take it for a spin

 Some time ago I purchased an Ocedar spin mop and bucket. I love this thing. 

The mop head is removeable and can be washed. You put it in the water on the one side of the bucket then put it in the spinner side to spin the excess water out of it.

Lately the bucket's spin mechanism hasn't been working too well. Sometimes it will spin fine and other times not. I looked into just buying a new bucket but they all came with the mop. Then I discovered that you could purchase replacement mechanisms. I found a pack of 2 for just under $6 dollars on Amazon and ordered them. When they came I was surprised that it was just one small piece. I was expecting the larger piece as well. I was skeptical but tried it anyway.

It was super easy to replace and now the bucket works like brand new. I really didn't want to have to go back to the old sponge mops I've used in the past so I was thrilled that this one was fixable. 

You can also purchase replacement mop heads for this which I did shortly after purchasing it. Now I have several that I switch out for washing.

Week 42 drawings.

 I'm currently on week 43 and yesterday filled my third sketch book. I never imagined when I started this that I would have kept it up for this long.

RAK

 Since I had been sewing like crazy and had accumulated quite a few things, I decided that I would do a random act of kindness kind of thing. I made some cards explaining what it was and put it with some of my handmade items.

Down the street from me, in the library parking lot, there is what we call the blessing box. People can drop off non perishable food items or other items such as cleaning supplies etc. Anyone is free to drop by the box and take whatever they may need.

The day I stopped the blessing box was pretty empty.

I left my offering on one of the shelves. While it's not going to help someone looking for something to eat, I thought something pretty might just put a smile on someone's face.

I haven't gone back to see if anyone picked it up or not but it doesn't matter. I'm sure someone will.

April fools

 Welcome to April. My but the time flies. I am not going to play any jokes on anyone today. It's just going to be an ordinary every day kind of post. I hope you get through the day without anyone playing any jokes on you.

When I went to the mall to treat myself I only made three purchases. One was for body spray at Bath and Body Works. It was on sale for $5.99. I purchased a scent called All eyes on her.

At Boscov's I purchased a pair of black pants that were on sale for $19.99.

My final purchase was a pair of shoes that I bought at The Shoe Department.  I wasn't looking for shoes but wandered in the store and started looking around. I have plenty of sneakers but no casual shoes that are a little dressier. I found a really comfortable pair and the box said that they were podiatrist approved. Regular price $47.99 on sale for $24.98

Let me just say these shoes are so incredibly comfortable.
