Artsy Craftsy Show

 

First up...darling 5  year old Aoife...home sick for the first two days of kindergarten...So sad that she had to have two of her pet chickens cuddle with her on the sofa.....

When my friend Margaret had identical twin granddaughters, I had  to make quilts...The twins were at risk and it all turned out great!! They are now 3 months old, same age as my girl when we adopted her...

These quilts are for the stroller and/or car seat...as the children age, these can be used for doll quilts.  Sherry  kindly embroidered each girl's name on the quilts...Eloise and Adelaide!!!

My friend here at the complex picked out some fabric for patching the hole in her pants...Voila my patch for her...Another friend is using the second patch that matches for a pocket patch on the back of the black pants...
I whipped out these two rope bowls last night to put in the Art room open house this afternoon...So thrilled I found colored rope online....Orange for the fall.
Baby face cloths covered with children's fabric.  My occupational therapist just had a baby girl.  She also has a two year old son...I made two for the new daughter's bathtime and two for her son...
There was such a lovely craft/art/hobby show in our theater area a few days back.. I showed my wares and appreciated those of others...Here is a buddy who does wood carving...I just loved his wooden bowtie!!  My attendees loved first my African fabric; second the rope bowls.  I was  grateful that it was just a show and not a sale...so relaxing and fun.

Today was a lovely day. I am expecting tomorrow to be the same...Nice to be a retired old lady with an apartment full of stunning fabric...Sigh....xoxo

Quilting at my place today brought Linda and Sherry and my sister...So much laughter and of course they helped me do things around that I am afraid to do without falling....I am so very grateful
