My mom was cleaning up and she found this. This was from when I was in Kindergarten. I smelled pretty bad so I just took a picture of it and tossed it. Did you make one of these in Kindergarten? They got a large piece of butcher paper and made you lie down on it. You got traced, then you had to color yourself in. haha. I don't know if they still do this in Kindergarten.
These are string pot holders and coasters. I made for my mom's birthday. I actually went overboard on the coasters and made double the amount. It was a good thing too, because I used them in a Christmas grab bag at the 2012 Bernina Club Christmas party. The woman who got it really liked it. She told me that she has to keep track of them so that they don't walk away.
As in a earlier post here, I wrote about my worms. Well, I have a large black rubbermaid container with my worms in it. It is raised off the floor of the garage and the lid has air holes. One day, there was a small frog in it, like the one we found in the house. As I was moving the paper to feed the worms the frog jumped out at me! After that I decided to get the worms a new home. We went to Koolau Farmers and found this green worm bin. We tried to clean out the black bin, but it so large that we couldn't get all the worms out. Hopefully we can get to it this summer, otherwise I will have two worm bins! I don't know if I can maintain two of them.
I'm not sure, but I think you can only see this in Hawaii. We were behind this on our way in to school one morning. I don't know how well you can see this, but they had a pig on each side and the dogs were in the middle. Can you tell we live in the country? lol.
The next two pictures are from Bernina Club. The teacher did a demo on how to make this pot holder. The pictures are of the front and back of the pot holder. The back looks like a pie plate. Isn't it cute? I think I need to buy more fabric with food on it. ;)
I'm so far behind in my blogging, but this is what I made with those 9-patch blocks. I gave these away for Christmas gifts. I had a request to make more, but I haven't had time yet. I have been busy making other things.
Every year the City has a wreath contest. These are some of the wreaths. The first one is made from things a person found on their walks.
This next wreath is made of balls covered with fabric. They also glued some sequins on it. The small one below has little paper stars on it.
This next wreath is made with bottle caps and little toys. The one below it is made from magazine pages.
This particular wreath was made from puzzle pieces! It looks like the pieces that made up the anthuriums were painted.
This wreath was made from scrubbers.
This one was made from bubble wrap that was painted silver!
This one was my favorite! It is made of yoyos.
Some people are so creative. I hope you enjoyed this.
Happy New Year!
It's been a while since I posted anything. Things have been crazy and I also got sick...I'm still not totally well, but will have to go back to school/work tomorrow.
Anyway, the pot holders on the left were made as samples for my sewing class.
I also made a tea wallet, which I sent to my SIL in Arizona for her birthday. It was late, but I hope to be on time next year. Sorry about that, I hope you enjoy the wallet.
I made more things for Christmas, but forgot to take pictures. I will post the pictures of what I have.
I've been working on RRCB when I have time. I will post pictures of the steps I have completed. I'm currently working on the last ten string blocks of step 3.
I also need to finish putting Carolina Christmas together. Lots to work on this year...will keep you updated.
