Project 366- October 15, 2008

I go in phases when it comes to reading. For a few months I won't pick up any books and then for a few more...I can't get enough of anything old and thick. I'm in an old and thick phase right now.
Today I finished Katherine by Anya Seton. I like books based on history and it was one I enjoyed. It did make me sad in my heart. The proof that sin has been raging throughout all humanity and all time strikes me sometimes. I forget sometimes that this terrible state of man's heart and man's sinfulness is just a case of our society today. So untrue...Satan has been battling for our souls since Adam and Eve. Hmm.
I decided to create a bookplate as well today. Some way to mark my old, thick books and not get them mixed with mom's:) Just a few weeks ago I brought home a sack full from the library back room. Now I can stamp them as mine:) Project 366 picture:
I did eventually get some other things done, besides reading. Tonight was Tag Team. Janessa and I are best friends now:)
She wouldn't sit in her chair unless I was her booster seat. Hehe, it did seem to calm her down more than usual. I'm guessing she doesn't probably get a lot of one-on-one attention.
Noah's ark was the story tonight. Check out all the animals!
Stickers for your verse!

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...
