Weekend Happenings
This past weekend, I went dollmaking, it was a lot of fun. One of the best classes I have taken so far. It was with Ute Vasina we made "Peter the Pack Rat", she is a fabulous teacher and also a member of my doll club. She is very patient. Here is a couple of pictures of the doll . I have not yet completed him sew the arms and legs in place, put his hair and voila he'll be sooo cute.

We also made this shoes for the Troll, they were so much fun to make.

I have also started working on two crazy quilt block (Steampunk and Tea Time) for  round robins that joined.  Hopefully this weekend gives me more time to work on the Troll so that he can finally be finished.

Hello another busy day.  I can now post the pincushion I made for the pincushion swap over at "During Quiet Time blog".  My partner was Carol from Wisconsin. Carol made me a green with multicolor petals It was a fun swap.  I would like to do it again next year if she hosts again.

I am working on a small quilt sample for a beginning class.  I have all the fabric cut and some of the blocks pieced and ready to go.  That will come later. 

This weekend was my birthday and I made a commitment to post more frequently.  After, having some kind of bug for the last two weeks, On Wednesday I felt like a train had hit me and on Thursday evening I started to feel better.  The weekend started on Friday for us.  Mr. SW took the family out to dinner.  Saturday,  was my Birthday and Mr. SW took me shopping to pick out my own present, I was overwhelmed and ended up buying nothing, after shopping we went to Sushi to celebrate.  The kids bought a small cake with all the candles the cake almost looks like its on fire.

On Sunday we had planned to go to the Los Angeles County Fair.  That was  a lot of fun, but it was hot.  The fair was crowded.  The Mr. bought me a bicycle at the fair.  The Mr. and the girls rode on an elephant, man there goes our safari trip.

On Monday Labor Day I finally had some down time and worked on an overdue project.  I  am still not feeling that great.  I have a few more days to get caught up with my projects.  My daughter started the fourth grade today. 

Finally back to posting!!

Two weekends ago our church (OLG) participated in heritage day. My oldest daughter wanted to participate, so I decided it would be good if the baby participated also and here is a picture of both of them.

 

That weekend I had a doll making class with my doll club (Valley of the Dolls) the teacher was Barbara Schoenoff, she is a great teacher.
