baby quilt and capes

I realized I hadn't posted a couple of things I made this summer? If I did I don't see them. These capes were made for the grandkids. I got the tute here.

Where have I been?






I don't know! I had so much going on this summer and so much company I was overwhelmed. I am hoping to get back in the groove now though.



My sister that was staying in my sewing room is on her feet now and just got her own place so I have my room back!



I went to a local festival today and it was sure different than last year! A lot less venders and not nearly as crowded. I was very disappointed in the amount of crafts and wasn't tempted to buy anything.



I just finished a t-shirt quilt for my niece. It is made from my late mom's t-shirts. It is kind of crinkly but I think she will like it. Now maybe I can resume my normal life!

My win and where I have been

It has been busy here with grandkids and puppies and just plain craziness! But vthings are getting back to normal and it looks like it is just going to be me and the dogs for most of the week-end.




This is a prize I won in late june from here

http://messykaren.blogspot.com/ It's a wonderful prize! I have never knitted but used to crochet and know how much time it takes to make pretty things! And the lotion,Honey and Black Seed, is a new fragrance to me and I love it.

I guess I will have no excuse but to finish this now will I?


Big Brother is back!! Any more fans out there?

Covering burn marks



My daughter and grandson are visiting me this week. She had lyposcopy for endometriosis and they removed a cyst so she is recuperating here. I take them home tomorrow.


She has a Christopher Lowell bedspread that had some burn marks on it. I used applique to cover them in one corner. It turned out pretty cute!
