Ok - not really. There really isn't a snake in the napkins. I used that to get you interested and so that I wouldn't forget what I wanted to talk about. Pretty smart of me! LOL
Snake - It was AWESOME! Camera? Oh yeah - it was in the house. I have heard a lot about teachable moments. Well today was a teachable moment. I don't even remember what I was doing outside. I walked by our garden and I just happened to see a snake. Of course I called the boys over and we admired it's beauty. I was amazed at myself for remembering the name of it. Oh yes - it was my time to shine! Once we oohhed and aawwed until the snake was tired of us entertaining him, he decided to crawl out of the garden and into the flower bed. I immediately came inside and googled our snake. You are gonna love what I found...
Masticophis flagellum better known as the Eastern Coachwhip and here is another awesome website Coachwhip
I read that the coachwhip snake is very slender bodied and extremely fast. I saw it first hand today. What was the most unique to me was half of it was black and the other half was a light brown color. Interesting indeed!
What a teachable moment!
Oh yeah!!! I almost forgot! Napkins
With times the way they are and money kinda tight, we have been cutting back on lots of things. One of those things that I ranted about the other day was theuse waste of paper napkins. Use it once and throw it away. Not anymore at our house. I announced to everyone at supper that there would not be anymore paper napkins bought. We will now make our own napkins and not waste another penny on something we are only going to throw away.
In my mind I had this idea about how to make our cloth napkins. I thought hmmm...if I can google a snake, why not google a napkin. So I did and this is what I found.
Molly's Handmade Napkins and Rebecca Writes Cloth Napkins
I really think that you will love the handmade clothe napkins on both of those sites. I know I sure will be doing some sewing in the next couple of days. I have some scrap material stowed away just for such projects.

Oh my! You are so brave my friend! (Yep that was me running a hundred miles an hour in the opposite direction!) He he! I do not know why I am so scared of snakes. I don't mind them behind glass but don't like to get too close! LOL! I forced myself to hold a giant python a few years back to try and desensitize myself! It did not work, although the python was a lovely chap and did not bite me at all!
The napkins look great! Molly's ones look too nice to use! The others looked far more practical and still pretty as well! I have cloth napkins but we very rarely use them. No wonder my child wipes his face on the table cloth! My bad! Must get those napkins out! Ha ha!
