Want to colour?

I made Ted a crayon roll. The inside has frogs.. see the lines of stitching to keep his crayons straight?


My favourite Lawnchair has a hole in it what shall I do??

I found the perfect self portrait graphic and I adhered it to the chair- there we go and now we know which one is mine!

Are you sleepy

How about a book, better yet a reading pillow. This was pretty easy and fits a 16 X 16 pillow, I made it and put velcro on the enclosure. I am going to get Teddy's MOM to buy the pillow so I can put more things in his Xmas box


Horse crazy

I had some scrap and wanted to do a little something different. I drew out a template and then started to cut and glue strips on, added batting, channel stitching and red binding here we are 24 X 40 . Still have a ton of scrap it backfired!!

Wonder what mosaic I will do next!

Check this out it is the pattern that I want to make and I am oh so close to getting all those squares cut out. Mine will be a little more scrappy !  I need to always have something in the background to play with ! I am not sure how much I will get done next week but here is trying!






Enough of this Craziness

We have been battling contaminated water for weeks
We have sterilized the plumbing from the pump through all our house plumbing.
The sample was to be analyzed but off the chart so very contaminated
Then  we had to take up the steps on the little deck for their lies the wellhead.
We managed to dig down and hit a pipe about 5 feet down under and we were lucky to get away with only digging a hole  12 " across, we found the top of the sandpoint well. Six bottles of javex and a few weeks later we got a clean sampling. SO now we have marked the sandpoint head more visibly and punk a hose down so that next time instead of digging up the darn thing we can feed javex through . That is our no dig, less work approach,  if ever there is a next time. We will repeat the samples until we are assured everything is holding clear.

Next up is reassembling the steps and putting them back, we had to cut them out as they were soo stuck in place but the good news is that we have a ton of wood to work with , and I have just enough stain to cover the repair job. 

Ted's time

Ted had his 3rd birthday while we were visiting. Ted loves books and especially when there are a lot of people to read to him. Notice the placemats  I made in Florida!
He is one happy and active kiddie.
GD bought him an ahooga horn









So much to let so little time

As you know our place has been a disaster zone literally

But I was able to get in some little crafting from Paw Patrol cape, T shirts, Reading pillows and a crayon roll. I have a quilt in the process with about 2000 pieces that I have almost cut out, It will be an adventure and lots of use for my scraps. I hope my plan works out.

 SO here we go pictorial form




 See the froggies when the crayon roll is opened
SO far that is it! Not much to show for we have been so busy
