Just a little sewing

Since the little guy goes through a lot of bibs and they are constantly in the wash, I decided to use some of my stash to make him a bib just to see how it would work out. I had never put velcro on a bib before - they were always made with ties.

As you can see, I didn't even iron the fabric. I was just intent on getting it done before he woke up. I used the Friday/Vendredi bib as a pattern and put some flannel in between to soak up any liquid that might find it's way past his little chin.

Daring: adventurous courage; to have the boldness to try; venture; hazard.

 I think you have to be pretty daring to try surfing. 

I'm going to be daring here and post another photo.

Since I do not gamble, I think that taking a chance on a couple of dice is daring.

I'd also like to add another one to a previous post for Book inchie.

I came across this and liked it better for the theme on Book.

Little visitor

I will be busy for the next little while because of this little guy.

 

Woops, sorry, wrong photo.

I meant this little guy, Luc, who arrived last night, safe and sound.

For me

When I was at the Rouge Valley quilt show, the only thing I purchased was a small quilt kit. It was sold by Picton Fabric World, a quilt store in Picton, Ontario. It is the same vendor I had purchased the Hallowe'en mini quilt kit at an earlier quilt show.

  Isn't it cute? I couldn't decide on whether I wanted this one or one that had Santa and a snowman but this one can be hung on the wall longer since it is winter-themed not just Christmas.

Here's one done up. I asked if I could take a photo so that I could figure out which fabrics go where. The vendor also told me that in the kit is extra fabric to make binding since the instructions call for a pillow case finishing and she thought binding was nicer. I agree.

These are books I ordered for myself as a birthday gift - the knitting books are courtesy of my daughter. Thank you. I had borrowed them from the library and they were so good that I decided I would like my own copies for my own library. The quilt book is 'just because.'

Have a great, creative week. I will be busy getting ready for a very special little guest and his mom who are coming for a visit.

Life: the sum of the distinguishing phenomena of organisms, especially metabolism, growth, reproduction, and adaptation to environment.

 "Along with RNA and proteins, DNA is one of the three major macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life."
