Progressive Stage Fright

-
See that cute little blonde next to Logan?
Make sure that you look at the brown pants.
Gracelyn started out ok at the VBS program.
And then...



She must have see the crowd.
See that little bit of brown to the left of Logan's right knee?


This is where she ended up.
To her credit, she did not run and  cry, she just hid behind all the kids.
When it was over, she calmly stood up and walked off the stage.
I don't see show business in her future.


However, this one, in the blue shirt...
He LOVES an audience!


These were my yard sale finds from Friday AM.
Great finds!
Total?
$17.00


These towels arrived in the mail the other day.
They are from Williams and Sonoma.
Shelby sent them to me. 
She uses them and they are so absorbent.
What a nice surprise!

I have to go on the record and thank my girls this week.
Shelby, of course for the towels.
Jennifer for making all my food that I volunteered for on Friday.
Dianna for staying and helping me take down the 500 fish on the wall at the church and for bringing buns for the food that I volunteered to make.
Shawnee for bringing potatoes for the food I volunteered to make also, (seeing a pattern here?)
and for helping me decorate and un-decorate the church.
I have the best daughters, EVER!!!!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4...

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
