It's been a busy week, but I did manage to get some sewing time in today.
I made this little mug rug/ mini quilt for a friend from church. This sassy knitting lady is part of a panel by Loralie. I have more sewing ladies that I plan to make a wall hanging with someday. Loralie also has a nurse panel that I really need to purchase. I can think of some fun gifts for some of my nurse friends.
I finished the quilt top made from an Amy Bradley quilt panel that I purchased years ago. These little faces make me smile every time I look at them. I let Avery see this quilt yesterday and he decided the babies were all boys, even the one with the pink hair bow.... 'somebody put a hair bow on that boy's head.'
I spray painted this week, too. I bought this wooden toolbox at Goodwill for 2.99. It was flat brown and I painted it black. Now, what to put inside of it??? My brain is thinking embroidered mini pillows and mini quilt block pillows. Or fake fruit?? Ideas??
I watched the boys for a couple hours yesterday while their mommy worked on the zip line. This was Avery's new trick....he decided the cookie was his new mouth. We spent quite some time yesterday, renaming our body parts.... our noses were rocks, our eyes were marbles, our ears were flowers, our hair was spaghetti, our feet were bricks, our arms were sticks, etc. etc.
This little fellow is seven months old already! This picture was taken just before he fell asleep in Grandma's lap. Chandler truly lights up a room with his smiles and sweet nature!
Here he is just a few minutes later.... one precious baby!
Thank you for the kind words when I mentioned I had not been feeling well in January. I had a little scare with my labwork and was worried about what elevated liver enzymes might mean for me. (being a nurse, I always think the worse...over the past 29 years I have taken care of plenty of hepatitis and HIV patients, not to mention accidental needle sticks along the way) However, I went back for repeat labs this week and all were normal. I am feeling much better and hope whatever it was, is all behind me now. Thanks again for your kindness. Bloggy friends are great!!
