Project 366- October 25, 2008

Well, there is a leetle bit of snow left in the yard. Just the piles where the snowmen were remain. I kept glancing out and thinking it was Stella or a white cat.
Brenna got to spend the afternoon with a friend and dad had to work. Sooo, mom and Quinn and I went and picked apples at the neighbor's. They are such big, delicious apples! We were able to get nearly 2 baskets full just from the ground. It was fun to try and maneuver the apple picker up high in the tree though:)
Quinn liked the apple picker too. He was a great "man of the house" for the day.
I found some old denim for a purse pattern. Quinn was able to fit into one leg of these...his whole body. Yeah, big jeans:S
This is Freckles. I named her tonight when I discovered that her nose was peppered with spots. Mom, Quinn and I also walked down to the removed playground equipment this evening. I wish they would just put it up on the baseball field. We roamed around outside in the beautifulness, getting our vitamin D for the day.Dad decided he wanted to eat out and Quinn's vote for NOT PIZZA landed us at Tumbleweed. We were being crazy kids in the backseat. Yummy food. Tumbleweed has the best burgers ever. Oh, how I adore the toasted bun:)

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
