a little of what's going on

The olymipcs is on soooo late that I rarely stay up to watch most of it- Last night- exception.
Excited I was to start on something baby and something boy that I finally pulled myself away from the sewing machine at two a.m. -Not feeling in the least sleepy-
Brother Js blessing outfit on the left for inspiration and pattern making
Jr's nearly completed (missing elastic, buttons and a bow tie) church clothes
Made to practice for his little outfit of white to be blessed in.
I think I'm ready to cut up Grandpa's donated white shirts and start on the real project!
Still looking for a good (and free) pattern for some shoes to go with it.
I am pleased, but wish there was a tiny bundle around here to try it on.

Flannel Board-

I would have liked to use a plain colored fabric but-

ya know-

I use what I have.

I slipcovered and handled heavy duty thick cardboard and

Love that it fold up but can also stand up-

I threw on some felt circles to see if they would stick and left them there.

Next morning, Cami runs straight to it

Occupied for minutes on end- (hours if you add up the days)

I'll take that as a "thank you very much mom I love it!"

I'm working on more stuff to stick up there.

Here's a fast cut pictures from a magazine and put them in an old photo album quiet book.

Not so quiet during church-

if you fill it with animals that encourage sound making.

Also Camilla approved again and again.

For a while the sun was out here and

Hider (the turtle) enjoyed his outdoor turtle pond in the making

I collected seeds- planted in egg cartons set on a cookie sheet to soak up the water

rip off the bottom and plant outside

Now several seedlings join my strawberries in their new raised beds

loving the rain and chicken fertilizer (I got connections)

Everyone needs a spaghetti face picture don't they

I can't get over how gorgeous my daughter is!
