Projects

It seems like a I always have a list of projects that I either need to do (or think I need to do) or would like to do. The above quilt I had intended on making before Elise is born. That's okay. At least I finally did it. I had bought this as a kit off ebay. It was great and all but stunk like smoke when I got it. So I threw all of the pieces into the washer. What mess. Some pieces shrunk or unraveled more than others so the quilt isn't perfect. That's okay too. I'm kind of into imperfect these days. ;-)
I'm loving flannel for blankets and quilts now. I also enjoyed doing the tied quilt instead of machine quilting this time. I'm thinking of making a larger sized flannel quilt for myself. I'm still into squares and simplicity and therefore will likely never be part of a quilting guild - I'm such a rule breaker.
Sorry for the sideways picture (I'll explain below). Ava got all of these bottles of paint from her Aunt Liz or Christmas, along with some paper. She had a blast painting using her new paints and her easel. It looks like she's loving art the way I always have.

This is sad but I don't even have enough space on my computer to edit (for example, rotate) and save a pic. Chris is researching parts and things so he can build me a new one with more space, etc --hopefully this will happen very soon!!!
