Three more finished.

-
The little pennants have been partially finished for over a week.
Number three.


Rug finished.
Number 4.

The big pennants.
Number 5.

Ann is way ahead of me on this challenge,
however,
I am really happy to have at least finished something
or
some
things.

This is what we call the
Casnabberfort
on our deck.
Named by the carpenter that built it.
The name stuck.


After the untimely death of the camper,
(more on that in another post)
I decided to decorate this
area
with the collection of camper decorations
that I had started.

Getting mixed reviews.
What do you think?

Cathy, I love the pennants- very cute. Is this a pattern, or something you made up? Did you use interfacing? I'd love to know more about them.

I didn't get one thing done yesterday - dentist appointments and hair cuts for the kids. Why is it that now Carrie can drive herself and has her own car does Mom have to go along? I just wanted her to take her youngest brother with her for them both to get haircuts. Nope, I had to take middle child to get his cut, run him home and go back so I could be there for her. Then middle child had a double header last night - we were eating dinner at 10:00pm. Hopefully today I can get a few things done. ~Ann

The pennants look like so much fun. Are they fabric or paper? I need to make some:) Casnabberfort looks like a sweet spot to relax. I do like what you have done to it. If it is a tribute of some sort, who cares what the review is. It's the meaning behind it that counts. Have a great day. -Steph-

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
