My options: The end result: (box pleats + chevron burlap + ribbon + cotton + flannel + buttons + flowers) Here’s the making of (in gif format nonetheless… don’t watch it too long – it’ll give you a headache): See the rest of the book.
So apparently it’s been two years since I registered for WordPress. Happy Anniversary to my blog! In June it will be 10 years overall (including my time on Xanga). Crazy. Thanks to anyone who still checks in on me from time to time! Oh, and completely off-topic… today I signed up for our wing’s new program – the Mighty Ninety Safe Ride! In the past, they had a contract with one of the local cab companies that provided rides for people who maybe had a drink or so too many or maybe ended up in a bad situation; but with the unreliability of the cab company (and it was costing a lot for not getting much out of it), our new wing commander started this program. I’m interested to see how it turns out. Or how much people will use it. Hopefully they do. I started out signing up for a Saturday night and two weeknights in February as a driver… I’ll see how those go first and then sign up for more from there …
OK… I’m fairly confident that the person I’m making this for doesn’t even know I have this blog. So I think I’m pretty safe posting it. We’ll hope for the best… :) And if not… oh well… SURPRISE! :) So here’s my first attempt at making a quiet book. I’m sure there will be more of these in my future… they are so adorable and there’s a whole world of options of things to make — AND, it gives me a good reason to use my Cricut to cut fabric. :) It’s like the perfect mixture of scrapbooking and quilting. Here’s what I started with. I made a huge mess and went through all of my fabric, ribbon, buttons, etc. to sort everything into colors. From there I decided what I wanted to use for each page to get a good mixture of colors and textures. I cut a small rectangle of grey fleece for the base of each page and started laying things out from there… In order to not overwhelm myself with posting… I’m …
In case you haven’t seen her yet… Lizzie Velasquez is an inspiration. I find everything about this girl, her beauty and positive attitude infectious and amazing.
Danny thought Finn needed a bow tie. After all, he is a very handsome boy. Here’s how it turned out: (SP18) He seemed pretty happy with it until he started shaking and scratching to get it off. Oh well… at least he looked adorable for a couple minutes. :) Again, Zoe was not impressed. Oh, and I started Pure Barre today… wow… there’s nothing like a good reminder of how absolutely non-flexible I am to get me going in the morning. Definitely not for beginners. But it was great. I think my legs are still shaking. Here’s to a strong, flexible year to come! :)
