apple fest & cloth menstrual pad

this weekend, i and my friend Tasha went to the apple fest held by the residence services. i actually didn't know what Apple Fest is, but my husband said that it was related to halloween. of course i don't celebrate halloween. i went there simply because i was curious about it.

the apple fest wasn't a big fest, but it was certainly fun. there were a lot of food, in particular food that were made of apple. for example: apple pie, apple muffin, apple cookies, and apple cider. there was also an interesting painting activity. everyone who's interested was given an empty frame or a pumpkin on which they could paint whatever they want. when they're done, the painted frame of pumpkin can be brought home for free. as for me, i didn't do any paintings, but i got a nice t-shirt instead.

for my weekend project, i made a cloth menstrual pad. i wanted to make it since a few months ago, but i was only able to do it this weekend.

i brought the materials from walmart close to the fairfield mall - beavercreek, OH. since i don't have a car, i went there with the weekly shopping shuttle provided by the residence services.
if you're interested in making it, just google the following keywords "make cloth menstrual pad". then you'll find many written tutorials or videos.

ok, see you on my next project:)
