Jayden’s quilt

Well, the little green quilt from the left-overs is almost done. Pnut helps me a lot.

Pnut and Annie Oakley

I can’t believe how fast this quilt is going. Of course it’s little, like making baby bedding because Jayden wanted a smaller one just for curling up in on the couch. It’s perfect for that, and so very cute! I threw everything at it. No sense in having a serious blankie for a kid, so it’s got rutching and lace a-plenty.
Pnut is small enough to be on the work table and so he is, fequently. He’s just great company.
He doesn’t quite ‘get’ the ball game. He like it when everybody runs around, and when he can get the ball he likes that, too. But he just runs off into a corner of the yard and chews the ball, or even more ofte, he lays down beside it and chews on something else, forgetting the ball altogether. When he has the ball in his mouth he will come to me when i call him, but I don’t think it has anything to do with the ball.
He doesn’t have to be smart because he’s so cute. There I said it.

Holidays are over

It was a real joy to have such a large number of my small family gathered around me this holiday. We all had a real good time. And ate too much. Now we all need to get ahold of some Fentraphen and lose some of the weight. We had lots of huge and fun dinners.
One night we had a giant amount of pork roast that I found on sale at Food City. I got to use a big roasting pan that I haven’t used in years.
And for Christmas Day, we had a twelve-pound ham. I am surprised that it’s all gone now, except the juice and bone. We’re saving that for New Year’s black-eyed peas and cornbread. Dear Heart’s specialty.
The house is all quiet now, everybody went on their way. My niece and DH, J and D and family are on their way to Heart of The Old West.
I got a new camera. It’s a Canon Power Shot. WOW !

A friend of mine sent me this link

She made one basically like this one and one out of PVC pipe. Said the cardboard box is better. I guess both could be folded flat for storing.

Before I forget, the author of Breadwinners is Mel London. A very good read, as mentioned in the last entry.

Today I finally stirred and churned the papier mache mix. I added some color and set on a design for a first project with this batch. I think I will try some picture frames, or framed picture boxes.
