Beautiful evening!

-
Saturday afternoon and evening was spent in Pittsburgh
with Shawnee, Gracelyn and Garren.
It was the second night of
Light Up Night
and
while at first I said that I didn't want to go,
I am so glad that I had second thoughts!


It was a wonderful evening
and
the weather was perfect!


Gracelyn loves all things horses!


And she waved until I thought her arm had to be tired.
The princess wave of course.



And Garren thought it was OK also.




I was using Shawnee's camera
and the shots were not all that great.
Not her camera,
I am sure it was the person behind the camera.


Elmo and Cookie Monster made an appearance.


I liked these caped riders.


A Cinderella moment.


And these little minis were so cute!

If you live near here and have never been to this, mark it on your calendar for next year!
It was a great event!
Parking and Traffic were minimal issues.
and it was a great family crowd!

That sounds like so much fun! There's something about experiencing a parade with a small child. :)
(And I would have said no at first, too.)

Oh, I am so glad you decided to go to the event as well. Precious grands and the look in Gracelyn's face it priceless. Garren is so cute, I can just tell he and I would be best buds! Glad you are already enjoying the season. We went and visited Santa's workshop with Darbee Rae last night. That will be a future post. You have a great Sunday.

Looks like a fun family night. It is so much fun to watch the kids faces when they experience the holidays. It's all fun and anticipation for them.

Wow...can't believe all the places doing the holiday light kick-off before Thanksgiving....We're always the Friday after...and that suits me fine. Looks like a wonderful parade...I only went to ours once - too frigid for one thing, and wasn't impressed as it was mostly cars with political affiliations. Talk about zapping the holiday spirit! Your grands are so cute - think Gracelyn has that princess wave nailed! Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

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
