a whole lot of "stuff!"

There's no place like home! This little 25x28 quilt is for the St. Pat's 2007 Auction. It was so much fun to make. Quick and easy...very gratifiying! It isn't finished but I love the 'ruby slipper' in the corner. I think I might have to make another trip to The Quilted Moose for more applique fun.















A good friend asked me to make a center piece for the Hearts of Hope fundraiser. These little girls were so much fun. I "heart" them! A couple syrofoam balls, wire, paper, a lentil for the nose and alot of glue! They were definately a challenge. I would have liked to give them faces, but my drawing ability is below average. After alot of mental debate, I decided they looked better plain. Next time, I want to experiment with watercolors and different colored paper.





















This week I have to plant the garden. I need to put a little fence around the perimeter, to keep little animals and boys out! Just the basics...tomatoes, onions, sugar snap peas, cucumbers and a pepper or two. The wind out here is definately a challenge. We're going to plant some pumpkins in the vacant lot next door. Hopefully, there will be enough for the Halloween party this fall!
