Kids Say...




Kids are so funny! I love getting to work with them and hear the things they say. The downfall is, they aren't mine:( Some of my kiddos are moving away and that just makes me sad.




Here are a few anecdotes from the past few weeks:





I was pushing some kindergartners on the swings, mostly underdogs. J asked for a push. As I got ready to push she yelled, "Will you give me an underWEAR?!" Haha!!!





Walking by the kiddos playing by a muddy area on the playground I hear E yell: "No, don't EVER touch a pregnant worm!" Hahaha!!!



Yesterday someone said something about not liking cats. I replied that we have three cats. T says: "Are you allergic to them?" Me: "Um, no. Are you allergic to cats?" T: "No, but I always sneeze when I look at the sun!" Hehe.





Sitting on the bench with E and we see another girl's dad drive up. E says, "Hey, is that Thompson (name is changed, but this is only his last name)?" Me: "You mean Mr. Thompson, Em's dad?" E: "Yeah, my dad just calls him Thompson." :D


This one was actually Quinn. Mom was ill one night and slept in Quinn's bed. That meant Quinn got to sleep with dad. He is a major cuddler and would sleep with someone every night if you let him. The following night he said, "Can I sleep with dad again?" Me: "No, mom is going to sleep with dad." Quinn: "That is NOT fair, she gets to sleep with him EVERY night!"





Life is funny!

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...
