MOPS Time, Block Time!

It is that time of year again!
Last week was the beginning of a new MOPS(Mothers Of PreSchoolers) year. I enjoy being a part of that group, even though I don't get to be one of the moms. I instead get to hang out with some of their lovely hoodlums during the meeting.
The other preschool teacher had other obligations this year and so I took on her class. Last year my class consisted of only 2 or 3 kids most weeks, two of which are in Kindergarten this year. It is going to be a bit of a change.
They are sweet kids, but I'd forgotten the age difference. I'm prepared now with one meeting under my belt:)
Quinn is my helper, he does well.
Hehe, as you can see we played with blocks quite a bit.
My plans weren't real solid and they kind of mooshed under the 3 and 4 year olds.
So I went to the blocks and we had a great time. We did also learn about God's creation, sing some songs and drew some pictures. I just don't have the photographic evidence.
They made a pretty cool "farm" though;)

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...
