winter) and step outside with her. The cool/damp night air almost always quickly helped soothe her croupy cough, and usually the sudden coldness against her face would help calm her down, and getting the crying to stop also helped ease the coughing....
That being said - these are really a genius idea - I'm all for making things cheaper/better on your own than putting money into the pockets of the big companies.... - AnonymousApril 5, 2012 at 10:42 AM
SOOOO excited I just squealed w/ delight at my desk when I found this. I loved and swore by the shower soothers that Sudafed used to make...now you have to buy them on the black market or ebay for $80/box of 3 because they're nowhere to be found around here.

Hi Sarah,
Just made a six pack of your disks for my 15 year old who has had a nasty cold for almost a week.. OTC products have not touched it... I will try them as soon as they dry...
Also I wanted to thank you for the trip down memory lane.. While making them the vicks smell reminded me of my mom taking care of me when I sick .. :)
Tricia Just out of curiosity, did you purchase or acquire some of the vicks ones just to see if your worked the same? I'm wondering because I've tried other products with not great results. I'm intrigued about the DIY stuff, but I'm trying to figure out the best approach. (Like if I were doing bookcases, I'd measure the similar ones at Ikea)
ReplyDeletewhen my seven year old son was a baby he had bad allergies and i would take a shower with one of the vicks shower soothers & put him in the bathroom in his bouncy seat so that he would get the steam & Vicks without it touching his skin - it was a life saver. I now have a 1 week old and am so glad to find this so that i can use it if needed with him since they dont sell the Vicks anymore (plus talk about a lot cheaper & i know what is in it which makes me & my pocket book feel better!!!) thanks a million! :)

Essential oils are very volatile and any heat at all evaporates them quickly. It might be better to make the baking soda "pucks" first, then douse them with the oils. I'd store them in an air-tight container too... Baking them with the oil in them will bake out the oil.
ReplyDelete Hi there- just found your blog, thanks to Pinterest. I'm falling in love with you very quickly. You and I seem like we could be besties. Maybe I'm moving too fast? Anyway, love your writing, love your topics, love your little birthday boy! BTW, it wasn't a dream you had. You did blow up pinterest and you are making tshirts for gangstas. But they are 3 year old ganstas, nobody very scary!
ReplyDeleteOk this might sound like the silliest question but before i make these i need to ask.... do you put all the oils in at once or one oil per 4 disks??? Sorry I just want to make sure. Love your blog. So want to make these for my brother for Easter :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea! I made some last night and I was excited to try them, but they are extremely crumbly. To the point where I can hardly get them into the shower without them falling apart. Did I do something wrong, or are they supposed to be this way? I even put them into the oven for a while on low heat, so they are bone-dry now. Do you have any tips on what else I might be able to add to make them more cohesive? Thanks!
ReplyDelete- RebeccaApril 6, 2012 at 1:32 PM
That is a wonderful idea. I bought them once when they were on a huge sale, but normally it is far more than I want to pay. Luckily baking soda is something I always have around and super-cheap.

IF you are looking for shower soothers and do not feel like making or have the time to make them there's a place online called the Soap Opera (www.the-soap-opera.net) that has a wide variety of scents available for different needs, such as sore muscles, insomnia, relaxing, stuffy nose, etc.
ReplyDelete I made some of these last night and tried them this morning. I did bake them for about 10 minutes at 350, because I put in a little more water than I intended and wanted to make sure they were ready today (awful, awful allergy attack the past two days). They were a little crumbly, but definitely a solid puck, so maybe baking helps?
I did about 15 drops of each oil, but I think they need a little more - or else I need to be more liberal with my "drops."
A word about neti-pots: my ENT recommends using the squeeze bottle as opposed to the neti-pot, because you can control the pressure by squeezing. (I use the one made by NeilMed.) Also, if you're using this method, you ***MUST*** use distilled water. Regular tap water contains a lot of bacteria, some of which is potentially fatal (check recent news for some horror stories about brain-eating amoebae). Finally, sinus rinsing can be addicting, because you feel so clean afterwards. But, you shouldn't do them more than once a week, twice at the maximum, because they also rinse away the mucus that lines and protects the sinus, which can make allergies worse.I made some of these last night for my girls. They will love them! The allergy season started early this year. A question: do you know any reason why I should not add some food coloring to the mix? These could make a nice gift with a little pink or blue or other Spring colors.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone with asthma, especially children, you should not use this! I am a respiratory therapist, specializing in pediatrics. All of the essential oils listed in the "recipe" can actually exacerbate asthma symptoms and worsen any cold symptoms. Vicks is not recommended for anyone with asthma, it says so right on the box. Also the author says she used this remedy for her nephew with croup- croup is caused by a virus in the throat, not in the lungs. (although it can move into the lungs). This remedy may open the sinuses, but the irritation caused by the essential oils will cause more swelling and irritation to already inflamed swollen tissue. Sorry to be a "debbie downer" but I have seen too many kids become sicker with home remedies. If your child has asthma please stick to just a clean cool mist humidifier in their room at bedtime. Keep it mold free. Talk with their doctor about pulimcort or some type of preventative. And under no circumstances should anyone with asthma be given a cough suppressant.

As a note to others with Lavender sensitivities; Lavender gives me an instant migraine and makes me sneeze (a co-worker actually backed up my sensitivity saying that she had a lotion with just a teeny amount of lavender scent in it and everytime she put it on a room away I would coincidentally start sneezing even though I had no idea she was using it). Curiously when on vacation in Maui a few years ago we stopped at a Lavender farm and I had no issues...must be the synthetics that bother me.
Thank You so much for this recipe! I saw it on Pinterest and WILL be trying it (without the lavender oil). I haven't been able to find the Vicks Shower Soothers anywhere for the past few years and I loved them, they were the only thing that helped me when I had a cold/sinus infection/flu. - Janene HomanApril 8, 2012 at 4:58 PM
Hi - these are great :>) when my son who is now 23 had croup we wrapped him up really warm and took him out into the cold air - works a treat - we'd done the steam up the room by boiling the jug over and over and over .... but this remedy was best :>))
ReplyDelete this sounds really nice...i have a mild addiction to Vick's Vapor Rub, but recently I read that the inactive ingredients are pretty scary and involve things like "spirits of turpentine"...i like your essential oils alternatives:)
ReplyDeleteQuestion, why baking soda and not corn starch? Baking soda is a deoderizer and corn starch is not but can be used to absorb the oils and water too.. no idea how this would work and if it would still make a "puck" as it dries and hold together enough to dissipate in the shower in the way we are looking for, but I thought maybe you have a reason you used baking soda that helps explain this some? Or maybe can help me understand why at least. Thank you very much for this idea and information!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea!!! I made mine with Tea Tree oil. Since I already clean my toilets with baking soda and vinegar, I thought that dropping one of the discs into the toilet would be worth a try. It worked great!! I dropped it in, let it dissolve a bit, added the vinegar, cleaned it, let it sit,and flushed.It is really clean and the tea tree oil gives it a nice clean smell:)Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! Just an FYI for anyone with asthma, steer clear of the Eucalyptus...
ReplyDelete- cortneyApril 13, 2012 at 10:08 AM
I can't wait to make these. Your blog is great, I've added so much to my to-do list from it. Thank you!!!
ReplyDelete I'm no doctor ... just a mom ... but my son gets croup all the time. The doctor suggested cold air. Like the commenter above, wrap them up really warm and sit out in the cold air or go for a ride in the car with the windows down. Works every time.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea! I could really use that right now as I am on the tail end of a nasty sinus infection
Cheap Other For SaleMore thanks heaped upon you! Making my 2nd batch now and trying the baking thing. Love them and gave some to my daughter who is currently in love with lavender. This is a genius idea-we think you are terrific!!
DeniseAfter reading the entire group of comments here, my brain wandered off and thought: If you made up a batch of baking soda tablets, how many different things could you use the tablets to do if you added secondary ingredients as needed? One person mentioned using these in the toilet and adding the vinegar. My mother in law swears that using baking soda to clean the shower door will remove the soap scum -- just add lemon juice. I know you can use lemon juice and soda to clean drains, so you could drop the tablet into a drain and pour in a little lemon juice to clean. Perhaps you could make the tablets and add the EO drops just before getting into the shower.

Totally excited to try this. My son was sick and we couldn't find the Vicks ones in the store. I think they quit selling them in our area
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 18, 2012 at 8:26 AM
Not sure if anyone else has commented on this, but for future reference, a child with croup will benefit from cool moist air more then warm moist air. The warmth will worsen the inflammation.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousApril 18, 2012 at 7:52 PM
These sound like a great idea, but how do I use them? Are they meant to be used in the shower? and if so, what is the process?
ReplyDelete I found you through Pinterest and read this and I'm laughing so hard tears are falling. YOU ARE HILARIOUS. I'm definitely bookmarking your blog and coming back repeatedly.

Love to network? If so you probably give out a lot of business cards, so something like our Card Wallet with ID Window will be right up your alley. You only get 1 chance to make a first impression and with this case you'll make a good one before they even see your card! Made with top quality leather, our Card Wallet with ID Window features turned edge construction and hand folded corners. The large interior pockets can hold up to 30 business cards or 14 plastic cards, and we also include extra interior and exterior pockets for more storage space. We also include an ID window with thumb slide for easy access. Your cards deserve quality protection, and that's just what you get with our Card Wallet with ID Window!
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. Composed in vibrant colors with a polished finish and buttery soft hand feel, our Timeless leather collection will age gracefully providing years of enjoyment. Please note; its texture can range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it is from.
It came on time and was exactly what I wanted. The high quality was evident even before I opened the package, but the wallet is much more than I expected; built to last.
Very nice leather, holds right amount of cards without getting to bulky.
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. We were both very pleased with the product and would not hesitate to order from Leatherology in the future.
This card hold was better than I expected. Great soft leather. I purchased this as a gift and they love it! Plus it holds plenty of cards!! Much better than those hard case holders! I even had it with the embossed initials and it looks great. I did the blink embossing, I think that is what they called it. Not the gold or silver foil. I would recommend this product and I would purchase it again for myself or as a gift
I gave these to my staff as holiday gifts. PERFECT! The quality, design and price are all fantastic. I am a Leatherology fan. Love, Love, Love this product and company. I hope they can keep up the model because I'm a big supporter. Everyone should check out their line. I looked a long time for card cases for women that looked professional but still had flair. These did it AND I could get the same (in plain colors) for the guys on my team. GOOD JOB - Leatherology.
Ordered this for a Christmas gift. The recipient loved it. I had it monogramed using silver and it really looked nice on the blue wallet. I would definitely order this again and would recommend it to anyone who likes using this type of wallet. It was hard to find, but this one is very nice! Shipping was quick too. Leatherology was a pleasure to do business with.
Great wallet-great service=I'll be back.
A purse became to bulky for me ten years ago because of my job therefore I always used a card wallet that came with the regular ladies wallet as an addition. Today with my busy schedule in and out of stores this is far easier to keep tabs on with high theft. No, it doesn't hold change but that goes into my pocket then the ash try in my vehicle; those coins add up! It meets all my needs and exceeds my kind of quality that will last many years.
Exactly what I was wanting. Enough to hold a few cards while keeping a thin profile. Price is fair and shipping was fast. Can't say enough good things.
I ordered this for my husband who only carries a card wallet because he does not care for how bulky a regular wallet is, having it in his back pocket and how the cards get smashed. This leather was exceptional and the engraving was lovely. The packaging on these wallets is a really nice presentation. I did pay extra for a quick ship so that it was here on time for his birthday. It was worth it because he was really please with the wallet. We look forward to purchasing other quality products.
I have given this business card holder as a gift several times and always get a very favorable appreciation. Great quality and sharp presentation for Graduations, birthdays and those hard to shop for occasions.
The case arrived on time and was exactly what we wanted. It was a good quality leather. We are very pleased.
My husband loves his wallet
The card case arrived quickly and is of very nice quality and workmanship.
Again, I was thrilled with my purchase! This is a holiday gift and I can't wait to see his reaction. Workmanship great and so is the packaging...Thanks!!
Very well made, not flimsy at all
My order arrived in a timely fashion and the workmanship was excellent...very soft well crafted leather. Perfect!
Just what I've been looking for for a long time!
Fast shipping, beautifully gift wrapped. Leather is soft and high quality.
Great product! Exactly as described. My fiance loved the card case. Will use Leatherology.com again!
Bought this as a birthday gift for my dad. He loved it!!
This is a purchase for 2012 holiday season! I, once again am thrilled with the product, embossing and the packaging. I hope he'll love his gift!!
Nice walet
My husband was looking for a small "wallet". I originally ordered one from Coach, but it ended up too large. This one fit the bill and looks great. He loved it!
This is a beautiful and practical card case, with lots of room to hold cards collected from others at a business event as well as your own. Leather and monogramming look great. Nice gift box too.
Better than what I was expecting, the card case is really nice, the leather is great quality. I was also pleasantly surprised when the case arrived only 2 (or 3) days after I ordered it. Thank you.
Nice feeling leather. Pocket fits business cards just right. Slot for ID and two extra slots. I'm glad I made this purchase. I wish I had ordered two at the time.
I purchased the card case as a gift for my husband - he liked it so much he began using it the same evening.
Thanks to your phone representative, she helped me match a previous purchase so that we had a matching set of money clip and wallet.
Very nice quality Card Case! Packaging was superb! Will be back for more leather needs. Thanks!
My husband loved his new card wallet. He was thrilled. Thank you so much for such a high-quality product. I will very happy with the price also.
just what I was lookig for and excellent case
Well made product. Just what my husband was looking for. Monogrammed, shipped and received in just a few days during the Christmas rush. Great quality and service.
This is the only style of case that my husband will use and the local store went out of business. He was very happy to receive this. The quality is superb to the local store and shipping was fast. Thanks
Great quality product. My only surprise was the grain of the leather. I had expected it to be a smooth polished grain. After I looked more closely at the picture, I realized that I had not chosen the smooth leather. Fortunately, the recipient was really pleased with the product. Thank you! P.S. The added initials were great!
This product was the perfect gift for my husband who uses it as his wallet. The monogram was done beautifully. Gift box very attractive. Prompt delivery after order. Would highly recommend this company.
I was very pleased with my order and the shipping was amazely very fast and the card holder was exactley as I wanted. I would be then happyn to order from you again Thank you Carole Paulk
I bought this as a gift and was very pleased by the quality. It felt good in the pocket, which means it's likely to get used. If I used business cards, I'd want one for myself.
item was purchased as a gift and it looks great
I have been looking for one of these for years. Thank you for your fast shipping.
Terrific wallet - outstanding quality and presented very accurately on the website. Not cheap but worth it.
I am so impressed. The wallet is gorgeous! The presentation is impressive! In this day and age of poor quality, sloppy workmanship and lack of care this is a great surprise!! Worth every cent!!!
I have looked for a wallet this style for a long time and could not find one in stores. It was great to learn about your company. Wallet is exactly what I wanted.
Love, love, love this credit card wallet. Beautiful color and texture!
Exactly what my husband wanted. The leather is soft but very sturdy feeling and looks very well made. It is a bit stiff and was hard to get 2 of the credit cards in, but it will soften over time. I would recommend this product and buy it again.
My husband had made his own wallet out of duct tape because of pure desperation to find the perfect wallet! I was determined to find him one like the one he made...he wanted one pocket large enough to put things in and pull things out easily. The leather is gorgeous and of course smells fantastic! I wish that the pocket expanded a tad more but it is the closest thing to perfection.:) VERY HAPPY!!
Exceptional product, nicely monogrammed. Exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent quality leather and stiching. It matches the discription give perfectly and fits my needs.
Excellent product. Outstanding quality leather plus fast service. Will not hesitate to order from Leatherology again.
Extremely please with this product. Will order from you again!
This is an excellent. Very high quality. I am very satisfied.
Pretty texture and color, and you can tell it's high quality. I hope to get some other items to match.
Bought this card case to replace my old one that got damaged. Great natural color and texture, and the monogram was a nice touch. This one looks thicker and sturdier than my other card case, and should wear well over time. Couldn't be more pleased.
I am impressed with how closely the description of the website matched the product when I received it. The pocket holds enough of my business cards but still is not bulky. I will be ordering other items soon.

For over 130 years, explorers, adventurers, workers and athletes have put their trust in the Helly Hansen name and the product Helly Hansen designs and manufactures. Delivering high quality, technical apparel; for sport, survival and work, Helly Hansen knows we work and play in the harshest environments on the planet and they develop, design and test their gear accordingly.
Each item in the Helly Hansen collection has been technically engineered and thoroughly tested, in the demanding conditions of the real-world. All Helly Hansen garments come with a full warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. If any garment should fail due to manufacturing defects, Helly Hansen will repair or replace it for no addition charge.
One of the oldest performance outwear companies, Helly Juell Hansen started producing oilskin trousers and jackets, made from durable, course linen soaked in linseed old in 1877; selling more that 10,000 pieces to seamen seeking an alternative to cotton and wool. At the Paris Expo in 1878, Helly Hansen won a diploma for excellence and began exporting his products.
In 1914, Helly Juell Hansen died, passing this company down to his son, Leiv Helly Hansen, and under Leiv's leadership, Helly Hansen developed a number of fabrics that were revolutionary for their time and offered workers and adventures waterproof, lighter weight protection.
Helly Hansen continued to push the envelope and a huge product breakthrough came for the company in 1949 with the release of the Helox fabric, a lightweight, translucent sheet of PVC plastic that was sewn into coats and hats to provide excellent waterproof protection for the adventurer. Along with Helox, Helly Hansen also developed Plarex, a heavier weight version of Helox. With this development, Helly Hansen began providing work wear; durable, reliable, waterproof apparel for industry.
On the cutting edge of fabric technology, Helly Hansen continued to explore the possibilities for warmer, lighter, more durable insulation and waterproof protection, developing Fibrepile, a synthetic insulation and LIFA, a polypropylene baselayer fabric that keeps the user dry by moving moisture away from the skin.
Layering was now a concept on the forefront of every type of outdoor apparel user. Helly Hansen created their own unique system: a LIFA base layer, Fibrepile insulation layer, and introduced in 1980, Helly-Tech, a waterproof, breathable shell.
With the safety and survival mindset that has transcended the 130 years Helly Hansen has been providing product for work, survival, and sport, they have developed and employed a long list of technologies, designs and features to help users excel during sports and recreational activities in the harshest, most rugged conditions. In the Base Layer Collection: HH® COOL™, HH® DRY™, HH® WARM™, LIFA® Stay Dry Technology™. In the Thermal Layer Collection: PROSTRETCH, PROFLEECE, THINSULATE™ Insulation, WARM CORE™, PRIMALOFT® Insulation Technology. In the Protective Layer Collection: HELLY TECH®02, HELLY TECH®XP, HELLY TECH®, SPRAY TECH, SoftShell.

Yeah :) Well my weekend is going to be spent trying to redo this sewing table I picked up at Goodwill. First sanding is done, now on to the next step. I have to keep my mind off of things, as the radiologist called yesterday and found a nodule in my mammogram results! URGH... Anyway, enjoy your weekend, and thanks so much for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOooh goodie! I've been drooling over these babies for ages, hope I win one :D
Debbie above me I hope everything goes ok for you.
My weekend to do list is rather unwieldy so the highlights are a child free evening with my man on Friday :) I'm thinking romantic meal he's probably thinking uninterrupted sport on the tv bless him! Then Saturday I'm going to sew my Modern meadow FQ's into submission so wish me luck!
How about you?Oh Cool! I have been looking at these, too. My friend has one and I haven't had a chance to try hers out yet.
This weekend I will be working on the last two blocks for a bee that I joined for Margaret's Hope Chest. These blocks are going toward quilts for children who have a parent in prison. I might also continue painting a chair that I started last weekend. I'm painting it all crazy colors. It was a whim, what can I say!Hi Lee! Would love to win one of these babies! I put on a sweater this morning which I hadn't worn since last year only to found a little dried-on baby goop on the shoulder - made me feel slightly nostalgic for not having a shoulder-dwelling baby anymore! And not the slightest bit like I wanted to go there again. Just made me smile. And then change tops. Have a great weekend! Danielle
ReplyDeleteWow! I SO want one of these. My weekend...finishing my Kaleidoscope quilt along top. Finding fabrics for my Summer Sewing Summit quilt along (I know I'm behind) and pulling fabrics for Amanda Jeans quilt along, I can't get enough of quilt alongs this year!Thanks for the giveaway, email@example.com
ReplyDeleteIts our wedding anniversary this weekend and we are going out for a meal and to watch the new Harry Potter film. Im hoping to squeeze in some time working on machine peicing my Hexigons and a little hand quilting- IF I can figure out where Im going wrong! (see my latest blog post if your'e able to help)Im also hoping to start cutting some fabric for a new project,what about you? anything nice planned? count me in for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lee to you and Accuquilt for yet another chance to win one of these awesome machines! I will be spending the weekend quilting on a show quilt for one of my friends. If I finish that I will be teaching my granddaughter to sew. She is here from Alabama for a few weeks. I brought her the end of June and told her if she came, she had to stay until the Alberta peaches came in. She didn't mind at all. So, we are looking at meeting her mommy in Commerce, GA when I go to buy peaches. We are having tons of fun!
I sure hope my number comes up this time! I would love to win a GO! Baby! :)Thanks for the chance to win it.!!!
I will sew a iPad2 sleeve this weekend. It's for my hubby who just bought the gadget yesterday... Perhaps will go to watch the finale of Harry Potter if I manage to buy a ticket :)
and.... I have a wedding dinner this weekend, my relatives daughter is getting marry....
I am hope to be the lucky one :DHi. I haven't got any great plans for the weekend although sewing will be part of it. I am currently working on a quilt for my parents using Jo Morton fabrics - I have completed it in two halves as it is a king size quilt - I have completed one half and now have to baste the other before quilting it. I am also working on some needle turn applique - I have just discovered the back basting method used by Kay MacKenzie and am loving it. Also want to make a little fabric basket to keep my applique notions in. Thank you for the giveaway. Caroline
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great giveaway!
This weekend I'm planning on trying my hand at some hand-quilting I've done a bunch of hand sewing through the yeas, but never quilting. I saw a Youtube video that was fantastic. It made it look less intimidating so, now I'd like to try it and practice it. Maybe I'll venture towards doing my crib quilt top by hand?!?
Also I'm excited to go to a new quilt shop. I heard about it this week, the problem is that it is about an hours drive away and I've got tons of material, thus it might take some convincing to get my guy to take me.
Finally, my guy's brother arrives on Sunday night. He's moving here for some contract work. We still aren't sure if he's staying here for the first few weeks or a hotel. I'm crossing my fingers for the hotel.Good morning Lee..and thank you for this opportunity...I want one so bad....lol. This weekend; we are going to visit friends..not too far away. If it's nice weather; take the Solstice...top down enjoy the drive along the coast. The kids will be camping with their kids. They all get together a lot to do this...keeps all their little ones close. Lee; I am working on so many things right now... the summer sampler QAL, quilting the log cabin, starting another commissioned quilt top, still have my applique on hold...and my yard work and gardens....busy time of the year for me...I so hope to win one of these Go Babies...thanks again
ReplyDeleteSaturday will be spent rummaging through books at two different library booksales in Connecticut. Sunday is sort of nebulous at the moment, and may include finally going back to sewing the dog costume I'm making for my brother's dog for Halloween or working on a variety of knitting projects.
ReplyDeleteWell, what a generous gift this will be for someone! I just returned from Newfoundland, I flew over with my girls to let them have a little vacation with their grandparents. So I guess that means hubby and I are on are own for the next week. No plans made in particular, but just enjoy some time alone together!
ReplyDeleteI would love, love this! I think it's going to end up on my Christmas wish list. Unless I'm the lucky winner of course ;) I'm spending the next two days (hopefully) getting 2 quilts basted and quilted while also packing for my family of 4 (2 under 3) to drive 9 hrs in the car, with my parents, to spend a week at the beach with my entire extended family. I'm tired just thinking about it! But also super excited! Thanks for the chance to win. :)
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law was going to visit, but she's not feeling well, so I have a free weekend! We have a AAA baseball game on Friday and a blueberry festival on Saturday. It's supposed to be a great weekend weatherwise! Thanks for the giveaway. I'd love to add one of these to my toolbox. Kathie L in Allentown
ReplyDeleteI'm puppy-sitting this week and, as much as I love her, Mia gets up at the crack o' dawn because she wants to patrol the backyard and keep the impertinent squirrels from partying. Mia's daddy will pick her up sometime on Saturday... so I'm planning an afternoon nap followed by sleeping in on Sunday morning. *lol* Otherwise, I'm quilting my latest project...
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on The Summer Sampler Series. I purchased my fabric yesterday. Now I just need to complete the three blocks. I also need to bind a quilt. If there is time I'll begin cutting for another quilt. And, most important I'll be welcoming my two oldest children home from their respective summer trips away from home. I miss those kids.
ReplyDeleteHere in Minnesota it is suppose to be 94 degrees on Saturday and 98 on Sunday. I will be staying inside. I am babysitting grandkids on Saturday evening. I know that I will have plenty of time to work on my nieces quilt. I have until Labor Day weekend to get it done for her wedding. I would love to win a Go Baby.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway offer, Lee! My weekend will be somewhat child-free for the first time in, well, a looooong time. My older boys will be having a sleepover with Grams. My youngest will get to spend some time with a good friend and her kids on Saturday, while the hubster and I get to go to lunch in a real restaurant sans kiddies! And then we might get to walk around the Byward Market, just browsing, or go to the Art Gallery. Simple, but nonetheless wonderful pleasures. I can't wait! :) Hope your weekend is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a go baby!!
I really hope to spend some quality time in my sewing space this weekend. We've been out of town for the last two weeks so I have been going through a little withdrawal. Ha. I really need to work on a couple of bee blocks then I can start to tackle my WIPs again. Thanks for the chance to win!Hi - my wedding anniversary tomorrow but we have no plans yet. Saturday I am having a quilting day - with a bit of luck I plan to get borders on a hand pieced quilt I've nearly done and get it backed ready for machine quilting. It's been in progress quite some time and I'm not sure I even like it any longer - lol - but I want it done. Thanks for this chance to win and I've had a really good time reading the other comments and seeing what everyones up to xxx
ReplyDeleteJust one thing they did? My kids are always doing crazy things. Yesterday they ran circles around the car playing hide and seek (they don't quite get the concept). That was after I made them stop throwing their plastic golf club into the bushes from the front step. I still haven't figured out what was fun about that...
ReplyDeletemy grandmother and two of my cousins are coming to visit this weekend! i plan on showing my gram how much i've been using her machine she gave me a couple months ago, and maybe showing my 10 yr old cousin how to quilt. or possibly just forcing her to do my dirty work like sorting and placing pieces right sides together for me to sew. haha!
ReplyDeleteWell, yesterday was my anniversary, today I'm having a sewing day as my kids are still with Grandma and my husband had a dentist appointment, and on Saturday we go to the beach for a week!! Woohoo! I am loving me some summer time!! You know what might make it better...a baby GO coming to live at my house... ;)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is on call this weekend for work; so, we're sticking close to home. I most likely will go to a nearby hallmark store for the ornament premier and go to a nearby Half-Price bookstore because I have both books to sell and a 40% coupon.
Also, I'd like to work on finishing up the DIY nightstand and work on the sampler quilt. Or, maybe I will continue crash cleaning (trashing, Goodwilling, or Craigslisting stuff) in an attempt to simplify our lives. It all depends on what I feel like doing.
I think that is more than what you wanted to hear. Ha! :-)Hi Lee! I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief that I finished my Snowflake Medallion quilt in time to enter in our state fair. It's been fun this week to turn my attention to modern quilt making. I've been piecing a top with DS Collection prints, and white and pink solids. My own design! Fun stuff.
Thanks for this super giveaway... and for NOT making us jump through nine hoops to enter!I m looking forward to sunday. My sons Kindergarden has its 50th anniversary and we have a big party over there. It will be a lot of fun meet all our friends here in our little village!
Please cross your fingers for us - we need sunshine, because we organized a lot of outside activities...
All out there in the quilt world - have a nice weekend - enjoy life!
BIG- RebeccaJuly 14, 2011 at 8:54 AM
This weekend I plan to ride my bike at least 25 miles, maybe 45, around beautiful Lake Country in Oconomowoc, WI. After that, I'm hoping to soak in the tub and read a book to recover! Some family time is in order too and some quilting time. Should be a great weekend!
ReplyDelete - AlliestitchJuly 14, 2011 at 8:56 AM
My littlest is sleeping and my older girls are colouring. We are staying at grandparents house at the moment and just hanging out and relaxing. Bliss.
email@example.com Last weekend was kinda hectic. It felt like we all had to be in different places at different times and it just wasn't really a weekend. This week has been much the same, so my hopes for the weekend are that we chill out, together. If the weather co-operates, we might head to the beach, if the weather doesn't co-operate then we might head to the forest. But whatever we do, we will not be rushing, or stressing, or being cross. Fingers crossed :-)
Thanks so much for the chance to win :-)- AlliestitchJuly 14, 2011 at 8:58 AM
Ahhh fiddlesticks - my email address should say firstname.lastname@example.com
ReplyDelete Right now I'm finishing the handstitching to bind a small baby quilt for a baby born three weeks ago. I hope to finish it, put the label on, and wash it this weekend to take over next week. This weekend is my first weekend home in a month so we'll be doing household stuff, working the dogs, and playing video games. And I'm going to either pull fabrics and start cutting for my next quilt, or put the border on a UFO quilt top that was on hold for two baby quilts in the past two months.

I've had a heck of a week already! Vacation ended, laptop hard drive crashed, and baby boy is teething hard on his first molars! A Go Baby would be a bright spot! Thanks for the giveawy Lee!my google account is not working, but this is Kelly at Blue Bird Sews; my email is firstname.lastname@example.com!

Hmmm, not completely convinced about the Go Baby - but I'd like to give it a try! Husband is not working this weekend, so who knows what we'll be doing!! Got a great charity quilt group gathering tomorrow, always look forward to that! And a quilt group on Monday - another fun group!
ReplyDelete Today, I am 36 weeks pregnant and going to an appointment with my husband for an ultrasound to make sure little man is facing the right direction. Tomorrow we're driving with friends to tour the Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware. This weekend we'll go to the farmers market and keep working on packing up out house because we're moving in 4-5 weeks. Yeah, you do the math. It's a race to see who gets here first new house, or baby boy! Now, I've got to pry myself away from the internet and work on this quilt for little man. Oh, and the matching mother/daughter retro aprons. Over achiever much?
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a free weekend so I'll be sewing and sewing some more. I have started my Christmas sewing and have finished a small snowman wall hanging so far. Another one of those, 4 lap quilts, clothes for the grandkids, and other gifts are on my sewing to-do list. I would love to have the "Baby" to help with some of that. Thanks.

I just put together a Kindle cover for my co-worker -- thinking of writing a pattern. This weekend I'll be working on some pillows for my sewing room window seat. YAY! Would love to win that Go Baby! Have a great weekend!! -- Robin F
(rmfaass {at} yahoo {dot} com) Great giveaway! I'm finally finishing the very first quilt I ever made with triangles! I HATE it! It is so badly pieced-nothing matches up- and the colors are horrid. It was my first one- I didn't know what I was doing!! However, my boyfriend LOVES it and has been begging me for the past 5 years to finish it for him. So, finally, I'm finishing it!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...a crazy thing that my 10 year old son did...somehow his door got locked last night while we are staying at my parents' house. He was sound asleep and nothing will wake him up, not to mention he had music blaring and the light on. After trying to remove the door knob to unlock it unsuccessfully, I took a ladder from the garage and climbed up to his window at midnight in my pajamas. Thankfully the window was unlocked, so I opened it up and finally got him to wake up and open up his door. I made sure to have a bit of fun along the way and made some spooky ghost noises. It was such a comical situation! I felt a bit like a burglar. I hope the neighbors weren't watching!!
And by the way, I would L.O.V.E. to win this awesome tool! Thanks so much!This weekend is packed! A little time with a new baby niece, prep for my wee one's first birthday, and some gardening. Our first tomatoes of the season should be perfectly red this weekend!! Hooray!!!
After being pretty dubious, I am coming around to the GO Baby. I think that I could put this baby to good use and I love the idea that it can make funky shape cutting so much easier.Thank you so much for the chance to win! This weekend is going to be working on our bathroom/laundry room mini-remodel (hanging drywall, paint, repairing years of disuse/abuse, that sort of thing)...and probably lots of sewing! I just picked up a new machine and I'm totally in love with it! I've got...lemme count...seven quilts at various stages of "in progress," so I'm hoping I can stay productive while the weather stays cool!
stephmabry-at_yahoo(dot)comWe are headed out on vacation this weekend for our annual Oregon Dunes rendezvous. Which really means let's meet up with college friends, drink beer, and ride quads (although not in that order). I will admit that it has gotten a LOT tamer since kids entered into the equation. But it is still our most looked forward to vacation each year.

I'm finishing up a 4th of July quilt . . . just getting a jump start on next year ;) Thanks for the chance! (soniaquilts at gmail dot com)
ReplyDelete I have GOT to finish a quilt that was promised a year ago! I haven't blogged since Feb because of this quilt because I didn't want the recipient to see that I put it aside for other things...as if she hadn't already figured that one out! It would also be motivating to wake up on Monday morning to find I won this giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI'm positively giddy (like, embarassingly so) about going to the big city this weekend to see the final Harry Potter movie in the company of like-minded nerds. I'm also spending quality time with my oldest niece today. We've already made a lil wallet and she's going to accompany me grocery shopping this afternoon and unbeknownst to her, we're going to get lunch together and go to JoAnn's because she did a whole laundry list of cleaning/organizing today WITHOUT BEING ASKED!!!

We are going to spend a day at my in-laws and then probably visit a local festival!
Would like to get some sewing/quilting done, but that seems highly unlikely (sigh)
wxgeek96 at gmail dot com Wow... 6 hours and over 180 comments! These little Go Cutters are pretty popular. I have entered several giveaways these past few weeks and they have all been very popular!
Tomorrow I am having dinner with an old High School buddy I have not seen in 25+ years! Mowing, Laundry, and hopefully some quilting Saturday and Worshiping on Sunday.
