No-Carve Ribbon Pumpkin - Better Homes and Gardens

A Blankie for Twin Babies

I used to make blankies for my precious babies.

Now I make them for other precious babies.

 The back.

Ready to hand over.

Discover

Grasshopper's elementary school allocated a room as the Discovery Room. Children get to visit it during lunch recess and have mini science lessons. Everything there revolves round science.  I made this banner to go on one of its walls.

 Earth Sciences

 Astronomy.

 Marine Science.

I had so much fun making it. 

Hooky Playing

My purple crochet hook has been busy lately.

It is an evening activity...  I have over 15 scarves.

It is quilted

I look a little longer to machine quilt this one.

This is a gift to myself in celebration of all that I am.

Needless Project (pun intended)

I put down my needles and got out the glue, tiles, ink, and more.

A finished piece.

Work area.

In progress.

Materials.

Almost done.

Done!

Less Sewing, More Reading

My friend Kelli had a reading at Changing Hands Bookstore recently.

She wrote a novel and self published it.  The setting is Mozambique and a western city, two places I know.  It was fun being there for her first official book reading ans signing.

Quilt and Pillow Set

The pretty thing is done.  It is now in the hands of a mama who will gift it to her daughter later today.

The front  (above).  And the back (below).

The back has a single stripe of squares for texture.

Miss O's quilt - update

I am almost done.

This is the pillow...

And the quilt just needs binding.

Back to school

The monsoon season is upon us and the sky transforms itself like this:

And at night, a little crochet helps relax the mind for sleep:

But summer vacation is over and homework filled evenings are here.
