a quilt start to finish



                                                        cut squares being sorted just right,
                                                    finished quilt in a quick burst of morning sunshine,


                                           front and back,



                                           discussing favorite squares of fabric,
                                             baby quilt done,
                                               back of hand quilted project,

                                                    another bonnet,
                                                       my pile of unfinished projects.

For the love of pink


                                               Sweet little boy smiles,
                                                    first experiment in dyeing wool,




                                           yarn ball and a peek of finished quilt,

                                               finished baby bonnet from berry dyed wool.
I love the variation in color but guess we'll have to wait and see if it hold.

Fall/winter collage


                                             Fall turkey dinner,


                                           5th birthday party,
                                            Halloween any grandparents,
                                            the candy haul,
                                            the perfect tree finally,

                                              gluten free ginger breadmen,
                                                             the snowman ......
                                                             that turned into the bunnyman,
                                                            Christmas star,

                                           sleepy head boy,

                                           hand made Christmas gifts,


                                                          and the tree decorated.

Thrifty tuesday

Button love, I'm still in disbelief that I found the exact wooden buttons I was looking for! There just right for the project in my head. I better get back to my knitting before the boys come running off the bus.

Crochet



 
 
Well I've been busy learning to crochet sweaters. This sweater was so fast and simple
 I love that the buttons are vintage from sweaters I worn as a baby.
