Impromptu Sleepover

-
This is what my house looked like this morning.
At one point in life,
I had these grand plans of creating this wonderful
kid's bedroom.
Oh, I pinned and planned.
But really,
they would rather sleep on the floor in piles of blankets.
 
 
So,
the day started out with two.
Just to swim.
Of course, the ones that own the pool would be there,
making four.
Then we were to go to Kendall's game
in
Rural Valley
and then take the two home.
Logan decided to go to the game with us.
Three.
The game was moved to Indiana,
30 miles away.
We load up.
 
And stand and sit in the rain.
The game is over at ten.
Somewhere in there
Kamden,
not to be left out of a party,
announces he is staying with
Mommy Mamaw
tonight.
And then Logan decides he is staying also.
Four.
 
 
Before bed,
Garren and Kamden
discussing life
over banana popsicles.

By eleven the giggling was over and they were out,
until,
Tyler showed up in pajamas.
dragging his blanket
for breakfast.
Five.

What a fun night!
Impromptu
Unplanned.
The best events!

Oh and why the first two did not go home?
Mommy and Daddy,
coming home from California
got stuck in Philadelphia
thanks to our
"highly efficient "
air travel system!
 
 
Swimming earlier in the day.

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
