Activities

This weekend was full of activities.
I can't believe it's already September and
fall is quickly approaching.
Bill took the boys fishing, and I hung out at Grandpa and Grandma's
house. Here's Maggie after some coloring at home.
David is always ready to give me a smile for a picture.
Luke...what a ham...

We did a little paper craft before bed last night. Kind of like tissue paper Mosaics.
I found the idea at The Crafty Crow. Neat website! Like the tissue on Dub's forehead???

Sewing and the Garden

I'm always jumping at the chance to learn a little more about sewing.
Here was an attempt to make an all in one diaper with my own pattern.
These really need gussets, so I'm thinking of a way to improve the legs.
They fit my older one in diapers great, but I think they could use some reinforcement...
I'm really enjoying the flowers in the yard this year.
Below are Cosmos. It is my first year to grow them. The plant
is larger than I expected, but worth it since
they are beautiful in a vase.
Next are a few other flowers. My favorite of course is
the Blanket flower. This is the trumpet variety. It's the lower left one.

Marigolds and zinnias are this last picture.
I like the bright colors!
