Project 366- December 5, 2008

A beautiful sunrise is a FABULOUS way to start the day. I have begun to look forward to seeing what the sunrise will look like each day that I work. Its variations are so amazing, thank you God!
December Photo Project:


It was a full day and super busy afternoon. I had a good day, nice patient interaction, got extra work done and didn't feel like I was pathetic at my job!
At 5:50pm Mom and Dad dropped off the kids with me. Tonight was the ALCC Christmas party so I'm really on duty:)

I took the kids to Pizza Hut once we got out of work nearly an hour later. They had Book-It vouchers, hurrah! We had a yummy, fun time...when they weren't arguing over who got to sit by me. Maybe the booth wasn't such a good idea. We ended up just playing Chinese fire drill every 10 minutes or so:) After filling up on pizza and cinnamon sticks we went down to the town square to see the lights and the nativity. Boy was it pretty and COLD! Brenna wanted to be a wise man on this occasion, with her gift for the new born king.

Next stop was the video store to pick our videos for our "sleepover." Sleepover meaning watching a movie and sleeping in the spare bedroom. We watched Nim's Island tonight, part of it 3 times!
Mom and Dad got home about 30 minutes into the movie and we agreed to go back to the beginning so they could watch it too. We got all settled in and started again only to get 15 minutes into the movie. Grandma called and wanted dad to come light her furnace pilot light. Once he left we started the movie again...5 minutes:) Grandma called back to change plans and we had to call dad back to the house:D WHEW!!

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

Hello, Jellyfish Wedding Quilt

Image
My babiest brother got married in March! So crazy! So happy for them! They were planning to get married this coming August but decided to just have a small courthouse wedding earlier. I thought I had time to get a wedding quilt made but not with the change. I asked for their preferences and got started. Request: he likes green, she likes pink and wanted some jellyfish. Here are the fabrics I went with, plus white and teal rocks. I found another quilt I liked on SuzyQuilts website. It was a bit more of a modern pattern, which I thought fit my sister in law a bit better. Ready, set, go! These pictures are a little out of order, oops!   I tried just figuring the pattern out myself so I wasn't sure how my measurements would come out. It came out really long! I ended up trimming part of the top and bottom as well as adding a vertical border. Simple blocks! I am feeling so much better about the tension of my quilt parts on the rollers. It gave me the confidence to try a new design! Yay!
