Project 366 picture: No more darkness on the way to work! The sunrise was beautiful.
Work was nice. I had a little trouble getting regrouped now that I've finished the 800 postcards we're mailing out. The downside of the daylight savings time is that now it looks like this when I go home:( Dark.

Project 366 picture: I voted!
Before voting I started Ansel's Christmas present and scraped the school floor for 2 hours. After voting I attended a work meeting, had an appointment with Sherry, and purchased the items for my two Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
Throughout the day I prayed and prayed and prayed. What a massive change, and not really a good one for Christians, this election could be. And then I stayed up late to learn the final verdict. Needless to say, I'm scared. I've never felt unsafe in this way before. I cried for the unborn, the sanctity of marriage and the future of homeschooling and moral values.
Praise the Lord that God never fails. He knew this was to be, it is in His hands and He has a plan for it. I'm curious to see how it will all go forward.

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times I had to stop and find more squar

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended up receiving it wanted something more.  She f

I'm Still Here!! Kim's Quilt

Image
I have been missing in action here on the blog but for good reason! My husband and I sold our house at the end of June and moved to our unfinished basement in the middle of nowhere! We lived for 3 months among all our stuff(which is alot) as we pushed forward on building the house above us.  We are now upstairs, hurray! Although far from finished it feels so good!! Anywho, I still had a few quilting projects with deadlines to complete. Here is one! I kept out the few necessary supplies, my modern little New Home Janome, and made it work. First it was on/beside the bed in our little sleeping corner.  She picked a pattern from a few I suggested but in a forest green colorway. I loved the pattern as it was simple, straightforward halfsquare triangle blocks. They were fairly large, 9.5 inches and it went together so quickly! A great quilt for a less than optimal work space. Haha, my toddler has learned the fun of digital photography. Worked quite nice here to show the next work space. I ha
