My productive summer

At the beginning of the summer i mentioned that one of my goals was to finish this T-shirt picnic blanket quilt I had started. Well, nearly 6 months later, I am done!!!!!!!!! It was hard and frustrating, but it feels so wonderful to be finished, right as picnic weather has gone. Ta Da! It is so soft and wonderful. We tried it out yesterday.




In the midst of finishing my quilt i got preoccupied with a variety of other projects.

The care bear......

While making this i got so much fake fur up my nose I gave myself a sinus infection.


The quiet book........

This was a lot of fun to make, but now that i'm done, Alex has already lost half the Velcro shapes to half the pages.


The stuffed birds for a mobile I'll finish later.....






I made a bunch of these for Kate for her baby shower, They are so easy and they look great! Tyler likes throwing them.

The hardcover journals.......



Kate and I saw these at a farmers market and decided that we could do that. So we went to DI and bought a bunch of old hard cover books, and then found out no one in town would bind them for us. Finally a nice lady at Staples tried it and it worked!!! All we did was take out the middle pages of the book, add our own paper, and now we have cool hardcover spiral drawing pads or journals that are disguised as something else!

The Alice dolls......


These are actually called Black Apple dolls, but when I finished making one for Alex, i was taken aback at how much they reminded me of my friend Alice. So I renamed them Alice dolls, and Alice yes I made one for you, It is in a box waiting to be put in the mail, right now.


The wrap skirts........ Which I will add pictures later.
There was the portable wet wipe cover.... Also will add later.
There was also the bread making and cooking phase, that took up a lot of time and that I don't have many pictures of, but it was delicious.
