Package in the Mail

It is rare, RARE I tell you, that I get a package in the mail and today I got one! Ben's mom sent me a package! I was racking my brain trying to think what could be inside and since she sealed the envelope so well I had some time to think. When I finally got out a scissors and opened up the darn thing, I found 2 wonderful surprises inside!
She crocheted 2 Reversible Swiffer Socks from some of her leftover yarn. Resourceful AND reusable. If you click on the picture above you can read the description...but, one side is loopy to help grab dust and the other is smooth - let me tell you, it works! Please don't judge how horridly dirty my floors must have been...
Holy bananas, that's a lot of dirt, hair, grass and whatever else! So, then, I took the big dust bunnies off and flipped it over to use the second side which is smooth for wet mopping.
I've always used a Windex/water mix in a spray bottle to clean my hardwood floors. I spray it on, then go over it with a Swiffer and call it good. So, I did that with this handy reusable swiffer sock and it was even better then with a regular Swiffer cloth. In fact, this was more effective then I have ever experienced the traditional Swiffer to be.

Thank you Sue!!
