Project 366- November 18, 2008

Mom and the kids went in to town for a MOPS planning meeting this morning. I tried to catch up on some stuff I needed to do. I drew four camels for Kate's church Christmas program:) I then loaded up to go to town. Hehe, I only had to chase one camel across the lawn and tackle it. It was a bit windy and I drew them on stove size cardboard boxes.
Brenna bought candy canes the other day. She's been waiting and waiting for them to be in the store.

I delivered the camels to Kate's house and met mom with her phone she'd left at home. Then it was off to a bi-weekly work meeting. Arg. I despise work meetings. The only highlight is the free food. For some reason, okay lots of reasons, they just put me out of sorts. After a meeting I feel like quitting, like I'm doing a terrible job, like the expectations are ridiculous... And then I go back to work and it was no biggy. Why must the stress of meetings happen:S?
I decided that tonight I would pick a movie to watch. Mom had to work anyway. I picked Monsters Inc. I really like that movie...cute.

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...
