I Love Birthdays!

I love birthdays!
This is what I got for my birthday...a stool:)
I really like the retro style, my Grandma has one.
I worked on my birthday since I'd already taken a day off that week. It wasn't too bad.
Mom made me a cake and Grandma came over for supper. We just had a nice, quiet evening.
I also got the rooster mug. Haha.
The corn I planted is coming up!
And we have PEACHES!!
Back to my birthday, here are my birthday clouds.
I hadn't planned any party or get-together for my birthday because we usually have Bible study at our house on Sunday afternoons. I figured that would double, by just having some cake.
Well, at some point it was decided not to have it that week...I was sad. I didn't want to bother people by asking them to come, when they had all decided not to come already.
My mom rocks! She knew I was sad and so she secretly invited them all over for cake and ice cream. I did figure it out before they arrived, but the "nearly surprise" party was so sweet:)
Vanessa and her family are a part of our Bible study and her birthday is the same as mine. Soooo, we had a joint party just like last year:)
Miss Annie helped us blow out the candle:)
She was just excited to have CAKE!
Hehe, what fun!

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...
