I love all of these RED kitchen images...especially the red braided rug (No. 9)!

And, no, these are NOT my kitchen items although I would love to have any of them in my kitchen.

We don't have a Blue Door but I sure wish we did after finding these fantastic images on Flickr.

We just had our dark green shutters repainted last year and they go with our front door so we don't plan to change our color anytime soon.  I love the weathered doors in No. 6 & 8!  

 Please join Mary at The Little Red House (here) for more Mosaic Monday!


Happy Father's Day!

My Swiffer Duster Cover

My new Swiffer Duster Cover!


Simple, cheap and quick...you got to love this neat crocheted Swiffer Duster Cover!

I found this project on another blogger's blog but I can't remember who so I'm sorry I can't give creative credit but it's such a great idea I had to try it.


Sugar n' Cream Cotton Yarn

I used left over cotton yarn I had on hand.  I crocheted a rectangle (just start a chain as long as your swiffer plus an amount to go over the sides to secure it).  

It's a row of Double Crochet (US) then a row of Front Post Double crochet alternated to the end.   

I wasn't even that concerned about even ends. 


Make it long enough to go over the sides and hook in place

Quick and easy to crochet up and I used it immediately on our kitchen's laminate flooring.  It worked beautifully.  I'll just soak it in Oxiclean and throw it in the washer.   

I plan on making several more of these to have on hand.  

Wouldn't they be cute made up in holiday colors?   

One for Easter, Memorial & 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas???
