Day 172 - Felt Candle Mats

We had a fun albeit rainy camping weekend at Great River Bluffs State Park near La Crosse, WI.  Our daughter was able to join us for the weekend too.


After tremendous, torrential rains Friday night we went into La Crosse in the morning.  Visited Hobby Lobby and then to Olive Juice Quilts which Micaela so enjoyed.  It thrilled me no end to hear her say "I want some of each fabric in the store."  A daughter after my own heart!  I knew that it was a quilt shop that she would enjoy and find many fabrics that she would love!!  Then had lunch by the Mississippi River where we watched a barge go by.  Micaela suggested that we drive to the Lock and Dam #7 and watch it go through.  That took up the rest of the afternoon and was fascinating.  Dinner and a campfire and then the Park Ranger stopped by to let us know that there were severe thunderstorms in the area as well as high winds.  We packed things up for the night and about 45 minutes later the rain began.  Lots of rain and wind.  It was another grand camping weekend!


Needless to say not a lot of crafting was going on.  I did get the 8 base pieces cut out for the Easter candle mats and then some of the chicks pinned on to one of them.  So I go to begin sewing on the chicks and realize that the assortment of thread that I brought along for the project didn't have yellow in it.  So ended
 the attempt at this camping weekend crafting!!
