Project 366- August 7, 2008


It all started on a humid, foggy morn...


Okay, so the car didn't start on the humid, foggy morn. Dad and I picked up a new battery yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, it was the wrong size and he had too bad of a headache to switch one from the Z-car. Thus, on this humid, foggy morn I was without a car.


The garden center was empty this morning. I took some lovely flower pictures in the perennials. See:




Oh, that isn't a flower! That is my new pet Dilly. I found him and his little friend Freddy on the dill plants I was getting rid of. They made for quite a bit of entertainment. I made them little homes to take back to the kiddos.


I got off work early due to the lack of motor vehicle and mom took me home. Once home I "accidentally" crashed on mom and dad's bed. Good preparation for the lovely evening at Bunco. As you can see, I am breaking out of the mold and adding more pictures. This is indeed the official Project 366 picture:

Aren't these lovely ladies?! We had a FABULOUS time tonight! There was zucchini, laughter, snorts, bath things and Buncos galore!

    Key question: was there snorting from others or just from you? Only tease those whom we love.

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...

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...
