First Day of School

-
How many pics are there just like this?
I see them everywhere!
I wanted one of him getting on the bus,
but
in his busy little way....

He grabbed my camera
because
he wanted to take a picture of his bus pulling up.
He got someone else's truck...
and then the bus!

And this is all I got of him getting on the bus.
See those little feet?
How can they be ready for school?

And Logan had his own school bus.
I seriously underestimated how much those two entertained one another.
Until...
Gramma, how do you spell youtube?
Gramma, how do you spell Brunswick Pro?
I can spell Bowling myself!
Gramma, come look at this!
Gramma, read this to me!
Gramma, please play just one game of bowling on the computer with me!
Gramma, when are we going to the candy store?
Gramma
Gramma
Gramma
Gramma, when is my brother going to be home?


And some painting...

and an order.

And some ornaments.

Twelve down and Eighty-Eight to go.
I should have started on this order way sooner!

They grow up way to fast :(
Everyone tells you that, they say, "enjoy every minute" it goes by in the blink of an eye". You don't quite understand that, or believe it but it is so true.
I am hoping that I will enjoy every minute of the "Gramma" stage. When that happens that is.

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
